'''What do you need covered? (Please estimate the costs in USD: hotel $X, travel $Y.)'''
Travel: Estimate is $700 as of today. I will book for my family (wife and 2.5 year old daughter) and request only subsidy for my share of the ticket.
I need a hotel booking too for my family so that we're in the same hotel as everyone else, but I can pay for it.
'''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.'''
$400
'''What will you accomplish by being at FUDCon? (Please be as specific as possible, since this is the most important factor in granting requests.)'''
Meet APAC Ambassadors
Volunteer if needed
'''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.'''
Tentative plan is to arrive in Siem Reap on 1-Nov and return from Phnom Penh on 7-Nov. I have verified that flying into Siem Reap costs more or less the same as flying into Phnom Penh, but I don't mind a reduction in subsidy if that is a concern.
'''Do you need a visa or other official processing before you can attend FUDCon? If so, approximately how long does that processing take? '''
3 business days for the e-visa. Visa on arrival is also possible for Indian nationals so that should not be a concern.
PNQ - PNH return ticket fudcon-return.pdf
I have booked the return ticket from PNQ <-> PNH since I need to book for my family. The ticket is attached. I understand that it is possible that I do not get any subsidy and while zero subsidy will be inconvenient, I can live with it.
Please book a hotel room for me with everyone else, checking in on '''3-Nov-2016''' and checking out on '''7-Nov-2016'''. I can pay for this myself since I will be traveling with family.
My portion of the air ticket cost is '''INR 42,506''', which is approx '''USD 640'''.
Invoice for my ticket fudcon-siddhesh-invoice.pdf
I was told that the ticket details I attached earlier was confusing since it had details of my family, so here is an individual invoice that I requested from the travel company (fudcon-siddhesh-invoice.pdf).
I made a mistake in the cost earlier, the travel company added an amount during the booking process that I did not notice. The new cost is '''INR 44,537''', which is approx '''USD 667'''.
Siddesh, according to the information I received from gnokii you were approved for $600. Can you send me your paypal id. I need to try it, but it has not been working. Once I try we will work on alternatives.
Thanks, my Paypal ID is siddhesh DOT poyarekar AT gmail DOT com.
@siddhesh, please try sending a request for payment to my email address, bexelbie (at) redhat.com.
I was unable to get a payment to go through to you.
@siddesh, alternately, it appears that Transferwise has service to India and we can use that as it should allow me to pay by CC.
I have requested payment on Paypal. If that still doesn't work I'll send you my account details for Transferwise.
Hey Brian, did you get my request on Paypal?
@siddhesh I received the request but I believe you will receive the money less fees. Let's try transfer wise. Please email your bank details at bex (at) pobox.com and note in this ticket that receiving a payment via transferwise is acceptable. Please also include the last 3 digits of your bank account number in this ticket.
