Dear hackers, As you may know, the GNOME Foundation provides travel sponsorships to individuals who want to attend GUADEC and need financial assistance. We are happy to announce the Travel Committee is ready to receive applications for sponsorships to attend to GUADEC 2012. This year, GUADEC is being held in the Faculty of Computer Science at the University of A Coruña, in the beautiful city of A Coruña (Spain), from Thursday 26th July until Wednesday 1st August. The instructions are detailed at http://live.gnome.org/Travel Please read them carefully. Deadline: May 16, 2012, 23:59 UTC. You can start sending your applications now! Some additional comments: * Any information you send to the Travel Committee will be private. * Asking for sponsorship *does not* guarantee you will get sponsored. * A good application with good information will be processed faster. * If you need help with accommodation, the Travel Committee will handle it directly with the organization. You should state that you need accommodation, and leave the cost blank. * Always choose the most economical option whenever possible. People who need travel sponsorship, should look for the best price (e.g. through a service like kayak.com). If the Travel Committee finds a cheaper price, that will be the price considered during the evaluation. * If you are applying to a Google Summer of Code program (as student or mentor) you should mention it in your application. * GSoC students usually get a percentage of their GUADEC expenses covered. * If you submitted an abstract to be presented at GUADEC, you should mention it in your application. Preference will be given to people giving presentations at GUADEC. * The travel committee will cross check with the GUADEC paper committee the talks that have been accepted, so as long as you let us know you submitted one, there is no need to follow up. * The Travel committee should reply back about receiving your application within 2-3 days. After that we would accumulate all the sponsorship requests and process them together. So please do not panic if we take some time to reply on the status. Affirmative/Negative you would surely get a response. * If you need an invitation letter, you must clearly state your contributions and name at least two fellow hackers that can directly support your requirement. * No personal emails. Please keep travel-committee Cc'ed on all your replies. You can find us in the #travel channel at irc.gnome.org. Kind regards, -- Germán Póo-Caamaño http://people.gnome.org/~gpoo/
