#12: Funding request for Igor Soares -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: igor | Owner: somebody Type: Funding request | Status: new Priority: blocker | Milestone: Tempe 2011: Travel subisides complete Component: FUDCon Tempe 2011 | Keywords: -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- * What do you need covered? (Please estimate the costs in USD.) * Air ticket from Belo Horizonte, Brazil to Phoenix (Round-Trip). Cost: ~$1,570.00 from Continental Airlines. * Lodging.
* Will a partial subsidy be helpful? (Yes/No) * No. I am a college student therefore I will need full subsidy, but I can afford my daily expenses such as taxi and meals.
* What will you accomplish by being at FUDCon? (Please be as specific as possible.) * I intend to participate specially for learning how a FUDCon in NA is held and organized. I intend to use this experience to help organizing the next FUDCon in LATAM. I want to learn how barcamps and hackfests are organized. I have been working on internationalization and localization quality assurance so it will be a great opportunity to get together with other folks and create value for Fedora. I intend to run an i18n/l10n testing hackfest in order to experience how it happens in the NA context. I attended to both FUDCons in LATAM and I will be able to exchange positive and negative experiences with other attendees and organizers.
* If your request is for an airfare, please include complete flight information -- either flight numbers, or desired departure and arrival locations, dates, and times. * This can be quite flexible for me. But probable flight information is here: * From Belo Horizonte (CNF) to Phoenix (PHX) - depart: Jan. 27, 2011 6:55 p.m. - arrive: Jan. 28, 2011 9:50 a.m. * From Phoenix (PHX) to Belo Horizonte (CNF) - depart: Feb. 1, 2011 4:00 p.m. - arrive: Feb. 2, 2011 2:27 p.m.
* Include any additional, relevant information. * Getting a visa might take 60-90 days and I will need a letter of recommendation.

Sorry, I just read your earlier comments more carefully Igor -- I see that you do need a letter. We'll prepare that for you immediately.
I need from you the following information: * Your full mailing address
I'll send you a PDF of an invitation letter addressed to you, which you can print out. According to the US Dept of State the invitation letter is not a requirement for a B-1 visa, but it can't hurt either.

Paul, I sent my mailing address to you via email.
Although is not a requirement, the invitation letter will be helpful since there is no formal registration paper for FUDCon.
Thanks, Igor

Just a follow-up: visa was granted and all paperwork for traveling is now done.
I'm looking forward to meet a lot of Fedora folks in Tempe!
Thanks for everything.
