Please set the "Component" below to the correct event for your request.
Tell us the following:
Hotel for the dates 1/16 through either 1/19 or 1/20 depending on transportation arrangements. Will be either 4 or 5 nights at the standard FUDCon hotel prices so roughly $250 - $300.
Air or Ground transportation: Flights currently run around $300 and coming by bus less.
Maybe.
If Yes, specify the minimum amount you need covered to facilitate your attendance.
What will you accomplish by being at FUDCon? (Please be as specific as possible, since this is the most important factor in granting requests.)
NOTE: FADNA Participant
1/17 will be devoted entirely to FADNA where among our goals we will produce a detailed budget for the subsequent fiscal year based on decisions made during FADNA concerning our event schedule and anticipated promotional merchandise needs for the same time period. Among other FADNA activities I will work on will be to reorganize the FAmNA wiki presence to reflect current reality and provide easy to find information about current FAmNA practices so new ambassadors can come up to speed more easily.
1/18-20 will be FUDCon with some overlapping FADNA business. In addition to working on ambassador and marketing business, I'll be involved in a variety of Board sessions I expect although the Board has not organized its activities at FUDCon yet.
While I can do this at any time I am still considering ground travel options.
No.
Approved $650, to be split with FADNA budget.
Looks like the best option for transportation for me will be greyhound/jefferson lines. I haven't ridden a bus in decades so I don't know what all the options are for pricing (looks like for $5 seats can be reserved which is likely worth $5 extra and I'd prefer printable tickets if possible). I need two one-way tickets since the end-points differ. Here are my choices for those. This should be bookable through greyhound.com. Thanks.
