This payment has been issued by wire transfer today.<br>
<br>
For clarity: only $202.27 was a cash advance for travel expenses. The<br>
remainder, $695.46, was *not a cash advance*, but rather a payment of a<br>
stipend for mentoring during GSoC 2017.<br>
<br>
Samson, for the $202.27, note that this is an advance of your travel<br>
expenses for GSoC Mentor Summit. Please note that you must follow the<br>
travel policy:<br>
<a href="https://sfconservancy.org/projects/policies/conservancy-travel-policy.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://sfconservancy.org/pro<wbr>jects/policies/conservancy-tra<wbr>vel-policy.html</a><br>
<br>
... including keeping receipts for all expenditures. We need you to do this<br>
so we can count your expenses toward the advance and/or reimburse additional<br>
expenses (if the PLC approves further expenses). Note that such PLC<br>
approval does not overrule the travel policy; both are needed for valid<br>
Project travel.<br>
<br>
Again, please be sure to save receipts. This is essential and a<br>
requirement. We cannot reimburse expenses for which receipts are not<br>
provided.<br>
<br>
I know Karen and Brett, who will be at Mentor Summit, are looking forward to<br>
meeting you. I had a scheduling conflict for Mentor Summit this year so I<br>
unfortunately won't get to meet you.<br>
