Hi FUDcon Tempe organizers,
I had a chance to get all caught up on Community Architecture team expenses over the Thanksgiving weekend, and here's where we stand for FUDCon Tempe.
The sum total of expenses that I've either paid for myself, or of expense reports coming from folks like Paul and Jared that were transferred to the Community budget is currently $11,590.
Robyn -- I know there's still some more plane tickets that need to be purchased, but when we talked about that last week, it seemed like the list of tickets in the trac instance and the actual airfare requirements didn't match up.
What still needs to be bought? Or am I just missing something obvious?

The obvious thing you are missing is the email from me that I promised to you last week :)
I need to sort through the tickets - I'm not sure why, but I think Jared and Paul were closing tickets after people had their subsidies approved (since the ticket was to *approve* them, not necessarily to keep track of whether or not their airfare had been purchased.)
Actually, it seems to me as though we should either make a concrete decision as to whether or not re-opening tickets for folks who were approved for subsidies, but may not have had their airfares purchased, is a good idea, or not what we want to do.
Jared, Paul - you've mostly been wrangling these tickets for these folks. Should we reopen those tickets? Or... ?

I think at some point the process changed, and I didn't change the Trac tickets to match what was pending in the spreadsheet. That shouldn't have unduly affected the purchase of tickets, because I clearly let everyone (with a credit card that is) :-) know that we were using the spreadsheet as the master record of approved people to buy for.
It won't take me but a few minutes to set the trac in order. I'll reopen the tickets for people who, according to the spreadsheet, are still awaiting airfare purchase. I'll set their milestones to a spending milestone, so they can be accurately tracked. Does that sound kosher?

I think that works. And then, for any further outstanding subsidy requests we may be able to fulfill, instead of closing those tickets, we should also change their milestone, correct?

That's right. Currently, we're spending against Red Hat's FY2011 Q4, so that's the milestone I used to reset the tickets. The list was duly spammed just a few minutes ago as a result. :-)
Then the ticket can be closed when the travel fare is actually purchased. I gave this link to Jared for use in purchasing tickets, which he'll be doing shortly:
