2024/Res41 OSMF Travel Request for Dani to go to SotM LATAM
| The Board has discussed its plans to engage more with regional SOTMs whenever possible, especially when economically/financially feasible.
I, Daniela (Dani) Waltersdorfer, am volunteering myself to attend and present, and represent the OSMF at SOTM LATAM which will be hosted in Belem, Brazil. Travel options to Belem are a bit complicated due to the many layovers, but it is an effort and opportunity we, the OSMF, believe to be grand for it will allow us to engage with the Latin American OSM Community. I want to note that by volunteering this also means that I am taking at least 1.5 days off from work. I am okay with this when considering the benefits of engaging with our community. Costs broken down by different airfare options and hotels are below. Please note that I am including the Economy fares and not "basic economy" so that I can bring my carry-on luggage and our OSMF Banner box. |
