#133 Funding request for Rodrigo Padula
Closed: Fixed None Opened 13 years ago by rodrigop.

  • What do you need covered? (Please estimate the costs in USD.)
  • Air ticket from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to Panama (Round-Trip). Cost: ~$840 - ~$1060 from Gol, Taca or TAM Airlines.
  • Lodging.

  • Will a partial subsidy be helpful? (Yes/No)

  • Yes. I will need full subsidy but I can afford my daily expenses such as taxi/transfer and meals. I can try to buy my airfare using Star Alliance points, but I'm not sure if I have points to cover the entire trip.

  • What will you accomplish by being at FUDCon? (Please be as specific as possible.)

  • I will share my experiences creating/leading the Brazilian an Latam communities since 2005 helping the local team to grow and work in the right direction to keep the community motivated to help Fedora.
  • As official member of GNOME and Mozilla communities I will try to keep the local member informed to how to join and help Fedora through the Upstream projects that I'm involved by now.
  • The other important thing is to help and motivate local contributors in the approach with the Universities that they are linked to create some partnership with my university(Federal University of Rio de Janeiro) and to incentive people to create FLOSS Labs to develop researches and create/capacitate people in FLOSS.
  • I'm planning to give 2 talks about Upstream projects and I can participate in rounded tables and general Fedora discussions/talks.

  • If your request is for an airfare, please include complete flight information -- either flight numbers, or desired departure and arrival locations, dates, and times.

  • There are a lot of options from TAM, GOL and TACA and the costs are around ~$840 - ~$1060
  • My idea is to go to Panamá on 24 May and comeback on 29 May

Organizers might want to take a look into prices and itineraries from Taca Airlines since they will provide a discount for FUDCon that I'm not able to confirm/check by now.


Unfortunately Star Alliance don't have members with regular flights to Panama. So, I'm not able to use my points to go.

Copa Airlines has good prices and options from Brasil to Panama too.

As decided on last subsidy meeting Rodrigo will be waiting for remaining FUDCon budget.
If not possible, he will look for travel and lodging subsidy via Mozilla Foundation, so he needs a room at the villas to be reserved for him.

Hello guys, I've received budget confirmation from Mozilla/GNOME last saturday, but I will not able to attend the FUDCon 2011.

I've removed all my talks from the wiki page.

I will have some important meetings with the Brazilian government during the event Date in the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, where I'm developing some projects.

Best regards and have a nice event.

Rodrigo Padula.
