Guideline for Fund Requests/ Reimbursements - EMEA Region
Fedora Contributors can get funding to cover expenses related their work for Fedora. This wiki page should be referred and please make sure the fund requests has been made accordingly. If everything is in order your request will be processed quickly or else it will take days or may be months.
Introduction
The EMEA-specific reimbursement guidelines are related to the change of budget handling within the Fedora community. Each region now has its own budget and can set its own guidelines to handle budget requests within limits given by FAmSCo. The person that coordinates budget-related activities is a treasurer.
Treasurer
The treasurer maintains the transaction records and budget. He/She is responsible for
- maintaining and submitting records to FAmSCo and OSAS.
- ensuring the allocated budget is properly used.
- making sure that approved budget requests get quickly reimbursed.
FAmSCo will appoint a treasurer for a region for time to time.

Travel Subsidies
If you want to represent Fedora in another territory it is possible to ask for travel subsidies to cover the expenses. In such situations, we try our best to cover travel expenses including air fare/fuel/bus fare, accommodation, visa fee (other expenses such as expenses for food will not be considered). Depending on the available budget the request may be approved fully or partially.
- Please make a request at least a month before so that we can save some money on air fare since those figures go high soon.
- Open a ticket at Fedora EMEA trac with a full description, cost breakdown of your travel plan.
- EMEA meetings are held every second Wednesday, please participate for the next meeting and get your request approved.
- Upload receipts (in PDF format please) to the ticket you have opened and wait for reimbursement.
