yes,the proposal should contain enough information for us (you and the e.V.) 
to put together a budget for the event. usually that includes:

* the location for the event

* who is coming, and from where they will be coming from (travel is often a 
large component of the expenses)

* the accomodations and their cost

* other costs that might need to be covered

note that we usually don't cover food and drink =)

that would be great.

oh, one other thing we like to see on the attendee list is some new 
contributors. we (the e.V. board) see developer sprints as a way to also 
introduce new blood into existing projects. we don't want sprints to become a 
sort of "old boys club" either. so we usually look for new faces in the crowd 
at these events. usually this isn't a problem for projects, but something they 
sometimes overlook at first.

a "new person" might be someone who start contributing to the project in the 
last year or so or someone who has perhaps been around long than a year but 
never been to a face-to-face event with others in the project.

finally, the proposal doesn't need to be long and fancy. in fact, for the e.V. 
board's sake we prefer short and to the point. a simple email with all the 
relevant facts is usually enough =)
