Hey Sivan, as with Ana Ribeira who i also just answered here with the list we agreed to provide USD 450 from the funds for supporting your travel. As to accomodation i can't promise right now but think some support might be possible as well. Maybe something is possible with Andreas Pelme or, depending on your preferences, you might checkout the Black Forest hostel which is quite close to my place and has 20/30 EUR per night options.
If you have settled your travel please add yourself to the https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/wiki/sprint2016/ sprint page. holger On Tue, Mar 29, 2016 at 12:17 +0300, Sivan Greenberg wrote: > Hey Holger, > > > > I'll be coming from Tel Aviv, a flight to Frankfurt / Berlin would be > > > > around 450$ or a bit less, Skyscanner does not show me how can one get > > from > > > > Tel Aviv to Freiburg via air travel.
