finally, there was a question on feedback for FOSSi. here is my response to that -
I wish there were some learning resource, for newcomers such as myself particularly. Also, it would be nice if there was some central portal providing access to all FOSSi or FOSSi related projects. There's a pretty active Twitter handle, so that's nice.
no, please not, we are happy to get your feedback, but we highly encourage you to be open from the heart
i wanted to give something between 3 and 4 for repsonsiveness because the fact that @jeremybennett takes time out despite his busy schedule is in itself big deal. he also responds via text message on phone.
sorry, I may be short on time, the whole family is sick :(
@hatimak Do we have a hangout link?
does this work out?
@wallento @jeremybennett thanks a lot for today’s call.
- i have updated my risk register.
- mail to bill will soon be sent out as discussed.
- i have also just spoken to my advisior in college. he confirmed that in case of undergraduates, re-imbursement is granted for a few conference within india. but international conferences is limited to phd students and faculty members. there is some hope because my advisor suggested i speak with the academic dean for my particular case. i will be speaking with the dean on either 7 or 8 july. personally, i am not very hopeful that the dean will be willing to grant funds for the international conference. i say it because i know not of a single case in which international conference funds were granted to undergraduates although i know several who attended such conferences.
- i am afraid that the gsoc stipend will not come in handy because i will be using it to partially pay my college tuition fees.
my intention is to be able to raise funds on my own as far as i can. i know that you guys are working very hard to get sponsorship for FOSSi (i follow twitter), so if i can arrange for funds myself that would only help you guys and that is my objective. i shall get back to you after speaking with my dean.
thanks a lot :)
hi @hatimak, consider the funding secured. We usually have a cap of 1000 Euro, but I am confident we can get you in for that. As you say, it would be awesome if your university provides funding to subsidize, but we can get it covered. Where are you located in India (next airports)?
@hatim I reinforce what @wallento said - between FOSSi and Embecosm we'll make sure you can get to the UK. I hope you can come for the whole week Monday - Monday, so you can join ChipHack. You will almost certainly need a letter of invitation to get a visa which we can organize.
I will take care of getting you one
there are some trips for 908 Euro
20 hours
but there are no flights without two stops
but there are no flights without two stops
you are looking for flights to LHR, right?
@jeremybennett thank you, i understand your point. i shall ping back in this group regarding the letter specifically once i get past formal procedures at college, or in the case any assistance is required earlier
BTW, @wallento a longer layover in DEL will not be an issue. i know of an arrangement that can get me a free admit into one of the lounges at the airport so i can work and could also rest
@wallento Mary Bennett (GitHub user maryEmbecosm) has joined us, and her initial project is to pull together all the materials for ChipHack, including the EDSAC design. Could you add her to this team, so she can join in the discussion. Thanks. We'll also have two summer school students joining next week, but I don't yet know their GitHub user names.
i reached my college this morning. had left pune (my home city) day before yesterday
(yes it takes ~36 hours by train to get to college 😑)
i have mailed my dean regarding ORConf. hopefully he will agree to see me tomorrow so i can explain my position to him. i am guessing he will need a letter some time so i will let @wallento know well before time when it is required
thank you :)
as for the 2 days that have been lost in travel, i will be making up for that time over this weekend
Since ChipHack and ORCONF are in the UK, we'll provide the letter of invitation for you from here, which you will need to get a visa. I suggest we provide that for you immediately, so you don't need to wait.
