#375: Funding request for Pierre-Yves Chibon (pingou) -------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: pingou | Owner: ianweller Type: Funding | Status: new request | Milestone: Security FAD: Travel Purchase Priority: normal | Requests Component: FUDCon | Keywords: Lawrence 2013 | Blocking: Blocked By: | -------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Tell us the following:

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

I would like to have my travel covered and a part of the hotel would be nice. * travel eDreams on 2012-10-29, from January 16th to January 22nd: ~US$900 * hotel the wiki pages says US$119/night, if the three nights from the FUDCon could be consider that would be nice, so US$357 * total: US$1257

* 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 would appreciate to have the travel costs covered.

* 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 have been working with the infrastructure team for 18months now, but I have not had the chance to meet most of them. This FUDCon would be an occasion to do this for me.

In addition, we need to think as a group the way we want to do our web- application development especially wrt framework and imho unit-tests.

I am also involved in setting up jenkins instances on our cloud but there is much more we can do with it and I would be quite interesting to discuss or even possibly work on this over there.

* 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. I found these flights which looks interesting: Wed, 16-Jan-13 11:00 Amsterdam (AMS) 16:28 Kansas City, MO (MKC)

Tue, 22-Jan-13 15:51 Kansas City, MO (MKC) 09:20 (+ 1) Amsterdam (AMS)

Both are with United Airlines

* Do you need a visa or other official processing before you can attend FUDCon? If so, approximately how long does that processing take? Yes and no, as a european citizen I have to apply at the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) for the said authorization to stay on US ground.

* Include any additional, relevant information. None that I foresee.
