Regarding my participation at GWF-2017 and FOSS4G-Asia 2017,
my hotel expenses from 25-29 January and registration fee
for FOSS4G-Asia 2014 amounts to 341USD. This amount has
not be covered by other sources.

I request reimbursement of 341USD from OSGeo Travel budget.
I will send the receipts to Mike if/when this reimbursement is
approved.
