That's true and it's awesome that you remembered about this :). We have GSoC 
students like Diego and Ana that have never been to a developer sprint before. 
Ana was in Akademy and Diego couldn't go to Akademy and it's probably worth it 
checking with him about his availability for Tokamak (I'm ccing him). Diego, 
are there any chances that it would be possible for you to attend Tokamak ?

It would also be great to have Ana there as she is mentored by Ivan who is 
coming too. The problem with bringing brazilians is that it tends to be 
expensive and that includes me too. But it would be awesome to have her working 
on her project with her mentor during Tokamak (the same apply for Diego as he's 
working on Plasmate and his mentors - me and Ricardo - will be there too).

From what I've heard about Ana, as she is a student, there is no way for her to 
pay any amount of the air tickets, so we would need 100% sponsorship for her if 
she is available. Unfortunately, I also can't afford more than 20% of the price 
of the ticket and that increases a little bit the cost of the whole thing 
(making some "head-math" I would say that from 3015 EUR we would go to ~ 4115 
EUR just for air tickets to have both students there).

What do you think Celeste ?

Cheers!

PS: I'm ccing the students to know if they're available on the dates.
