I am going to make contact with the consulate of France in Nigeria. I have
been in touch with them since thursday. I am also going to call them on
monday for further information.

Technically we need to sort out this problem with SLOBS and SFC about the
money in question.

Secondly takina a train in Bordeaux is tricky because my last discussion i
had with the Team in Bordeaux. They told me that i will be flying from Port
Harcourt to Bordeaux, but i am not sure yet. But the flight needed might be
the same with Ibiam's, i will also contact the scratch team.

Re: [IAEP] [SLOBS] [SLOB] email motion re Scratch Conference (Adam Holt)

2017-05-20 Thread Tony Anderson 
The only advice is to get busy with the visa application. It takes a 
minimum of 15 days to process. The step by step is outlined on those 
websites. The main
point it that they must spend a day in Lagos up front filling out the 
visa application. In my experience this is like renewing a driver's 
license - you don't make an appointment, you just go there and follow 
the instructions. They can find out before they go to Lagos what they 
need to bring: passport, birth certificate, extra passport photos and so 
on. They will then to return to Lagos to get the completed visa 
(normally the passport is kept by the consulate during the 15 days).


Personally, since we seem to be willing to fund individuals for past 
contributions to Sugar Labs, I think the contributions of Samson and 
Ibiam are indisputable.

It should be funded on that basis alone.

Samson and Ibiam will need a Shengen visa
(https://buzznigeria.com/schengen-visa/).

This is handled by the Consulate of France in Nigeria in Lagos
(http://www.vfsglobal.com/France/Nigeria/)

I would recommend they add a couple of days to the trip to visit Paris.
They could fly to Paris de Gaulle, take the train to Bordeaux (leaves
from the terminal) and then return by train from Bordeaux. OLPC France
plans to have some folks there who can help with the arrangements. I
expect to be there as well.
