1.Travel and accommodation for all invited core Mozillians (who live more than 1 hour away from the venue) will be provided by Mozilla.

2. Ground transportation will be provided for core Mozillians who live within 1 hour of the venue (Unfortunately, we will not be able to sponsor lodging for those who live within 1 hour of the Mozilla office in Paris)

Volunteer Travel Sponsorship: Important Information

Our vendor, Wolff, has set up a travel limits based on reasonable costs of travel from each country. The cost of your ticket must be within this limit.
If you would like to choose another ticket based on personal reasons (or want to arrive before Friday, June 14th, and depart after Monday, June 17th) you will be responsible for any cost difference between the two tickets.
Once you have approved your ticket to be booked, you may not change your flight.
When contacted by our travel agency to book your ticket, you must respond within 48 hours or face a change in flight if the cost of your flight increases while they are waiting for your response.
If you require travel insurance to secure your VISA, you will be financially responsible for this cost (unless you are unable)

Your hotel room will be sponsored on Friday (June 14th), Saturday (June 15), and Sunday night (June 16). If you choose to come early or leave late (due to personal reasons), you will be responsible for the cost of and making the reservations for the additional nights.
