#12 Funding request for Igor Soares
Closed: Fixed None Opened 14 years ago by igor.

  • What do you need covered? (Please estimate the costs in USD.)
  • Air ticket from Belo Horizonte, Brazil to Phoenix (Round-Trip). Cost: ~$1,570.00 from Continental Airlines.
  • Lodging.

  • Will a partial subsidy be helpful? (Yes/No)

  • No. I am a college student therefore I will need full subsidy, but I can afford my daily expenses such as taxi and meals.

  • What will you accomplish by being at FUDCon? (Please be as specific as possible.)

  • I intend to participate specially for learning how a FUDCon in NA is held and organized. I intend to use this experience to help organizing the next FUDCon in LATAM. I want to learn how barcamps and hackfests are organized. I have been working on internationalization and localization quality assurance so it will be a great opportunity to get together with other folks and create value for Fedora. I intend to run an i18n/l10n testing hackfest in order to experience how it happens in the NA context. I attended to both FUDCons in LATAM and I will be able to exchange positive and negative experiences with other attendees and organizers.

  • If your request is for an airfare, please include complete flight information -- either flight numbers, or desired departure and arrival locations, dates, and times.

  • This can be quite flexible for me. But probable flight information is here:
  • From Belo Horizonte (CNF) to Phoenix (PHX) - depart: Jan. 27, 2011 6:55 p.m. - arrive: Jan. 28, 2011 9:50 a.m.
  • From Phoenix (PHX) to Belo Horizonte (CNF) - depart: Feb. 1, 2011 4:00 p.m. - arrive: Feb. 2, 2011 2:27 p.m.

  • Include any additional, relevant information.

  • Getting a visa might take 60-90 days and I will need a letter of recommendation.

I sent an email to Jared CCing Paul and also started the process for getting the visa.

Igor, let us know if you need a letter of invitation or anything else for your visa. I'm working on plane tickets today.

Sorry, I just read your earlier comments more carefully Igor -- I see that you do need a letter. We'll prepare that for you immediately.

I need from you the following information:
* Your full mailing address

I'll send you a PDF of an invitation letter addressed to you, which you can print out. According to the US Dept of State the invitation letter is not a requirement for a B-1 visa, but it can't hurt either.

Paul, I sent my mailing address to you via email.

Although is not a requirement, the invitation letter will be helpful since there is no formal registration paper for FUDCon.

Thanks,
Igor

I've sent Igor the requested letter of invitation. Now working on the airfare.

Airfare has been booked, $1592.69.

Just a follow-up: visa was granted and all paperwork for traveling is now done.

I'm looking forward to meet a lot of Fedora folks in Tempe!

Thanks for everything.
