Subject: Re: [Ambassadors] Travel Sponsorships for Flock in EMEA
I totally agree with Christoph and Robert. And thanks to Jiri to bring
this up.
Flock is the new form of FUDCon and this year, it would be held in EMEA.
I think EMEA contributors should be sponsored fully/partially to attend.

We should at least have some FLOCK budget to reimburse flights, the
average cost of a flight ticket from european cities to Prague is
about 150€. I don't think we should sponsor the whole trip, what about
just traveling costs and the rest is up to them? With 5-6k $ we would
be able to sponsor flight tickets for 25 or perhaps 30 people, I think
that would be the right answer for the work they are doing and it is
less than 10% of the whole FLOCK budget.
And IMHO, that's the key point. Flock is in Europe and budget for
sponsoring EMEA people to come is not much.
Kind regards,
Tuan
