If you are willing to give a talk at XDC2016 and require travel 

sponsorship, please send an email to board at foundation.x.org (CC: martin.peres at free.fr) with an estimate of the travel + accommodation cost and the abstract of your talk. Please send your applications as soon as possible.

Basic info:
* an extremely short description of what you work on (X11/Mesa/Wayland/graphic driver-related projects),
* where you live, and the nearest airport(s),
* how much it would cost to get to the Helsinki Airport (HEL) (please check around a
few airlines/websites/etc) -- don't worry about accommodations as they'll sort that out.
I'll review a sponsored bus tour to:

    * Central Railway Station
    * National Museum, Parliament House and Helsinki Music Centre
    * Helsinki Olympic Stadium and Tower
    * Sibelius monument
    * Temppeliaukio Church
