 your attendance.
  Ans:

    - Travel (USD 140)

  * What will you accomplish by being at FUDCon? (Please be as specific as
 possible, since this is the most important factor in granting requests.)
  Ans:
    There are a couple of things I'd like to work on:
    - make a working plugin/module for easy window resizing for multiple
 window view.
    - kick-off something for development of a project which I call
 MyFedora, which will be something like this -> http://susestudio.com/

  * 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.
  Ans:
    - I am requesting airfaire.

    - From New Delhi to Pune
    - - Airlines: Indigo
    - - Flight Number: 6E-137
    - - Date & Time of Departure: 3 November, 19:30 hrs

    - There are time restrictions as I am a student and I have some
 restrictions with college and my academics. Wouldn't want to miss many
 classes. Please consider the request.

  * Do you need a visa or other official processing before you can attend
 FUDCon?  If so, approximately how long does that processing take?
  Ans:
    Yes

  * Include any additional, relevant information.
  Ans:
    - I have been a Fedora user for a very long time.
    - But, I have never been a Fedora contributor, which I always wanted to
 be. Therefore, I'd like to come to FUDCon, see how contributors work and
 discuss some of my ideas.
    - I am Google Summer of Code 2011 student, working with Drupal -
 http://groups.drupal.org/node/145579.
    - RHCE -

    - This subsidy is very important for me. I am already going to attend
 DrupalCon London in this August. There are a lot of expenses involved in
 attending FUDCon as well. But I really want to be there and be a part of
 the awesome community.
