By organizing the dev meeting, providing office space for free and potentially also some food and coffee and their time during organization, they are already sponsoring QGIS more than enough. Of course, if there is a local opportunity for sponsoring, the opportunity should be seized. But we cannot expect a local organizer also to find sponsors. BTW - this wasn't the case in the past anyway - perhaps with the sole exception of the danish meeting - which also had the conference and thus it was easier to attract sponsors.
