#468: Funding request for Robert Mayr (robyduck) ----------------------------------+------------------- Reporter: robyduck | Owner: cicku Type: Funding request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: FUDCon Beijing 2014 | Keywords: Blocked By: | Blocking: ----------------------------------+------------------- * What do you need covered? (Please estimate the costs in USD: hotel $X, travel $Y.)
I need to get partially covered my flight, which is about 850$, while I will pay by myself for the accomodation (4 nights) and the other transport costs.
* If we cannot provide a full subsidy, will a partial subsidy be helpful? (Yes/No?)
Yes.
* If Yes, specify the minimum amount you need covered to facilitate your attendance.
It would appreciated for me getting at least 450$ for the flight, I'll pay all the rest, hotel included (will stay near BUAA).
* What will you accomplish by being at FUDCon? (Please be as specific as possible, since this is the most important factor in granting requests.)
If still possible I'd like to give a talk about our websites: "Fedora Websites: actual workflow and how fedora.next will change fedoraproject.org". This can also be done as lightning talk or working session.
* If you are requesting airfare, include complete flight information such as flight numbers, desired departure and arrival airports, and times. Also let us know if you have specific time restrictions.
I don't have the flight numbers yet, but I will arrive at Beijing friday 22th in the very early morning and will depart monday 26th. I'll book the flight by myself, no worries.
* Do you need a visa or other official processing before you can attend FUDCon? If so, approximately how long does that processing take?
Yes I need a visa, I will request it tomorrow and already asked for an invitation letter filling out the web-form, to get it more smoothly. I should have enough time to get it before departure, it's about 4 or 5 days here.
