02:35:45 <mchua> Oh, Jaroslav has put a funding request up, but not emailed myself and Paul
02:35:48 <mchua> http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/JaroslavReznik#FUDCon_2009_Toronto
02:39:03 <mchua> He's asked for $700 plane + $150 hotel = $850
02:39:15 <mchua> he is a Red Hat engineer from Brno working on the Base OS dev team
02:39:29 <stickster> The only issue that I see with this application is that for what we'd pay for this attendance, we could cover 2 or 3 more North American attendees.
02:39:41 <stickster> And we still have a significant number of people on the list
02:39:45 <mchua> Does system configuration in fedora/RHEL as well as involvement in the KDE SIG
02:40:03 <stickster> And we don't have any word from whether his team will cover his attendance.
02:40:12 <mchua> If we can get his RH team to cover his attendance, that's great.
02:40:15 <stickster> I can email the team manager and ask about that.
02:40:31 <stickster> But I would say that it would be a wiser use of our funds to try and get more North American folks to the event if possible.
02:40:43 <mchua> Brno already has a number of Fedora events happening locally.
02:41:27 <mchua> It's a wise use of our funds to fund local people to attend local events; so we should send NA folks to NA FUDCon and EMEA folks to EMEA events.
02:41:44 <mchua> whenever possible, unless they're 100% vital for a FUDCon to happen (such as Simon for the zikula hackfest.)
02:43:20 <mchua> #action stickster to advocate for Jaroslav Reznik's RH team to fund his travel to FUDCon

Note that I have not yet told Jaroslav about the decision, figuring that you would do it when you sent the various notes to Brno.

Emailed Jaroslav's manager about this earlier. She asked Jaroslav to send her a travel cost estimate and seems open to funding him. I'll report more here when I know it, but chances look good that his team will fund his travel to FUDCon.

This is done, Jaroslav is being funded through his team.
