 Please set the "Component" below to the correct event for your request.

 Tell us the following:

  * What do you need covered? (Please estimate the costs in USD: hotel $X,
 travel $Y)
 I need round-trip flight ticket from PRN - VIE - MIL/MXP around 330$ Which
 can be booked in Orbitz.net and 4 nights for an Economy Room for 207 EUR
 at Hotel Perugino recommended on the wiki as the cheapest and nearest
 hotel from the venue.

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

 No, I unfortunately can't afford to pay for the flight ticket and hotel.

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

 I've joined Fedora Project officially in October, 2010 as Fedora
 Ambassador, my focus currently as an young Free Software activist is
 promotion, due to that I've organized more than 3 successful release
 parties so far as an ambassador. I've done most of the work before (such
 as media self-production and swag printing) and after (event reporting). I
 know that this is nothing compared to what other contributors have done,
 so that's the reason why I want to participate in Fedora-organized event
 to get inspired by experienced contributors in same time learn by them on
 how to push forward Fedora by listening to talks which will be presented
 there. I am not currently capable to present any topic but surely will
 join discussions and share my ideas for a better future. My first event
 being sponsored was FOSDEM 2011 and I think I deserve in one way or
 another to get sponsored for the trip based on my soever contribution I
 made online and offline.

  * 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.

 The cheapest round-trip flight I saw online was with Austrian from PRN -
 VIE - MXP (Thu 29-Sep-11) and MXP - VIE - PRN (Mon 3-Oct-11) The depart
 flight number from PRN to VIE is: 778 at 12:45 pm - 2:30 pm, VIE to MXP
 is: 513 at 3:20 pm - 4:50 pm. Comeback flight number from MXP to VIE is:
 514 at 5:40 pm - 7:15 pm, VIE to PRN is: 769 at 8:20 pm - 10:05 pm.

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

 I live in Prishtina, Kosovo and I need a visa to go in Milan, Italy.
 Usually the procedure for short stay visit doesn't take long (4-5 more or
 less) but I have to apply 30 days before the trip. I will need original
 invitation paper to attach together with other documents needed for
 application.

  * Include any additional, relevant information.

 I am under 18, exactly 16 years old born in 22th of October, 1994. My
 parents will allow me to come in Milan.
