#375 Funding request for Pierre-Yves Chibon (pingou)
Closed: Invalid None Opened 11 years ago by pingou.

Tell us the following:

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

I would like to have my travel covered and a part of the hotel would be nice.
travel eDreams on 2012-10-29, from January 16th to January 22nd: ~US$900
hotel the wiki pages says US$119/night, if the three nights from the FUDCon could be consider that would be nice, so US$357
* total: US$1257

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

  • If Yes, specify the minimum amount you need covered to facilitate your attendance.
    I would appreciate to have the travel costs covered.

  • What will you accomplish by being at FUDCon? (Please be as specific as possible, since this is the most important factor in granting requests.)
    I have been working with the infrastructure team for 18months now, but I have not had the chance to meet most of them. This FUDCon would be an occasion to do this for me.

In addition, we need to think as a group the way we want to do our web-application development especially wrt framework and imho unit-tests.

I am also involved in setting up jenkins instances on our cloud but there is much more we can do with it and I would be quite interesting to discuss or even possibly work on this over there.

  • 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.
    I found these flights which looks interesting:
    Wed, 16-Jan-13
    11:00 Amsterdam (AMS)
    16:28 Kansas City, MO (MKC)

Tue, 22-Jan-13
15:51 Kansas City, MO (MKC)
09:20 (+ 1) Amsterdam (AMS)

Both are with United Airlines

  • Do you need a visa or other official processing before you can attend FUDCon? If so, approximately how long does that processing take?
    Yes and no, as a european citizen I have to apply at the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) for the said authorization to stay on US ground.

  • Include any additional, relevant information.
    None that I foresee.


The same flights are today ~$985

Checked on http://www.orbitz.com/ the flights I looked at are : $1,033.39
