Let the Fedora community pay bills for you! The process below is here to make it simpler to get paid / reimbursed for Fedora related expenses*.
What can the cards be used for?
Assuming that the expense has been approved, the cards can be used for:
- Purchasing materials needed for Fedora from trusted online sellers.
- Linking the card to PayPal for reimbursing Fedora expenses.
- Vendors for swag, media, etc. who accept credit card payments.
- Sponsorship of booths/events that accept credit card payments.
- Paying for hotel accomodations.
- Paying for travel tickets (air, train, etc.)
- Meals
- Shipping
- etc.
What the cards cannot be used for!
Expenses for specific events are not covered within the purview of the credit card holders. These events are:
- FUDCon
- Fedora Activity Days
- Any other event in which Fedora / Red Hat sponsors. The determination of such an event will be given and a reimbursement / payment process will be defined.
Approval of expenses
There are several parts of Fedora that can approve and reimburse expenses:
- All requests should be documented clearly for transparency
- Each request must be submitted prior to any event or activity where reimbursement/payment may be expected
- Approval is based upon estimates. Payment amounts may differ from the approved amount
- The recommended way is to file tickets is via the appropriate Trac ticket tracker
Where the request goes is based upon the requested amount:
- $0-499 USD
- The request requires approval from at least one of the following groups:
- FAmSCo member
- Credit Card Holder or a person approved by the credit card holder
- The application must be submitted to a FAmSCo member, CC Holder or approved person (hereafter named 'approver').
- If the actual amount is greater than the estimate by more than $100 USD, the approver will use their best judgment to either reimburse the overage, or ask for a review from the appropriate regional community (APAC, EMEA, LATAM, or NA).
- $500-1999 USD
- The request requires approval from the appropriate regional community (APAC, EMEA, LATAM, or NA)
- It is strongly recommended that the committee which approves these funds be made up of at least five (5) individuals
- $2000+ USD requires approval from the following group:
