 Tell us the following:

  * What do you need covered? (Please estimate the costs in USD: hotel $X,
 travel $Y)

 Hotel + Plane tickets. I welcome room sharing and I can take care of my
 others expenses.

 For hotel, I plan on arriving January 28 and leave on February 1.

 Plane ticket should be at around 750$ with Delta Airlines for the round
 trip (Departure from Quebec, YQB).

  * If we cannot provide a full subsidy, will a partial subsidy be helpful?
 (Yes/No)

 Yes, of course!

  * What will you accomplish by being at FUDCon? (Please be as specific as
 possible, since this is the most important factor in granting requests.)

 After attending my first FUDCon last year in Toronto, it's easier to see
 how this sort of event flow now.

 One thing that I would like to organize at the FUDCon is to do a cleanup
 of the Review Requests that are in Bugzilla. Many good packages are there
 and just wait for a review. I think that it could be extended to an IRC
 effort too at the same time, so, people unable to attend could help too.

 I plan on meeting other Fedora Ambassadors to see how we can speed the
 grow of the Fedora Project in Quebec and Canada. We have already completed
 many steps on this but some remains. Meeting with other Ambassadors (and
 some from other regions than USA) will be really helpful.

 I also plan on working with others on packaging efforts that will be
 present at the FUDCon.

 Apart from that, I plan to have fun meeting people that share the same
 goal as me!


  * If you are requesting airfare, include complete flight information such
 as flight numbers, desired departure and arrival airports, and times. Also
 let us know if you have specific time restrictions.

 I plan to leave from YQB on January 28 to PHX and make the trip back on
 February 1. I have no special needs and I don't mind the departure/arrival
 time.

 Many flights leave from Quebec for this date so I will choose the less
 expensive one when I book the final travel details.

  * Do you need a visa or other official processing before you can attend
 FUDCon?  If so, approximately how long does that processing take?

 No, everything is fine here.

  * Include any additional, relevant information.

 Thanks for considering my application.
