Markus, I'm not sure what is unclear in the wiki URL above. (I also 
don't know what "HF" refers to).
This is what is in the wiki now:
"OSGeo should not be the sole source of funding for the event. OSGeo 
prefers sprints to be partially funded by third-party sponsors, and may 
choose to provide funding "matching" the amount of sponsorship money 
raised. OSGeo's contribution should go towards reducing the net cost for 
participants instead of for instance supporting a more expensive venue 
or setup."

Ie, "matching" equates to providing the amount of funding equal to 
sponsorship found by others.
