As per the new <a href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Finance">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Finance</a>
I'm asking for Sugar Labs to sponsor my airfare to Montevideo<br>
Sugar Summit EduJAM <a
href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Uruguay_Summit_2011">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Uruguay_Summit_2011</a>.<br>
<br>
Here's the description that can also be found at the ticket I
created <a href="http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/2792">http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/2792</a><br>
Thanks to SLOBs and the community for considering this request.<br>

<p><strong>Where are you going (location and event)?</strong><br>
</p>
<p>This is the Uruguay Sugar Summit EduJAM in Montevideo,
Uruguay.<br>
I will also attend the Sugar coding sprint right after the
event.<br>

<p><strong>What do you need covered? (Please estimate the costs
in USD: hotel $X, travel $Y)</strong><br>
</p>
<p>I am asking for the cost of the airfare. This is $1100.00
USD.<br>
</p>
<p><strong>If we cannot provide a full subsidy, will a partial
subsidy be helpful? (Yes/No)</strong><br>
</p>
<p>Yes<br>
</p>
<p>I'm funding the rest of the costs of being in Montevideo, so
I can't cover much more. With 1000 I'd be able to make it. I'd
be departing from Bogota on the 4th of May and returning on
the 10th. There are several options for flights.<br>
</p>
<p><strong>Do you need a visa or other official processing
before you can travel? If so, approximately how long does
that processing take?</strong><br>
</p>
<p>No visa needed.<br>
</p>
<p><strong>What will you accomplish by going on this trip?</strong><br>
</p>
<p>Community<br>
</p>
<p>I have been working with the Local Lab in Colombia and Peru
in a project to develop a joint Services Portfolio. I expect
to meet up with CeibalJAM, people from Local Labs Chile,
Argentina and other regional members of the community to
consolidate this effort as well as establish a joint strategy
for Local Labs. Certification programme is also a part of this
portfolio.<br>
</p>
<p>Also with my presence, we will have 6 out of 7 members of the
board in the same place which I think is of strategic
importance to Sugar Labs.<br>
</p>
<p>Software<br>
</p>
<p>I am also an activities developer and will work with other
members of the community in this area during the sprint
sessions. We have several activities contributed by Ceibal JAM
and I'd like to work on some HIG recommendations for improving
usability.</p>
