Dear all, KDE e.V. supports multiple events in the KDE community: Akademy, Lakademy, conf.kde.in, Randa, sprints, representation of KDE on other events.
We use this email as an occasion to remind you that any KDE community member may organize a sprint and we do have a budget to support them. If you need more information, email the Board at kde-ev-bo...@kde.org. For more information on the Travel Cost Reimbursement Policy see https://ev.kde.org/rules/reimbursement_policy.php With the high number of requests, handling the reimbursements manually means a significant administrative effort. We've tested and deployed a system that makes it easier for everyone (and thanks to Agustin for suggesting it!): https://reimbursements.kde.org/ The procedure changes slightly, so please take the time to review it before applying. Here's how it works: For event organizers ================ 1. Ask the Board for support for your event as usual. Important: provide the budget you need. 2. When the budget is accepted, it will be created at https://reimbursements.kde.org/ 3. Ask the participants to apply at https://reimbursements.kde.org/ 4. Enter your sprint at sprints.kde.org We'll come with a more detailed checklist for the event organizers in the future. For event participants ================= Before the event: Note that you should first try to get your employer to pay for your trip, find a third party sponsor or consider paying for it from your own funds. If you wouldn't be able to attend the event because of the costs or paying for it yourself would be a great burden for you because you have no or a low income or the costs are especially high, you should request a reimbursement. 1. Apply at https://reimbursements.kde.org/. Log in using your KDE Identity user name and password 2. Go into Events and choose your event, click on "Travel support" 3. Fill in the form. Make sure you request the right amount for each category. The amount accepted, based on what you entered, will be final. You won't get reimbursed more. 4. Submit the form and *confirm* it. 5. Soon your request will be accepted or you will be asked for more information. The notifications are send by email. After the event: 1. Scan or make photos off all the receipts (hotel, transport etc). 2. Log in at the site again and go to "Reimbursements" 3. Fill the form. You can submit multiple files of receipts. 4. Download, print, *sign*, scan and submit the acceptance form from the site. It replaces the old form. 5. Submit and *confirm* the request. 6. You will be notified when your request is accepted and paid. >From now we're handling all reimbursements using this site. If your event is not yet added, or you have any questions or doubts, please mail kde-ev-bo...@kde.org. Marta for the KDE e.V. Board
