And apply all solutions founded in the Fedora 15 version.

#84: Need FUDcon Funding -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: codeblock | Owner: jsmith Type: Funding request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: FUDCon Tempe 2011 | Keywords: -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Tell us the following: * What do you need covered? (Please estimate the costs in USD: hotel $X, travel $Y) Hotel: $338 for two nights at the primary hotel (no group discount available anymore).. seems quite expensive, open to any cheap close alternative. Travel: $280-$300ish. Looks like no matter what, I'll have to switch to another plane half way through, both ways. * If we cannot provide a full subsidy, will a partial subsidy be helpful? (Yes/No) Possibly, though money is very tight, and I don't know if that's going to change by January. * If Yes can you specify the minimum amount you would need covered to facilitate your attendance -- * 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 work with the Infrastructure team near-daily, and really enjoy it. I would love to meet and collaborate with the people that I work with on IRC, and as well as learn more about the future of the Fedora project, talk with other users and developers of the project, and have a fun time hacking on code at the hackfest :) * 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. I'll have to leave from CAK on Friday night (after class). As mentioned above, I'll have to switch to another plane half way through. I don't see a direct flight, in the search results. I'll need to be back to CAK by early monday morning (I'm fine with (and prefer) overnight travel) for class. * Do you need a visa or other official processing before you can attend FUDCon? If so, approximately how long does that processing take? Nope, I'm a US Citizen, born and raised. :) * Include any additional, relevant information. Don't know what else I should say. I'd love if I could be funded/sponsored to the conference, and meet the people I work with daily. Either way, I'd like to thank the Fedora project for considering me :) -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/ticket/84> fudcon-planning <http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon> FUDCon event planning

I'd like to give a talk on usability, since in January I will also finish my internship and I hope to share some of my findings and best practices. I'd also like to give one or more about general design / artwork in Fedora. I'll discuss the details on that with Mo and the rest of the Design Team though. I'll also give me the chance to participate in (design) brainstorms. For instance I heard there will be one about the new Anaconda UX, which I'd like to attend to give some input. Another things is GNOME Shell, I'd like to discuss how the Design Team will deal with that. * 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 the cheapest one I found, with United Airlines: Fr 28-jan-11: Flights 3203+3439: Amsterdam (AMS) 13:20 -> Newark (EWR) 16:05-17:20 -> Phoenix (PHX) 20:49 Tu 01-feb-11: Flights 3731+3318: Phoenix (PHX) 11:05 -> Houston (IAH) 14:40-15:30 -> Amsterdam (AMS) 08:05 I'm fine with other times or dates though. * Do you need a visa or other official processing before you can attend FUDCon? Nope, I checked and I believe that won't be any problem. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/ticket/71> fudcon-planning <http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon> FUDCon event planning

(Please estimate the costs in USD: hotel $X, travel $Y) Not sure - plane fare it looks like on Southwest is about $200 + fees when booked on the web. AA doesn't seem to have any sort of evening flight out to NYC on Monday. Any of EWR, JFK, or LGA would work. Hotel is whatever the hotel ends up being, double occupancy :) * If we cannot provide a full subsidy, will a partial subsidy be helpful? (Yes/No) Of course :) * What will you accomplish by being at FUDCon? (Please be as specific as possible, since this is the most important factor in granting requests.) Potential Board meeting as is traditional at FUDCon, as well as Infrastructure hackfest around whatever has come up at that point, and most importantly Infrastructure support for FUDCon Live. Also NA Ambassador items as they come up. * 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. No specific restrictions that I'm aware of at this point. * Do you need a visa or other official processing before you can attend FUDCon? If so, approximately how long does that processing take? No requirements for a US citizen to travel in the US, I hope :). Dunno about those crazy AZ folks though :) * Include any additional, relevant information.
