[maemo-community] Maemo Summit 2009: US return flights for sponsored attendees

[From: Quim Gil]

So, going to the original request, there are three options:

1) Miss some Summit sessions to catch a flight on Sunday afternoon.

2) Fly late on Sunday having to sleep somewhere in NY.

3) Sleep an extra day in Amsterdam and catch a flight the next day.

Maybe it's me, but 3) sounds like a no brainer considering that the
sponsorship should cover anyway the extra night in NY.
