#40 Funding request for Rex Dieter
Closed: Fixed None Opened 14 years ago by rdieter.

  • What do you need covered? (Please estimate the costs in USD: hotel $X, travel $Y)

travel: ~$200

OMA morning Jan 28 -> PHX

PHA afternoon evening Jan 31 -> OMA
or
PHX morning Feb 1 -> OMA

hotel: 4 (or 5) nights, standard conference/negotiated rate with roommate not booked yet)

  • If we cannot provide a full subsidy, will a partial subsidy be helpful? (Yes/No)

Yes

  • If Yes can you specify the minimum amount you would need covered to facilitate your attendance
    I could probably afford ~$200 of my own pocket without risking too much bodily harm from the wife.

  • What will you accomplish by being at FUDCon?

I'll pitch a couple of talks (Packaging, and something KDE)
Lead a hackfest around Qt/KDE/Meego, while trying to invite an upstream superstar or 2 to our humble event.

  • 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.

My first try came up with
$214
6:00am Jan 28 US Airways 86 OMA -> PHX
7:45pm Jan 31 US Airways 517 PHX -> OMA

second try using discounted AA got similar times, with connecting flights through DFW, came in at $196

I'd prefer the first one, no connecting flight, and it leaves later 7:45pm instead of AA's 5:30pm


At the 9/14/10 subsidy meeting we agreed to cover airfare and 1/2 a hotel room, ~$450. If your situation changes for some reason, please let us know by reopening this ticket with details. See you at FUDCon Tempe!

Ticket booked, and confirmation/itinerary emailed to Rex.

NO ACTION taken on my part regarding hotel room.

Following each subsidy meeting I ran, we notified travelers to FUDCon Tempe that they were responsible for making their own hotel reservations. Hopefully Rex has his reservations made at this point? If not, please get in touch with us on the list or IRC channel (or in this ticket) and planners can help, since the original reservation block has closed.

I believe that this ticket can be closed now, since our spending up-front is now done for Rex. We will handle his lodging, but that can be accounted for on the back-end without further ticketing here AFAIK.

Re: hotel, I'll be rooming with smparrish (i'll double-check with him if I need a reservation or not...)
