#232: Funding request for Elad Alfassa ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Reporter: elad | Owner: jbwillia Type: Funding request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: FUDCon Blacksburg 2012 | Keywords: ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- 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) Hotel: about $90 (probably less if I share a room with someone), Travel: about $1,749 (I wish I could find something less expensive) * 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. about $1,649 * What will you accomplish by being at FUDCon? (Please be as specific as possible, since this is the most important factor in granting requests.) I want to help with the design workshop, and also mockup and implement new design for ask.fedoraproject.org. * 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. Departure: Ben Gurion International Airport, Tel Aviv, Israel.
Arrival: Not sure yet. If I want to arrive at Roanoke I'll need to order a ticket from another airline in addition, the closest location I can get to without ordering tickets in two different airlines is Washington DC.
Flight numbers: not sure yet. * Do you need a visa or other official processing before you can attend FUDCon? If so, approximately how long does that processing take? Yes, visa and a passport, I'm not sure how long this is going to take. * Include any additional, relevant information. This is my last opportunity to attend a Fudcon in the next 3 years, because, from July, I'll be on 3 years mandatory military service for 3 years, during this time I won't have much time to contribute to Fedora. Furthermore, I'm only 17 and I don't have a job, so I won't be able to attend without funding.
Thanks.

Hmm, I think I found some cheaper flights, around $900, but I'm not exactly sure about the specific flights yet. So the minimum amount is now $800.

Scrap that, it was $900 for a one way ticket, with lots of waiting time between planes. I don't think waiting 6h is reasonable. But I did find a cheaper flight, $ 1289.94 (two way ticket) with much less waiting time:
Flight information:
{{{ Thu, Jan 12 Depart: 11:30 pm Tel Aviv Yafo, Israel (TLV) US Airways 797 1 stop Arrive: 10:53 am next day Roanoke, VA (ROA) US Airways 4339 operated by US AIRWAYS EXPRESS-PIEDMONT AIRLINES
Sun, Jan 15 Depart: 3:24 pm Roanoke, VA (ROA) US Airways 4295 operated by US AIRWAYS EXPRESS-PIEDMONT AIRLINES 1 stop Arrive: 3:05 pm next day Tel Aviv Yafo, Israel (TLV) US Airways 796
}}} so the minimum amount is $1189, and I'm sorry about the mess I made.

Actually I'm not sure about that either, I don't think I understood that website correctly. I'll ask someone with more experience in flying to help me. sorry.

Sorry for spamming the ticket.
I finally understood how to use the website.
{{{ Total airfare, taxes and fees: $ 1109.94

}}} This is a reasonable price, and the wait time isn't too much. Partial subsidy might help as well, so I guess the minimum amount would be $1009.94, I know it's quite a lot, but there is nothing cheaper with reasonable wait times.
And again, sorry for spamming the ticket.

Also, it seems that I'll probably need funding for lodging as well, which is about $360. partial subsidy might be helpful, minimum amount that would be helpful is $917.74 (flight)+$300 (hotel).
Thanks.
