Re: Travel assistance for GUADEC 2019

2019-07-18 Thread Umang Jain via foundation-list
Hello all,

I hope everyone who applied for travel assistance before the deadline have
got a response
from the travel committee.

 I am writing this on behalf of the travel committee. I request you to
notify the travel committee
(as soon as possible) * if * you are faced with some unforeseen
circumstances and hence, are not able
to attend GUADEC because of it. This will help the travel committee to
re-allocate your sponsorship
to someone else in need, who was probably declined (yes, we had to decline
some credible applications
this year because of the current budget constraints).

Thank you.
