* What do you need covered? (Please estimate the costs in USD: hotel $X,
travel $Y)
Hotel = As provided by FUDCon Beijing organizers, willing to share a room.
Travel = less than $700 (approximate value since the prices are
fluctuating)
Visa Charges = about $70
Total = $770
* If we cannot provide a full subsidy, will a partial subsidy be helpful?
(Yes/No??)
I am afraid, not. However I am willing to pay for an extra day of stay (26
May).
* If Yes, specify the minimum amount you need covered to facilitate your
attendance.
N/A
* 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 am planning to give a talk about Ansible and its usage in Fedora Infra,
hoping to recruit more contributor for the same. From the irc logs, it
seems that this is approved.
I also want to meet the people behind Fedora and community once again. It
would be nice to talk to people in person. I have also proposed a Docker
workshop where I want to give an introduction to Docker and tell users
about how to run it on Fedora. This hasn't been approved yet but this can
be conducted on short notice if there is enough time and interest among
attendees.
Other than this I hope to attend some really great talks and hackfests.
I am a Fedora contributor and Ambassador and I have been a speaker at
FUDCon, Pune and Kuala Lumpur, FOSS.in and GNUnify.
* 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.
This is tentative. I will try to book the most economical and suitable
flight. Following is cheapest according to Kayak at the moment.
Arrival:
Cathay Pacific Mumbai to Beijing, Wednesday 22 May: Flight 684 + Flight
6102
Departure:
Cathay Pacific Beijing to Mumbai, Monday 27 May: Flight 6109 + Flight 699
I tried Air China as well but it has layovers of more than 20 hours which
is certainly not a good situation.
* Do you need a visa or other official processing before you can attend
FUDCon? If so, approximately how long does that processing take?
Yes, I'll need visa and a supporting letter. The average time for
processing is two weeks but applying at least a month before is
recommended.
