#343 Funding request for Nestos Theophrastou
Closed: Fixed None Opened 11 years ago by nestos.

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. Please note that for FUDCon Paris, hotel costs per person (in a shared room) are EUR122, or approximately $150 USD.)

As concerned the accomodation costs I looked the wiki page about FUDCon where it's mentioned that the cost is 81€ per night that amounts to a total of 298$ (or 243€) for the 3 nights.
The airplane tickets cost is 273$ (or 222€)
That makes a total of 571$ (or 465€)
I need everything covered (airplane tickets and hotel).

  • 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.

I can't pay more than 245$ (or 200€) so I need at least 326$ (or 265€).

  • What will you accomplish by being at FUDCon? (Please be as specific as possible, since this is the most important factor in granting requests.)

I'm a new contributor to fedora and I'd love to meet other community members. Since I'm a fedora ambassador attending FUDCon will help me gain experience which in turn I will share with others, resulting in spreading the world of fedora in Greece and I'll learn many things which will help me in many ways contributing to fedora itself.

  • 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?

No.

  • Include any additional, relevant information.

Ok, agreed at the tonight meeting.
Up to 300€. Please book quickly your plane ticket!

Air tickets booked! with a slight change of the original plan since we (Dimitris Glaros & myself) found a flight by Alitalia with more convenient hours regarding the conference plus it's cheaper, the only drawback is that we have to spend 10 hours during the night in Rome and that's why we have rejected the first time.

Ticket's price: 188.83€

Note: Dimitris Glaros hasn't booked his tickets yet.

Tickets are booked with the name Nestos Theofrastou because that's how my name is written at my ID but I spell my name Nestos Theophrastou (e.g. in my fedora wiki page it's spelled with ph not with f) so if you have to write my name somewhere please make sure to write with ph. :)

Hotel booked today :D See you in Paris!

Hi, could you send to me (shaiton@fpo) and fudcon-emea@fpo the hotel reservation number and the associated name to get Robyn paying or her arrival?

Same request sent to #345, I don't know who did the reservation ;)

Thanks,

Hello,

FUDCon is over (sadly) and because I paid for the airplane tickets I'd like to know how and when I'll get the money (180€).

Thanks for everything!

Hi Nestos,

We need the receipt for your airplane tickets in order to reimburse you, as well as your paypal address.

-Robyn

Hi,

I don't have paypal, I (actually my father because I'm underaged) have just a pre-paid card. Is the pre-paid card ok or I have to have paypal?

Thanks again,
Nestos

Any updates on this?
Thanks!

Hi Nestos,

I am a colleague of Robyn Bergeron and am following up on your question. We are not able to reimburse to pre-paid cards but we can do a wire transfer. Unfortunately, these can be very difficult and take some weeks, but it is the other option instead of PayPal. Please advise how you would like to proceed.

Best,
LH

Nestos -

Any thoughts on doing the wire transfer? Does your father perhaps have Paypal?

if Nestos agree,can use my paypal

Thanks Dimitris, it's really comfortable since I had some problems with paypal. Please use Dimitris' paypal instead :)

my paypal account is dimitrisglaros@gmail.com

I believe this expense report is now ready to pay. Unless I hear otherwise within 24 hours, I will be completing transfer via PayPal to ​dimitrisglaros@gmail.com

Well, darn it, I made a mistake. I do not see the receipts for this flight cost. Can you please attach them to this ticket? Alternatively if you send them to lh@fedoraproject.org, will take care of both attaching the receipt here and the reimbursement. Thank you!

Oops my bad :( sorry if I caused any trouble!
Thank you very much!

Payment sent to dimitrisglaros@gmail.com
