Update: the sprint is on!
*Good news*: Facebook is covering the venue, food and hotel costs. This is confirmed. I'm working on getting a PSF grant for flights like last year.
*Please book your* *airplane tickets* as soon as possible. Like last year, we can reimburse up to *$500* for domestic roundtrip flights and up to *$1500* for international roundtrip flights. If that’s not enough to get you to California and back, let me know and we’ll figure something out. Send me the receipts my way, you should get your money back before the event, preferably as soon as I get the grant wired. For sums smaller than $500, provide me with a PayPal e-mail. For larger ones, I will need your details to set up a wire transfer. I will use TransferWise for the latter to cut down the wire costs. * I recommend flying in on Sunday and flying out on Saturday.*
*Please DO NOT book hotels*, Facebook is covering this, preferably in the same hotel as close to Facebook HQ as possible. NOTE: I cannot confirm your hotel room until I have your flight information.
Hi Łukasz,
do you have any news on the hotel?
Several attendees including me use ESTA to travel into the US. We are required to provide Advanced Passenger Information (API) a couple of days up front. API also include the location of the first accommodation. As far as I remember, I have to provide the name and address of the hotel by the end of the week.
