#264 Should we provide a round of supplimentary travel funding for Flock?
Closed: approved 4 years ago by mattdm. Opened 4 years ago by mattdm.

We have a number of late requests for funding for Flock travel. The money we had budgeted for this is already allocated. I'd really like people to get to Flock. I propose we allocate $4000 from Council general funds for this. This is money we could use on hackfests and etc.; none of those are currently proposed, and from the budget report we can see that even with $100,000 set aside for Flock we're halfway through the year and quite underspent.

Once we have money allocated, the Flock travel committee will go through the requests which did not make the cutoff last round and also consider the late entries. Note that due to the late date no travel which requires a visa can be funded at this point.

Because this is urgent, please vote on this by this weekend. (July 14th) Thanks!
