He has requested a travel advance to cover the costs of his visa application. The advance, including wire fees comes to $US 627.05. This motion is to approve the travel advance. (As additional background, Google will be covering up to $2200 in travel expenses for two representatives to attend the summit. Since our other representative is local to the SF area, the bulk of that money would be available to cover Samson's travel, so the net impact on SL funds will be negligible.</div> <div><br> </div> <div>regards.</div> <div><br> </div> <div>-walter</div> <div><br> <div><br> <div class="gmail_quote">---------- Forwarded message ----------<br> From: <b class="gmail_sendername">Accounting at Software Freedom Conservancy</b> <span dir="ltr"> <<a href="mailto:accounting@sfconservancy.org" target="_blank">accounting@sfconservancy.org</a>></span><br> Date: Thu, Aug 10, 2017 at 4:16 PM<br> Subject: URGENT request for Sugar Labs to approve of US$627.05 advance for Goddy for GSoC Mentor Summit (was: Is Goddy actually requesting $160 ?)<br> To: <a href="mailto:sugar@sfconservancy.org" target="_blank">sugar@sfconservancy.org</a><br> Cc: Martin Michlmayr <<a href="mailto:gsoc@sfconservancy.org" target="_blank">gsoc@sfconservancy.org</a>>, Samson Goddy <<a href="mailto:samsongoddy@gmail.com" target="_blank">samsongoddy@gmail.com</a>><br> <br> <br> Sugar Labs PLC, please urgently page down to the all caps section below.<br> <br> Samson,<br> <br> Samson Goddy wrote at 08:52 (EDT) on Wednesday:<br> > it has been 5 days, i already made request to <a href="mailto:sugar@sfconservancy.org" target="_blank"> sugar@sfconservancy.org</a> for<br> > funding.

I don't know why they haven't replied.<br> <br> SUGAR LABS PLC: By my calculation, Samson is asking for this:<br> <br> FOR TRAVEL TO GET A VISA, AND FOR THE VISA FEES ITSELF, SAMSON GODDY ASKS<br> FOR A CASH ADVANCE OF TRAVEL EXPENSES (TO COME TO GSOC MENTOR SUMMIT<br> 2017). The totals are as follows:<br> <br> If we use western union, N202,350 = $570 (rate set by WU)<br> <br> If we use wire, he's asking for 561+(561*.05)+13+25 = US$627.05 to be wired.<br> wire fees<br> <br> If Sugar Labs PLC replies with approval before Sunday night US/Eastern, we<br> can likely process a payment by wire on Monday.<br> <br> <br> We don't typically use Western Union, and it would be substantial effort for<br> us to do that, so we'd like Sugar to approve the additional wire fees as<br> it will make payment more rapid for Samson and easier for Conservancy.<br> <br> Samson, your request was a bit ramble-y, so if I gleaned the wrong totals<br> above, please correct them.<br> <br> Samson, in preparation for Sugar Labs PLC hopefully approving this request,<br> could you let me know if the wire instructions I used for you before are<br> still correct, and if not, send me new ones?<br> <span class="m_-9101590829733960432m_3303997356895647586gmail-HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br> --<br> Bradley M.
