= phenomenon =
Me. I hold regular release events. Started a local Fedora group int Bay
Area http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BAMF We only haad one in NA for the
last release? Daddy Shadowman is nice enough to pay for us to have a party
and to meet with other geeks, and we only had one? If others see how easy
it can be to do this, more events can happen, and we can attract the
skilled contribs we want to join our cause.
= reason =
Come up with some formal, possible to implement ideas for promoting the
Fedora Project. Once smart folks hear details about what we do, and our
Foundations, many want to join
= recommendation =
Help create relevant, easy to use tools for Ambadassadors (and others) to
help with promotion of our project. Creating videos, presentations, and
other materials, allowing for customization when possible. This promotion
needs to be done with the type of contributors we desire, we are not just
trying to grow our numbers, we want to attract folks that will fit well.
To do this we need input from our members.
=== Money please ===
$491 - 526 for a 1 stop flight around 7 hours. 1/12-15 + room $45 a night
for room if I can share. I already have one reserved.
I want to help create a few presentations for Ambassadors to be able to
use, and choose the relevant info. Having highlights from FUDcon would
make this easier. Look, I am a bit more on the community side of the
scale- with technical on the other side. But, I'm using that to get
technical folks. We want to get more folks for F18? Fix how messed up
Gnome3 is, and let Unity drive people to us, keep our standards high- and
keep the bar high for contribs to join. My goal is to have at least 3-5
more local Ambassadors by end of Summer.
I understand if I am too late with this application, if I am not approved,
it's cool. I really want to go, and what I learn there will help with the
local Fedoran Community in the Bay Area. This should prove to be a model
that can be tuned for other regions. Having me show up would also help
with a few local Ambassadors application for FUDcon Silicon Valley (let's
raid some of the hacker spaces for BRAINS).
Even if my region is not chosen for 2013, I plan to help with planning.
Inode0 pointed out we need more people to help. Challenge accepted. Can I
help?

Please set the "Component" below to the correct event for your request.
Tell us the following:
* What do you need covered? (Please estimate the costs in USD: hotel $X,
travel $Y)
I was hoping to get around 300 USD to complement my trip from Brazil to
the US. The idea is to have my manager to cover the bulk of the expenses,
so with the aforementioned help it'd be easier for me to go.
* If we cannot provide a full subsidy, will a partial subsidy be helpful?
(Yes/No)
Yes, see above
* If Yes, specify the minimum amount you need covered to facilitate
your attendance.
200 USD
* What will you accomplish by being at FUDCon? (Please be as specific as
possible, since this is the most important factor in granting requests.)
- Presentation about Fedora automated testing
- Hackfest with OpenQA developers, to implement their wishlist for
autotest
* 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.
In case this complimentary subsidy gets accepted, I'll be taking care of
the flight arrangements. In order to reduce costs, since I have friends in
Washington DC the plan is, roughly speaking:
- Flight GRU - IAD
- Shuttle bus to Blacksburg, spend the weekend there for FUDCon
- Shuttle bus to DC
- Flight IAD - GRU
* Do you need a visa or other official processing before you can attend
FUDCon? If so, approximately how long does that processing take?
No, I do have a valid passport and visa.
* Include any additional, relevant information.
No additional info I can think of right now.

Please set the "Component" below to the correct event for your request.
Tell us the following:
I would like to request coverage for shared hotel accommodation. I will
pay for my own travel to/from Blackburg (cost: ~$450-$500). Tentatively,
I'll room with Peter Borsa (asrob). I will also likely be renting a car,
and driving in from Lynchburg or Greensboro, to reduce costs. I might
suggest that we put together a rideshare board for this FUDCon, since
travel is a bit trickier than in previous FUDCons.
Our Insight (stickster, asrob, nirik, pcalarco)_focus this year will be on
a hackathon on Fedora Insight's calendar uses
(https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Insight_use_cases_for_calendar). We aim
to have a Drupal 7 dev environment ready in time for FUDCon Blacksburg,
and will work with teams attending to build out a prototype of their
calendar use cases during the Hackathon, and we'll follow up with them
remotely after FUDCon ends.
I will also try to have a Fedora Weekly News in-person meetup for those
beat writers who are attending. Thanks!

This is my last opportunity to attend a Fudcon in the next 3 years,
because, from July, I'll be on 3 years mandatory military service for 3
years, during this time I won't have much time to contribute to Fedora.
Furthermore, I'm only 17 and I don't have a job, so I won't be able to
attend without funding.
Thanks.

This is mostly a heads up that I would like to participate in FUDCon
Blacksburg. A quick check shows the a return trip from Mumbai + taxi
from Pune to Mumbai and back to be around $1750. I intend to present Ask
Fedora and maybe run a hackfest as well if enough people show interest.
Since Ask Fedora should already be in production launch and in good use,
we will have our assorted set of feature requests and issues to fix. I
will update this ticket with more information as needed.

Component: FUDCon India 2011 | Keywords:

* What do you need covered? (Please estimate the costs in USD: hotel $X,
travel $Y)
I'll need travel and accommodation to be covered. As of 11 Aug 2011, the
flight rate from KL to Mumbai for 2nd November till 9th November is around
USD440 (includes food+15kg luggage+sports equipment, but see below). As
for accommodation, I'm ok with any places which I can sleep in sleeping
bag :-)
Sports equipment -> thinking of bringing along a folding bike, though
wondering whether that'll be a good idea or not, else no.
* If we cannot provide a full subsidy, will a partial subsidy be helpful?
(Yes/No)
* If Yes, specify the minimum amount you need covered to facilitate
your attendance.
Yes, 400USD
* What will you accomplish by being at FUDCon? (Please be as specific as
possible, since this is the most important factor in granting requests.)
- Interact with other APAC contributors and ambassadors I have known since
the past several years but had not have the opportunity to meet them in
real life, and hopefully, figure out more ideas on how to grow Fedora
presence in APAC.
- Experience a FUDCon with the general goal of organizing one in the
future.
- Thinking of giving a talk, but not quite sure what the topic yet as this
will be my first FUDCon and not quite sure what to expect. Gave a number
of talks in several local conferences before but they are mainly beginner
stuff, or Python/Zope related - which I'm not sure whether its relevant
for FUDCon.
- Hacking on GNOME3 extensions and probably some rpms - I wrote the pidgin
integration extension for gnome-shell, and maintains a number of packages.
* 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.
The airline would be AirAsia (www.airasia.com) as thats the cheapest
airline to go to India from Malaysia. Departure would be from Kuala Lumpur
(KUL) and destination is Mumbai (BOM). Departure date would be either 1st
Nov or 3rd Nov (not sure which is better), and return date would be 8th
Nov.
* Do you need a visa or other official processing before you can attend
FUDCon? If so, approximately how long does that processing take?
Yes, as per http://www.indiavisa.com.my/visa_fee.php, it'll cost me around
55USD (i think i'll cover this myself) and will take 2-3 days to process
* Include any additional, relevant information.
