Airfare Bogotá - Medellín (199 US$) for Event

[icarito]

Where are you going

The event "Desayuno por la Educación" is hosted by Marina Orth Foundation, one of the first deployments in Colombia. Also it's the first region here to be close to saturation.

# What do you need covered?

Airfare (199USD)

# If you are requesting airfare, include complete flight information such as flight numbers, desired departure and arrival airports, and times. Also let us know if you have specific time restrictions.

I booked reservation for LA3000 flight LAN Airlines departing at 5:45AM from Bogota on Nov 15th. Return would be the same day and Airline in flight LA3019 at 8:15PM.

This will give me enough time to attend the event and the meeting that has been coordinated to discuss the involvement of their deployment in beta testing of the Sugar Network.

# Do you need a visa or other official processing before you can travel?

No, the flight is domestic.

# What will you accomplish by going on this trip?

I expect to engage and involve these experienced deployment with the community led Sugar Network project which aims to provide a feedback and support social network integrated into Sugar.

The ivolvement of the Marina Orth team will directly help to test and polish the solution that is expected to reach the children of Peru in 2013.

This will be an example of international collaboration and will provide a chance to directly connect final users of Colombia and Perú with each other and with the Sugar community.

Flight booking Bogota Medellin

I just learned that the airport is 1 hour away from the event location so I would please request to up the request by 54 USD to cover a taxi ride back and forth.

As per ​http://www.expocamacol.com/interna.php?ids=56&id=65 the taxi fare is 27USD per route.

Sorry, I believe I'm no longer the right person to approve small expense requests.
The board should nominate a real treasurer.

Robert Fadel seems to be our treasurer since February. Can he approve expenses? If so, please reassign the ticket to him.

According to documentation [1] you are still in charge of this role.

Latest that I know was discussed at SLOBs was ​http://meeting.sugarlabs.org/sugar-meeting/meetings/2011-12-02T15:01:02#i_2707342 but I don't know that executive funding approval of 200USD was officially delegated to Robert.

I'm adding Robert Fadel to this bug report but keeping assigned to you.
