Status of GUADEC’s sponsorship requests
Panorama of Iguassu falls
The Travel Committee has received 48 sponsorship requests and we have started to processing them. It will be a bit hard, as you may guess and as you may deduce according the following tables:
5 | Females |
43 | Males |
19 | Speakers (not confirmed yet) |
8 | Google Summer of Code students |
30 | Members of GNOME Foundation |
1 | Applicant declined his request |
Minimum requested: | $ 59,038.- |
Maximum requested: | $ 61,101.- |
Funds available for sponsoships: | $ 30,000.- |
The amount requested should be a bit higher than it is shown in the second table, because we need to get some clarification from some people. However, I am confident we could save at least $ 9,000 if we look for a different lodging than the main one recommended by the organizers.
Sooner than later we should send emails asking for more information (when it were needed). We will do our best.
