 Tell us the following:

 Travel = $350
 Hotel  = not sure (ok with what organizers provides)
 (I need a hotel only for Friday, Saturday and Sunday night.)

 (Yes/No)
 NO

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

 ** First of all I would like to get the opportunity of participating to
 the first (officially 2nd) FUDcon for APAC. By being exposing to the event
 I am looking forward to gain more experiences as this is my first FUDcon,
 meet other contributors (IRC ppl in live) and expand my network.

 ** In APAC region very few experienced FUDcon because its rare in the
 region therefore as a FAm I would like to participate and get the
 experience that can be shared later with other FUDcon organizers. (I can
 remember when we first discussed about FUDcon few had no enough
 experienced ppl to share ideas)

 ** I will be delivering a speech on 'Fedora & APAC' focusing fedora
 contribution from APAC based on case studies.

 ** I am working to make the FUDcon Pune success and also designing the
 FUDcon Tshirt.

 ** I wish the experience which I gain will help me to contribute
 effectively in my groups.
