I would love to visit the Libre Graphics Meeting [1] this year, running from April 10-13. While I have submitted a talk proposal, I won’t know if it has been accepted until the 25th. If it is, LGM will pay for my travel expenses. If it isn’t, I would still like to go, to meet and talk to other FOSS designers (Dave Crossland, who volunteered to help us with Google Web Fonts integration, will be leading a workshop there), thus I would like to ask for travel funding. The flight should cost about 6500 CZK or 256 EUR.
Hi,
FYI: the board has just approved 300 ¤, more in the board minutes that will follow soon.

Hi guys,
It seems that the LGM will reimburse me for my travel expenses after all.
I’m “being welcome” [1], so I have no lodging expenses.
My only expenses are therefore food and transport, which I would appreciate to get partly reimbursed for, but it’s certainly not necessary. I’m just glad to attend the meeting.

Hello Mirek,
It seems that the LGM will reimburse me for my travel expenses after all.
I'm "being welcome" [1], so I have no lodging expenses.
My only expenses are therefore food and transport, which I would
appreciate to get partly reimbursed for, but it's certainly not
necessary. I'm just glad to attend the meeting.
I was looking for the travel refund decision, but couldn't find it. Did you previously ask for a refund and was it approved? If so, when? Probably we missed adding it to the decision database.
I'm asking because we moved to budget-driven spending, and now individual budget holders have to approve refunds, not the board per se.
Florian
Hi,
Right, sorry. I didn't know who the budget holder is.
In any case, my food and transport expenses were lower than I expected,
so no refund necessary.
thanks a lot for attending the meeting on behalf of TDF, much appreciated!
Florian
