#71: Funding request for Jef van Schendel -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: schendje | Owner: jsmith Type: Funding request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: FUDCon Tempe 2011 | Keywords: -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- * What do you need covered? (Please estimate the costs in USD: hotel $X, travel $Y)
Travel: €525,10 / $732,83, hotel for 4 nights
* If we cannot provide a full subsidy, will a partial subsidy be helpful? (Yes/No)
No.
* What will you accomplish by being at FUDCon? (Please be as specific as possible, since this is the most important factor in granting requests.)
Besides the obvious "meeting people", I plan to give two (or more, if there's demand ;-) ) talks. I'd like to give a talk on usability, since in January I will also finish my internship and I hope to share some of my findings and best practices. I'd also like to give one or more about general design / artwork in Fedora. I'll discuss the details on that with Mo and the rest of the Design Team though.
I'll also give me the chance to participate in (design) brainstorms. For instance I heard there will be one about the new Anaconda UX, which I'd like to attend to give some input. Another things is GNOME Shell, I'd like to discuss how the Design Team will deal with that.
* 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.
This is the cheapest one I found, with United Airlines:
Fr 28-jan-11: Flights 3203+3439: Amsterdam (AMS) 13:20 -> Newark (EWR) 16:05-17:20 -> Phoenix (PHX) 20:49 Tu 01-feb-11: Flights 3731+3318: Phoenix (PHX) 11:05 -> Houston (IAH) 14:40-15:30 -> Amsterdam (AMS) 08:05
I'm fine with other times or dates though.
* Do you need a visa or other official processing before you can attend FUDCon?
Nope, I checked and I believe that won't be any problem.
