For how long do we plan to stay in Kristiansand? Just for GUADEC - or do we plan to extend GIMPCon2004 to cover the weekend? Your expenses should cover transport and accommodation, and you should also say how much you really need - so for example, My plane ticket is ¤350, and hotel will be about ¤150 for the 3 nights, so that makes ¤500, but I guess I could get there with ¤300 and put up the other ¤200 myself. Basically, the chances are that there will not be enough money to cover all expenses, but if there aren't we'll try to cover the minimum to have the maximum amount of people there. I was thinking... Instead of spending NOK 300 (or more) on a hotel room, perhaps we could bring tents? That could bring in some of cool evening hacking we did at the CCC during last GIMPCon.

Well, I don't know if it is possible for me to come, because I'm in Rotterdam to complete my internship in this time. I think, that this isn't the biggest problem for me, rather then the expenses for travel. Your expenses should cover transport and accommodation, and you should also say how much you really need - so for example, My plane ticket is 350 EUR, and hotel will be about 150 EUR for the 3 nights, so that makes 500 EUR, but I guess I could get there with 300 EUR and put up the other 200 EUR myself. Basically, the chances are that there will not be enough money to cover all expenses, but if there aren't we'll try to cover the minimum to have the maximum amount of people there. I checked at opodo.de for travelcosts by plane to kristiansand and it was very expensive: 700 EUR and more (the route is stupid - they'll fly through europe to oslo). The Deutsche Bahn couldn't give me a price, so maybe there will be other chances or places to look for a more cheaper ticket. Please let me know, if there are cheaper ways ... I found some hotels to stay and there are about 764 NOK (about 87 EUR) times 3 and i got: 261 EUR for accomondation. Maybe its possible to stay as a student in the student flats or in a motel room ... If that is, what it looks like (more than 1000 EUR) i better stay in rotterdam for this year and let some more important persons for gimp development to meet eachother in kristiansand. About 500 EUR looks possible for me, but traveling by car seems more stressfull for my car than for me ;) Greetings, -- Roman Joost www: http://www.romanofski.de email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Did you also check flights going to Oslo? On a whim last night, I saw a number of flights from Orlando to Oslo from ~US$420+ at Travelocity. They had restrictions like anytime in June, but not knowing the dates I couldn't tell if that mattered. rgds, Chris ___ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
[Gimp-developer] Costs estimates
Hi all, For funding requests for GIMPCon in Norway, it will be very useful to have cost estimates for the event for the GIMP. Could everyone planning to go to Kristiansand send an estimate of how much money they will need to get there? Also, could you mention whether you will need some money in advance to pay for a plane ticket or something? If we know that you need money in advance, we can try and work something out. Your expenses should cover transport and accommodation, and you should also say how much you really need - so for example, My plane ticket is ¤350, and hotel will be about ¤150 for the 3 nights, so that makes ¤500, but I guess I could get there with ¤300 and put up the other ¤200 myself. Basically, the chances are that there will not be enough money to cover all expenses, but if there aren't we'll try to cover the minimum to have the maximum amount of people there. If you could do a quick search, and send me this information this week, that would be cool.
