Hey, Jeff - Red Hat has set aside some budget for TOS-related stuff, and this sounds like a good use of this budget to us. :) If you'll write a trip report to Planet TOS, Red Hat will gladly cover your plane flight and one night of hotel. If this sounds agreeable, find me on IRC and we'll get the details taken care of (mostly "I should put your plane ticket on my Red Hat credit card"). So I suppose this works as an informal budget request protocol, and we can try to figure out ways to make it more useful/transparent. :) --Mel _______________________________________________ tos mailing list tos@teachingopensource.org http://teachingopensource.org/mailman/listinfo/tos
