It was requested directly to the DPL on 14/03/2016 and approved by Neil
for a budget up to 3000€. In the above cited line from my bits, I should
have used "budget" instead of "expenses". Initially, the budget was
requested to cover location's cost, travel sponsoring and video equipment
transport. Later, HPE accepted to sponsor the event and organizers asked
me to confirm again that it is okay to keep the approved budget to secure
the event, and use that for travel sponsoring only.
I haven't heard back from organizers yet. So I cannot tell how the budget
has been used exactly though. HPE's sponsoring might have covered the
costs entirely.
Hope this answers your question.
