#37 Funding request for Alejandro Acosta
Closed: Fixed None Opened 13 years ago by aacosta.

Tell us the following:

  • What do you need covered? (Please estimate the costs in USD: hotel $X, travel $Y)

Hotel (room share), meals and fuel, planning road trip with Nushio, about 600 miles from Chihuahua, MX. Fuel expense estimated at $180. Cheaper than flying and we could take other participants with us

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

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

We'd like to meet our counterparts across the border and start working on collaboration in both sides. As we both live in border states, it often gets easier to attend events in the US than LATAM itself (Chile, Brazil, even Mexico City).It also makes it easier to exchange swag or buy items from US than send/receive to/from other countries. We would also like to meet the latino community in Arizona to build the bridges and communication channels to leverage our common project.

  • 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.

  • Do you need a visa or other official processing before you can attend FUDCon?YOUR_NAME_HERE If so, approximately how long does that processing take?
    I already have border crosser card and in order to travel to AZ I just need to request a permit in the border station. Quite simple, done it before several times.

  • Include any additional, relevant information.
    willing to do a talk/presentation/workshop on the issues that according to previously stated could be interesting to attendees.


We agreed to cover Alejandro's hotel room, and his travel costs will be included in ticket 32 with Nushio, as they're driving together.
