The GNOME Foundation can offer travel sponsorship to individuals who want to attend GUADEC and need financial assistance.
We are happy to announce that the Travel Committee is ready to receive applications for sponsorships to attend to GUADEC 2016. Application deadline: 2016-06-22. Send in your applications now, do not wait until the deadline. I would also like to take this opportunity to encourage, and especially soon-to-be-sponsored attendees, to volunteer during GUADEC (you can sign up when registering). The instructions for sponsorship applications are at https://wiki.gnome.org/Travel If you need a visa invitation letter, please also read: https://wiki.gnome.org/Travel/Invitations Some additional comments: * If you are offered help with accommodation, the Travel Committee will book your accommodation. You should state that you need accommodation, and leave the cost blank. * Look for the most economical reasonable option (i.e. through a service like kayak.com). If we find a cheaper price, that will be the cost considered during the evaluation and you will make a kitten sad because you didn't do your research properly. * Any information you send to the Travel Committee will be private. * Asking for sponsorship *does not* guarantee that you will be sponsored. * A good application with good information will be processed faster. * No personal emails. Keep travel-committee CCed on all of your replies. Neglecting to do this will delay your application. * How to get to Karlsruhe: https://2016.guadec.org/travel/#city * Preference will be given to Foundation members. * Preference will be given to people presenting talks or workshops at GUADEC. * Preference will be given to GSoC or Outreachy interns and mentors. * The Travel committee should confirm that we have received your application within 2-3 days. After that, we will process them together. Regardless of whether your application is accepted or rejected, you will always receive a response. If you have not received a response by the 29th of May, please do follow up. You can find us in the #travel channel at irc.gnome.org. _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
