hi<br>
<br>
since somody is against changing the rule after the lgm has taken
place, i retract my proposition.<br>
<br>
we should stick to the pro-rata rule we had until now.<div class="im"><br>
<br>
but i'd like make the process of reimbursement faster: no need to
wait a 20 days for sending in the requests.<br>
end of next week should be enough.<br>
<br>
i can activate the form for the reimbursement this evening.<br></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Hi, </div><div><br></div><div>As I said, I am the one in charge of this.</div><div><br></div><div>End of May will be the deadline to submit a request for reimbursement.</div>
<div><br></div><div>The info will be on the website later today and the form available.</div><div><br></div><div>The rules are simple :</div><div><ol><li>We reimburse within budget limit in percentage of the needs against the money available.</li>
<li>People entitled to a reimbursement are a) developers members of a team present at LGM (it is up to each team to determine who is member and who is not. LGM organisation don’t make assumptions on that) and b) speakers at LGM.</li>
<li>A sponsored person must not be sponsorerd by other means.</li><li>We need all the requested fields to be filled in order to process a reimbursement, and the relevant receipts and proofs of travel.</li></ol><div>Footnote: by past experience, the easiest, quickest and sheapest way is Paypal. This comment is only to let you know. Transfert costs can be lowered and that way we can reimburse more. Less money in the pockets of the banks.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks!</div></div><div><br></div><div>Louis</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">

hi!<br>
<br>
<br>
A practical question regarding this year's LGM:<br>
to whom should we submit our travel expenses?<br>
<br>

</div>
does anybody want to take the task on him / her?<br>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>Hi,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This is my responsibility.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I will put the reimbursement file online later today.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>More below on Ale's proposal. </div>
<blockquote>
<br>
<br>
<br>
i also have a remark. our policy is to reimburse the travel
expenses at the prorata of the money we could collect.<br>
<br>
while in the past we could always reimburse all the people
asking for it, for the first time this year it's likely that
we won't be able to full refund the costs (it all depends on
who will be asking, so we don't know yet for sure; last year
we also thought that the finances were too tight...).<br>
<br>
personally, i'd like to make a change in that policy and first
full reimburse the people that had travel costs which are a
multiple of their monthly income (i think that we only have
one such case), then reimburse those who had costs that
correpsond to a big part of their monthly income (probably 2
or 3 such cases) and finally distribute the rest among the
other people asking for a refund.<br>
<br>
we don't need to ask for income details, we should be able to
guess it ourselves for some people and other can tell (and
have already told) us that it's important for them to get
refundend.<br>
<br>
<br>
so:<br>
<br>
a/ any volonteer?<br>
</blockquote>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Yes, me </div>
<blockquote>
<br>
b/ is the policy proposed ok?<br>
</blockquote>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>While I think there is a great heart and a very good
intention behind that proposal, I would be more encline to
stick with what has always been the rule. Otherwise it opens
the door to arbitrary calls and knowing the situation of one
or a few people doen’t make the exercice more fair as some
people might be in a difficult situation as well and won’t
tell about it.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Let’s first determine what the needs are. Ony then will we
know the height of the percentage of the reimbursements for
each person asking of it. Meanwhile, money is still coming in,
slowly but...</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It is always up to anyone to ask for a reimbursement. We’ll
give until end of this month period to fill the form and then
we’ll know.</div>
