Priority: normal | Milestone:
Component: FUDCon Blacksburg 2012 | Keywords:
------------------------------------+---------------------------------------
Please set the "Component" below to the correct event for your request.
Tell us the following:
* Costs: Flight: 800 USD (or 570 EUR if booked in Germany), Hotel 189 USD
(4 nights, sharing a room with 2 persons, incl. taxes)
* Partial subsidy is fine too, say flight only or at least 50% of total
costs
* My FUDCon Agenda: I have lots of things on my mind, e.g. (listed by
priority)
* Rethinking Fedora structure, especially the money part.
* Ambassadors, FAmSCo, election rules, standard operating procedures,
* Xfce 4.10 feature for F17 (with nirik)
* LXDE and Xfce on ARM and the XO (with pbrobinson)
* Kolab in Fedora (with kanarip)
* Improving QA (with adamw and others)
* Flight info: Anything from Düsseldorf (DUS) to Roanoke (ROA) should be
ok. I'd like to stay a little longer than just for FUDCon, say from 9th -
16th or 12th - 19th. Need to figure out the details.
* Visa: Nope, just ESTA, online and instantly.
* Additional, relevant information: I'll bring my hotdog costume!

Hi,
I was advised to file a ticket for my funding ticket.
I am unable to find the "FUDCon India 2011" component, so I picked the
closest option I can find.
* What do you need covered? (Please estimate the costs in USD: hotel $X,
travel $Y)
Air travel: ~USD$700 from Singapore to Mumbai (two way).
Other travel: from Mumbai to Pune, and back, not sure yet.
Hotel/lodging: Still finding, not sure yet
Will need help from the organisers.
* If we cannot provide a full subsidy, will a partial subsidy be helpful?
(Yes/No)
No.
* What will you accomplish by being at FUDCon? (Please be as specific as
possible, since this is the most important factor in granting requests.)
1) I would like to give two presentations.
a) On open source security:- How the Red Hat Security Response
Team deals with security issues affecting Fedora and upstream open source
projects. Fedora users will have a better awareness and appreciation of
how we deal security issues in the upstream, and learn how they can source
for information they need to ensure they have installed updated packages
that addressed security issues.
b) on SystemTap:- Explain what SystemTap is, given an overview of
SystemTap and the scripting language, provide a technology update, and
showcase interesting kernel/user-space scripts.
2) Talk to people at FUDCon, find out how we can improve our involvement
in the Fedora security team, gather feedback for the perftools team, etc.
3) Attend the FUDCon, interact with contributors and colleagues in Pune I
have worked with for the past 5+ years but had not have the opportunity to
meet them in real life.
4) Meet my ex-Fedora GSoC mentee. I supervised a GSoC project under the
Fedora Project organisation. She works for us now, but I haven't had the
chance to meet her in real life, too :)
* Do you need a visa or other official processing before you can attend
FUDCon? If so, approximately how long does that processing take?
Yes. According to this website, http://www.india-visa.com/singapore-
info.htm#visa-fees, it's about USD$17 for a transit visa (Upto 15 days
single/double entry). The High Commission requires one working day to
process my VISA application.
* Include any additional, relevant information.
I need to return on Nov 5th night or Nov 6th morning.

I think it would be a great experience to participate this event and I
would be very pleased about your help.
* From a quick look, I don't know if Joerg's estimation of about 1000 USD
sponsoring/funding still is up-to-date.
* A flight with a trustworthy airline to Mumbai (and retoure) is around
850 EUR (~ 1225 USD) at the moment; price might increase if we get closer.
* A direct flight to Pune is unrealistic as it is from +250 EUR up to
+650 EUR on top to the flight costs to Mumbai - and even causes
limitations due to less frequent flights.
* I have no idea about the hotel room/accommodation costs, but Joerg
should have experiences here.
* Joerg and I could also share a hotel room, if that helps somehow (and
if Joerg still can sleep if I snore).
* I have proposed one talk so far, but I'm thinking about adding another
one. I'm also open for suggestions given that I'm active at packaging,
ambassadors and mentoring.
* It would be really a pleasure to me if I can share my experience of the
previously mentioned projects and teams with other Fedora contributors.
* I need to get passport, which should take up to 4-6 weeks according to
the website.
* I also need to get a visa, that should take up to 1-2 weeks according
to the website.
* Did I forget something? Hopefully not, but if so, please let me know
and just ask...
I would be helpful to get a soon reply, similar like at Joerg, because I
have to deal with my employer regarding vacation, flights won't get
cheaper if we wait longer and passport/visa also need time till they're
done.
