(Please estimate the costs in USD: hotel $X, travel $Y) Travel: €525,10 / $732,83, hotel for 4 nights * 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.) Besides the obvious "meeting people", I plan to give two (or more, if there's demand ;-) ) talks. 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.

(Yes/No) Yes * 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'm planning to give 2 or 3 talks: ** How to live with SELinux at the moment, I am giving this presentation all over Europe, but I want to show it to an American audiance too.. here is an abstract: Security Enhanced Linux, is disabled in most cases due to fact that most people do not take the time to understand how to work with SELinux. However security increases, by keeping SELinux on, as all applications are segregated therefor even if a intruder were to enter it would only affect that application. In RHEL,Fedora most applications are predefined in SELinux and can be adjusted, however other applications can be added easily with the integrated tools, allowing you to run any custom application. The presentation explains what SELinux is, how it works, how to implement the predefined policies and how to create custom policies. ** My vision on the future of the Fedora project My vision about the non technical challenges the Fedora Project encounters (marketing, ambassadors, ...), how we can anticipate on it, what to change, what is good, brain storming, making things happen. ** intro talk about Fedora Linux installation, and basic configuration, like I did last year, but in one hour in stead of 2 hours ** Syncing with Ryan Rix get the guidelines settled for the Campus Ambassador project + review the first months that are happening now * If you are requesting airfare, include complete flight information such as flight numbers, desired departure and arrival airports, and times.
