(Please estimate the costs in USD: hotel $X, travel $Y)
travel: ~$200
OMA morning Jan 28 -> PHX
PHA afternoon evening Jan 31 -> OMA or PHX morning Feb 1 -> OMA
hotel: 4 (or 5) nights, standard conference/negotiated rate with roommate not booked yet)
* If we cannot provide a full subsidy, will a partial subsidy be helpful? (Yes/No)
Yes
* If Yes can you specify the minimum amount you would need covered to facilitate your attendance I could probably afford ~$200 of my own pocket without risking too much bodily harm from the wife.
* What will you accomplish by being at FUDCon?
I'll pitch a couple of talks (Packaging, and *something* KDE) Lead a hackfest around Qt/KDE/Meego, while trying to invite an upstream superstar or 2 to our humble event.
* 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.
My first try came up with $214 6:00am Jan 28 US Airways 86 OMA -> PHX 7:45pm Jan 31 US Airways 517 PHX -> OMA
second try using discounted AA got similar times, with connecting flights through DFW, came in at $196
I'd prefer the first one, no connecting flight, and it leaves later 7:45pm instead of AA's 5:30pm
