#224 Funding request for Rahul Sundaram

Closed: Invalid None Opened 12 years ago by sundaram.

This is mostly a heads up that I would like to participate in FUDCon Blacksburg. A quick check shows the a return trip from Mumbai + taxi from Pune to Mumbai and back to be around $1750. I intend to present Ask Fedora and maybe run a hackfest as well if enough people show interest. Since Ask Fedora should already be in production launch and in good use, we will have our assorted set of feature requests and issues to fix. I will update this ticket with more information as needed.

Rahul,

Need to know the breakout of travel costs vs. hotel, if you're requesting hotel, etc.

Also, if you could fill out the following section (cut/pasted from the template for when you submit a subsidy ticket) it would be helpful.

Please set the "Component" below to the correct event for your request.

Tell us the following:

What do you need covered? (Please estimate the costs in USD: hotel $X, travel $Y)
If we cannot provide a full subsidy, will a partial subsidy be helpful? (Yes/No)
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.)
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.
Do you need a visa or other official processing before you can attend FUDCon? If so, approximately how long does that processing take?
Include any additional, relevant information.

I am cleaning up the track, Can we close this ticket ?

This ticket is being closed because the FUDCon event to which it applies already happened. If this is an error, please accept my apologies, and feel free to reopen the ticket.
