[opensuse-conference] oSC 2014 Travel Support Requests Period Open
by Efstathios Iosifidis 21 Feb '14

21 Feb '14

Today the openSUSE Travel Support Team opened the Travel Support Request Submission tool for requests related to the openSUSE Conference 2014 in Dubrovnic, Croatia. The goal is to help everybody in and around openSUSE to be able to come to the openSUSE Conference! You don't have to be one of the top 10 packagers to apply - if you're translating, building a local community or helping out at the forums, we might still be able to offer you support, so apply! When and how The application period starts today February 20th and closes on February 28th. All requests will be managed through our application at http://connect.opensuse.org/travel-support. You will need an openSUSE Connect account in order to log in the application and apply for sponsorship. A few reminders - Please, read the Travel Support wiki page http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Travel_Support_Program carefully before you apply. We want everybody to be there! Even if you think you would not qualify for travel support, just submit a request! If you don't ask we can't help you! - The Travel Committee can reimburse up to 80% of travel and lodging costs. That includes plane ticket, train and bus tickets (no taxi), even car gas on some occasions, and hotel or hostel costs. Food and all local expenses are on you! - The Travel Team won't be able to book or pay anything in advance, reimbursement comes after the event is over, based on receipts you keep of your expenses. - Again: no receipts = no money - it's the rules! - Those sponsored by the Travel Team have to write a blog or report on the event and are expected to be available for helping with tasks at the event where needed! - Sponsorship decisions are influenced by the openSUSE history of the requester. Your involvement with openSUSE is really relevant! - Having an abstract submitted for presentation at the conference is relevant as well. Note that the CfP ends on February 28th so there is still time (https://conference.opensuse.org/osem/)! - If you got support before and complied with all the requirements, this gets you bonus points too. - The amount requested must be detailed according to your request, like the airport you will be departing from, sharing hotel/hostel rooms, costs associated with your trip. - Try to get the best fares for tickets and lodging. Remember if approved at least 20% (and sometimes more) will be paid by you. Hurry up! Our goal is to support as many people as possible. If you need support to make it to the event, PLEASE SEND IN A REQUEST https://connect.opensuse.org/travel-support/users/sign_in ! We will attempt to send the approvals before March 5th, 2014 so you can start booking. Book quickly, as we don't cover anything over the previously agreed amount so higher prices are on you! The conference is getting close and the deadline for travel support is tight so start searching for flights right now! Set up your openSUSE Connect account and send in a request as soon as possible! Hope to see you there. Your Travel Support Team -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-conference+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-conference+owner(a)opensuse.org

by Bruno Friedmann 03 Feb '14

03 Feb '14

A kind reminder about the fact that conference.opensuse.org need quite urgent updates. During the week-end at Fosdem, I've personally invited several keys speaker to propose a talk. I've to consolidate information from news.o.o conference.o.o + mails in mailing list to guide them through our "little green garden mess". If someone with some spare time circle can fork the website on github and propose more information like all related one present here https://news.opensuse.org/2014/01/29/osc14-cfp-and-registration-open/ would be really appreciate to all our future guest & speakers.
