== Reimbursement guidelines ==
 
'''Every expense against the FAmSCo budget must have a receipt, and it is the responsibility of the person who pays the bill to collect the receipt and submit itNo receipt means no reimbursement.  This is non-negotiable, sorry!'''
 
=== Paying for things yourself ===
 
In order to make use of the FAmSCo budget, your expense must generally take one of the following forms:
 
# It is paid for by you, and you are able to be reimbursed via PayPal, which is ''strongly preferred''.
# It is paid for by you, and you are able to be reimbursed via cash (which means you probably will have to wait until the next time you are in the same location as Max).  This option is least preferred.
 
We are using [https://fedorahosted.org/famsco/newticket trac's ticketing system] to track FAmSCo reimbursement requests.  It has the "private ticket plugin" enabled, so that only the ticket creator and FAmSCo members may see the tickets.
 
''Your ticket should include as attachments any receipts, documentation, or other information that is needed.  Feel free to encrypt anything you like with [[MaxSpevack|Max's]] gpg key.''
 
=== Having Red Hat pay for you ===
 
Additionally, you can avoid being a middle-man by having certain other people pay the bills directly.  ''This is recommended, whenever possible!''
 
* [[MaxSpevack|Max]], [[KarstenWade|Karsten]], [[GregDeKoenigsberg|Greg]], or [[JackAboutboul|Jack]] can pay with their Red Hat credit card, and their expense reports will go to the Community Architecture budget.
* In India, [[SankarshanMukhopadhyay|Sankarshan]] is your point of contact, and he in turn bills the expense to the Community Architecture budget.
* In APJ, [[HarishPillay|Harish]] is your point of contact, and he in turn bills the expense to the Community Architecture budget.
* '''Starting in February 2009''' in LATAM, [[RodrigoPadula|Rodrigo]] is your point of contact, and he in turn bills the expense to the proper Red Hat budget (either LATAM Marketing or Community Architecture).
* In EMEA, the expense can be paid for directly by Fedora EMEA e.V. with the budget that they are given by Community Architecture.  This will eventually allow for bank transfers or direct payment with a debit card for expenses in Europe.
 
== FY09 Q4 (December 2008 - February 2009) Budget ==
 
''In Q4, we have the following [[CommunityArchitecture/Expenses|sources of budget]] available:''
* ''Fedora 10 marketing -- $15,000 USD''
* ''Global events & swag -- $16,000 USD''
* ''Fedora in India -- $9,000 USD''
* ''TOTAL: $40,000 USD''
 
Currently, it is allocated as such:
 
'''NA:'''
* $7,000 USD -- for breakdown see [[Ambassadors/NA/Budget]]
* $1,500 USD -- approximate cost of stickers that will mostly be used in NA.
 
'''LATAM:'''
* $3,000 USD
 
'''EMEA:'''
* Fedora-fr -- $5,000 USD
* Fedora EMEA e.V. -- $5,000 USD
 
'''APAC:''' $3,000 USD
 
'''India:''' $9,000 USD
 
'''Max's safety net:''' $6,500 USD
* $2,500 of this is already tentatively spoken for.
