Component:  FUDCon Panama 2011  |    Keywords:  subsidy meeting                       
--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------
 - What do you need covered? (Please estimate the costs in USD.)
   - Air ticket from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to Panama (Round-Trip). Cost:
 ~$840 - ~$1060 from Gol, Taca or TAM Airlines.
   - Lodging.

 - Will a partial subsidy be helpful? (Yes/No)
   - Yes. I will need full subsidy but I can afford my daily expenses such
 as taxi/transfer and meals. I can try to buy my airfare using Star
 Alliance points, but I'm not sure if I have points to cover the entire
 trip.

 - What will you accomplish by being at FUDCon? (Please be as specific as
 possible.)
   - I will share my experiences creating/leading the Brazilian an Latam
 communities since 2005 helping the local team to grow and work in the
 right direction to keep the community motivated to help Fedora.
   - As official member of GNOME and Mozilla communities I will try to keep
 the local member informed to how to join and help Fedora through the
 Upstream projects that I'm involved by now.
   - The other important thing is to help and motivate local contributors
 in the approach with the Universities that they are linked to create some
 partnership with my university(Federal University of Rio de Janeiro) and
 to incentive people to create FLOSS Labs to develop researches and
 create/capacitate people in FLOSS.
   - I'm planning to give 2 talks about Upstream projects and I can
 participate in rounded tables and general Fedora discussions/talks.

 - If your request is for an airfare, please include complete flight
 information -- either flight numbers, or desired departure and arrival
 locations, dates, and times.
   - There are a lot of options from TAM, GOL and TACA and the costs are
 around ~$840 - ~$1060
   - My idea is to go to Panamá on 24 May and comeback on 29 May

   Organizers might want to take a look into prices and itineraries from
 Taca Airlines since they will provide a discount for FUDCon that I'm not
 able to confirm/check by now.

 - Include any additional, relevant information.
   No visa required.
