According to https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DPL/Reimbursement it seems that he should follow the instructions under the SPI section, can I forward that to him and ask him to follow up with the emails above if he has further questions? > Who will submit a request for the refreshments (up to 100 EUR)? Very likely also Kyle. > I understand you were not able to attend.

Unfortunately I couldn't wiggle out of my expenses, I usually take the cheapest flight tickets that are non-refundable or changeable. I thought that a medical reason might be even sufficient to request some kind of change but it was basically a 'no'. I won't lie, it would help me a lot if I could get re-reimbursed for that but I didn't go to the sprint and because I was recovering I didn't even participate remotely (which was an option), so I didn't expect any kind of re-imbursement and have learned it might be better to pay a little bit extra for a flexible ticket. > Since you mention Kyle and yourself, maybe I should ask whether this sprint > took place at all. It did! And the video team says it went well, Wouter wrote some blog entries about it: * https://grep.be/blog/en/life/debian/debconf_video_fosdem_sprint/Day_one_of_the_pre-FOSDEM_Debconf_Videoteam_sprint/ * https://grep.be/blog/en/life/debian/debconf_video_fosdem_sprint/Day_three_of_the_pre-FOSDEM_Debconf_Videoteam_sprint/ * https://grep.be/blog/en/life/debian/debconf_video_fosdem_sprint/Day_four_of_the_pre-FOSDEM_Debconf_Videoteam_sprint/ thanks, -Jonathan
