Tell us the following:
* As of now, hotel is needed (~$270). I may be able to ride with someone
from Raleigh
* If we cannot provide a full subsidy, will a partial subsidy be helpful?
Yes
* A minimum would be $70
* 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 am planning on running a hackfest for AutoQA, and will probably
attend another one depending on timing.
* Learning about Wiki editing from Ian would be a big plus, as this is
not quite my strong suit.

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.

Hi,
during FrOSCon 2011 I did a small talk about Func and how it is being used
at Booking.com, a fast growing hotel website with a four digit number of
servers all running pure open source software. This was a very impromptu
talk as the original speaker had to decline on short notice.
The content however was very well received and people suggested, that I
should flesh this out a bit and maybe repeat this at the India FudCon.
As FrOSCon only was very recently, I apologize for the late sponsorship
request.
My aims for this FudCon would therefore be to
* Promote Func as it is indeed a wonderful tool for controlling more than
one machine
* Host a hacksession on Func.
There are some features (e.g. delegation) which are _very_ rough in Func.
We (at Booking) have a quickly hacked up version of func which actually
fixes many issues we see in a large scale environment with timeouts etc.
Polishing it and submitting/applying it upstream would definitly be worth
it.
Of there is some interest, I am also happy to host a session talking about
Fedora/CentOS/RHEL in a larger scale environment, what challenges/issues
we face, how we solved them, what kind of best practices we found etc.
* What do you need covered? Hotel 200USD, Flight 1300USD seems to be
what's available on the market. Departure airport would be Amsterdam. I
only did a quick search as Jared stressed I should get this ticket in
quickly. Will do a more exhaustive search later.
* If we cannot provide a full subsidy, will a partial subsidy be helpful?
Yes, I'll take whatever I can and then see if it works out.
* What will you accomplish by being at FUDCon? Please see above.
* Do you need a visa or other official processing before you can attend
FUDCon? Visa applications by European citizens seem to be processed in
less than a month.
If you have any further questions, please do not hestitate to ask me
either via mail or on IRC. The nick is ixs.
cheers,
andreas
