#268 Funding request for Lucas Meneghel Rodrigues
Closed: Invalid None Opened 12 years ago by lmr.

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)

I was hoping to get around 300 USD to complement my trip from Brazil to the US. The idea is to have my manager to cover the bulk of the expenses, so with the aforementioned help it'd be easier for me to go.

  • If we cannot provide a full subsidy, will a partial subsidy be helpful? (Yes/No)

Yes, see above

  • If Yes, specify the minimum amount you need covered to facilitate your attendance.

200 USD

  • What will you accomplish by being at FUDCon? (Please be as specific as possible, since this is the most important factor in granting requests.)

  • Presentation about Fedora automated testing

  • Hackfest with OpenQA developers, to implement their wishlist for autotest

  • 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.

In case this complimentary subsidy gets accepted, I'll be taking care of the flight arrangements. In order to reduce costs, since I have friends in Washington DC the plan is, roughly speaking:

  • Flight GRU - IAD
  • Shuttle bus to Blacksburg, spend the weekend there for FUDCon
  • Shuttle bus to DC
  • Flight IAD - GRU

  • Do you need a visa or other official processing before you can attend FUDCon? If so, approximately how long does that processing take?

No, I do have a valid passport and visa.

  • Include any additional, relevant information.

No additional info I can think of right now.


Hi Lucas

200USD is pretty close to the hotel bill so I was wondering if our providing hotel accommodation would be enough to enable you to attend. This sounds like a great opportunity and I hope we can help make it possible for you to attend.

Yes, that would be perfect. I've already bought the tickets so I'm definitely going to attend.

My manager asked me to share room with Justin Forbes, I've sent him an email but did not get an answer from him yet. But in any case, the accomodations are really all I need.

Thanks for considering my request!

Hi Lucas,

Your request for hotel at FUDCon was approved at the 2011-11-23 subsidy meeting.

Justin Forbes is already rooming with someone else, so I'd suggest looking at the list to see if anyone else currently needs a roommate. If you need help finding someone, let me know.

Once you have a roommate you guys will need to book your own room, and we will pay for it at checkout.

Thanks,
Robyn

Thanks Robyn, j_dulaney approached me and we'll be sharing rooms. I'll book the hotel, thanks!
