I paid my own expenses for DConf. So did many of the speakers (or the company 
they worked for).

Many people have donated generously to the D Foundation. The tickets sales do 
not cover the entire cost of the conference, the rest is made up for by the 
Foundation and the sponsor(s). We've kept the ticket prices low to enable more 
people to come. If there were profits, they'd accrue to the D Foundation, not me.

If you have specific things you want funded, you can donate with the proviso 
that the donation go to that thing.
