#84: Need FUDcon Funding -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: codeblock | Owner: jsmith Type: Funding request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: FUDCon Tempe 2011 | Keywords: -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Tell us the following:
* What do you need covered? (Please estimate the costs in USD: hotel $X, travel $Y)
Hotel: $338 for two nights at the primary hotel (no group discount available anymore).. seems quite expensive, open to any cheap close alternative.
Travel: $280-$300ish. Looks like no matter what, I'll have to switch to another plane half way through, both ways.
* If we cannot provide a full subsidy, will a partial subsidy be helpful? (Yes/No)
Possibly, though money is very tight, and I don't know if that's going to change by January.
* If Yes can you specify the minimum amount you would need covered to facilitate your attendance
--
* 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 work with the Infrastructure team near-daily, and really enjoy it. I would love to meet and collaborate with the people that I work with on IRC, and as well as learn more about the future of the Fedora project, talk with other users and developers of the project, and have a fun time hacking on code at the hackfest :)
* 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'll have to leave from CAK on Friday night (after class). As mentioned above, I'll have to switch to another plane half way through. I don't see a direct flight, in the search results. I'll need to be back to CAK by early monday morning (I'm fine with (and prefer) overnight travel) for class.
* Do you need a visa or other official processing before you can attend FUDCon? If so, approximately how long does that processing take?
Nope, I'm a US Citizen, born and raised. :)
* Include any additional, relevant information.
Don't know what else I should say. I'd love if I could be funded/sponsored to the conference, and meet the people I work with daily. Either way, I'd like to thank the Fedora project for considering me :)

Hi while late, I would really appreciate if CodeBlock could get to go. He has been a real big help on the Infrastructure team since this summer..

In the 12/17 subsidy meeting, we agreed to fund codeblock's flight and hotel (assuming he can share a room with someone else being subsidized).
Ricky, can you please send your full name, date of birth, and seating preference to Max Spevack, so that he can purchase your ticket. Also, please double-check your schedule so that you can spend as much time at FUDCon as possible, and make sure that Max knows about your scheduling requirements.

I have emailed him - not heard anything back yet. I read the meeting log, and am perfectly fine with taking monday off of class and work. Thank you very much for making this come true, I look forward to having a lot of fun.
