Travel Support Team Expands to Help With Marketing Materials
by Izabel Valverde 04 Jun '12

Dear openSUSE people, Right now, the openSUSE Travel Support team helps you out with travel costs for representing openSUSE at events. From now on, the team will also reimburse booth costs and marketing material costs up to a limit. We'll be able to support expenses up to € 100 in Europe or $ 100 in the US and everywhere else. You can use this to print stickers, t-shirts, flyers and many other things in addition to the materials we can send you with the DVD’s. There are many materials available in our github repository on https://github.com/openSUSE/artwork - feel free to modify and improve any of that and submit changes back to our repo! The process will work the same way as the Travel Support: you let us know in advance; we agree on an amount and you get the money back based on the receipts. More info: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Travel_Support_Program The process: * Send the request to travel-support(a)opensuse.org * Tell and show us what you want to produce, why and for what event. * Wait patiently to get questions or suggestions about your request * Any extra information can be required, please provide it asap * Expect a confirmation of your approval, or if it's taking too long, feel free to ping any member of the committee The reimbursement process: * After the material produced take a picture from what you did. * Send the receipts, pictures and form filled to travel-support(a)opensuse.org * The receipts submitted for reimbursement must contain the itemized expenses We’re happy to improve on our support for the ambassador activities for openSUSE and welcome any suggestions for further improvements! Thank you for your support, The Travel Support Team -- Izabel Valverde openSUSE Travel Support Program http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Travel_Support_Program http://news.opensuse.org/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+owner(a)opensuse.org
