Visa fee: USD160.
Paypal: USD10
Total: USD170

@mayorga 2 things:
1.- Yiiiiijaaaaa!!!! I love people from Latam attending Flock, that is really awesome.
2.- We agreed that we will use the Event Organization Guideline. That's why @alyaj2a ask for the wiki lnik. Even when Flock should be known for all of us, rules are rules.

+1 for me since now

@mayorga do the transaction, upload receipts so you can be reimbursed.

I understand that now we are using transferwise. I have opened an account
neville at guegue dot net

@bex please reimburse USD 160.00 to @yn1v

@yn1v I will send it via transferwise, however you are not required to use it. The fees tend to be lower and most folks prefer to receive money in their home currency.

FYI - this will not be charged to LATAM, I will put it with the Flock costs. In the future, thsi fee should be included in funding request. @mayorga

@bex I tryed to link my bank account to tranferwise bank account. There is no option for local currency for Nicaragua. So I will need to be reimbursed using paypal. That will be the USD 160 plus 4.5% for paypal transfer fee. I will not ask the bank fee to cash this reimbursement, as I am using electronic money from time to time.

I understand @yn1v - and Fedora will cover the cost of conversion to your currency if needed.

Can I pay this during the week of the 15th or do you need it sooner? Sooner isnok, I'm just trying to avoid doing it from my phone :)

Please let me know.

Received. This issue can be closed.
