Budget Support for Fedora Indonesia

[Alzea Alzea]

Dear Fedora Ambassadors

A few days ago we (Fedora Indonesia) had guests from Germany. Mr.
Mario Behling of LXDE fundation. He called on us to attend and
represent Fedora Indonesia in the event Gnome Asia Summit to be held
in Vietnam in November 2010. Honestly we do not have the funds to
transport and accommodation costs, we are pure free support community
and do not get support funds from any others party. My question, could
we get funding for transport and accommodation from Fedora, to attend
the Gnome Asia Summit in Vietnam? honest we really wanted to attend
the event. as Fedora Indoneisa.

Thanks a lot.

warm regards.

So a couple of things that would help us:

Can you outline the expected costs and what will get accomplished by
us sending you?

If you want to see how this is evaluated you can take a look here:

Getting support should not be a problem at all. On the other hand, we
can not support a huge number of travel requests. So, whether an event
is sponsored or not depends on the merit of it. I really think it
would be nice if we have our representation at Gnome Asia Summit.

What really needed is the planning about what we are going to do
there. Please make up a wiki page, start working with other
collaborators and once you have a rough draft, we can talk about
travel and other stuffs.

[Alzea Alzea]

We are very pleased to hear of the possibility of funding from fedora.
For details we still do not know for sure, but as we know it, we will
update details soon. Only 2-3 people just to represent Fedora
Indonesia.

I will immediately implement suggestions from you, as soon as
possible. Later we (Fedora Indonesia) will talk about plans, about the
activities there and the funds we need.

Any suggestions are welcome. because we follow the first time
something like this and we need your help.

Thanks a lot.

@Truong Anh
I have heard will be held again on 12-14 November in Ho Chi Minh City
Vietnam. I'm sure Mr. Mario Behling
(http://www.perspektive89.com/blog/mario_behling) explained that way.

tomorrow I'll try ask again about the clarity ... but I'm glad to hear
the possibility of providing financial support for the Fedora
Indonesia.

Thanks a lot

@Sumsit Shannigrahi

I talked to him a few times when he came to Vietnam for Gnome Asia 2009 but I don't know the event would be back in Vietnam again.
Welcome to Vietnam.

Kind regards,

I am Fedora Ambassador in Vietnam.

I think you may have a mistake here.
Gnome Asia Summit should be held in 2009 in Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam: http://2009.gnome.asia/

I was planning to attend that as Fedora Ambassador and HanoiLUG member but at the last time, I had to postpone my schedule because of a critical business case.

Are you sure that event will be back to Vietnam this year?
Could you please share some more information with us.

Kind regards, 
Tuan
