## Detailed description of your contribution to this year's UbuCon Asia
As part of the UbuCon Asia organizing committee, I am looking over venues, catering services, hotels for stay, reaching out to local community partners and managing volunteers.

## What are your contributions to the Ubuntu project or Ubuntu Community?
I have worked on the website of UbuCon Aisa and reached our community partners for PR so far. I am currently working with volunteers to increase reach and spread awareness about the event.

## What are your activity plans before, during and after UbuCon Asia?
Before the event, I am planning to increase our reach all across India and Jaipur specifically through posts and in-person meetups. During the event, I will be looking over volunteers and any responsibility given as an organizing committee member. And after the event, I will ensure that we share how big and successful are event was.

## Are there anything you would like to achieve through this year's UbuCon Asia?
With this event I aim to lear as much as possible, get more inclusive to the Ubuntu ecosystem and make some good connections

Hello, sorry for delays with travel grant results
We're still processing your review, and it's almost done.

Your request for covering travel cost (such as flight) will likely to be covered with reimbursement. But since we were not able to raise enough funding this year, We'll be approving lower amount then you've requested.

For accommodation, We'll arrange group booking along with other people requested for travel grant. 2 people will be assigned for same room. The Accommodation will be Hotel Grant Maple. See https://2024.ubucon.asia/venue-and-travel/accommodations/ for details.

Thanks, and hope to see you in Jaipur this late August :)

Hello Srijan, Thank you for waiting for the result with patience.
For transit(flight, train, bus or other), We would like to approve 60 USD.

Accommodation is being secured but not assigned to each person yet. Will let you know when we're assigning guests to rooms.

If you could reply if you can attend with this funding or not, it would be helpful for us to handle our expenses.

Thanks, and see you in Jaipur :)
