 Please set the "Component" below to the correct event for your request.

 Tell us the following:

 * What do you need covered? (Please estimate the costs in USD: hotel $X,
 travel $Y.)

 ||= Travel =|| USD600 (Flight from KUL-Pune with 1 stop) ||
 ||= Hotel =|| 1 bed ||
 ||= Visa =|| self-coverage ||


 * 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.

 USD500 and a couch to sleep

 * What will you accomplish by being at FUDCon? (Please be as specific as
 possible, since this is the most important factor in granting requests.)

 Will be giving a talk titled "Selling" Open Source 101, which will be
 covering business models, processes, and structure on how to start your
 own Open Source business.

 As a cardholder I can also help with expenses if needed.

 * 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.

 TBC .. currently Orbitz gives one suggestion to take KUL-Delhi-Pune, but
 if KUL-Mumbai and going to Pune with taxi is cheaper, then i'll take that.


 * Do you need a visa or other official processing before you can attend
 FUDCon? If so, approximately how long does that processing take?

 Yes, 2 weeks iirc

 * Include any additional, relevant information.

 I'm a cardholder, should be able to buy the ticket myself .. or is there a
 specific designated cardholder for this event?

 will need to know who should I report the expenses to, considering FUDCon
 budget is separate from APAC budget.

 Replying to [ticket:589 izhar]:
>  ||= Travel =|| USD600 (Flight from KUL-Pune with 1 stop) || 
 The cheapest ticket for KUL-Mumbai I can find is $326 and there are
 multiple options well below $500.  That is what we'll consider since we'll
 arrange a cab to pick you up from Mumbai.

>  I'm a cardholder, should be able to buy the ticket myself .. or
> is there 
 a specific designated cardholder for this event?

 Nah, Ruth mentioned that she was OK with using your card too.  We will
 discuss travel tickets (including yours) in our meeting on 5th May at
 09:30 UTC.

 Hello Izhar,

 Just to remind you, please book your tickets in time and attach them here
 for later reimbursement purposes. Confirmed itinerary(timings) will help
 us in planning cab pick-ups from Mumbai to Pune, if required.

 Thank you. :)
