Tell us the following:
* What do you need covered? (Please estimate the costs in USD: hotel $X, travel $Y.)
I need coverage for my flight (Fri - come & Sunday - leave) from Huntsville, Alabama to Kansas City (there is no flight connection to Lawrence). I checked on Hipmunk and it costs $387. I also need coverage for my hotel room for two nights on Friday and Saturday which is $238 based on the wiki. I am willing to share a room with anyone.
* If we cannot provide a full subsidy, will a partial subsidy be helpful? (Yes/No?)
No. I am sorry but I can't afford it.
* If Yes, specify the minimum amount you need covered to facilitate your attendance.
* 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 doing an exchange program in Huntsville, Alabama. I know a lot of project members from the NA team and would like to meet them. It will help to start promote Fedora in the Huntsville area.
I am from Kosovo, I've done activities for Fedora since 2010. I've organized local events, represented Fedora Project in major local events. Helped and participated at FOSDEM in 2011 and FUDCon:Milan in 2011.
* 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.

* Do you need a visa or other official processing before you can attend FUDCon? If so, approximately how long does that processing take?
I don't need any visa but I need an invitation letter to send it to the exchange program officer to approve my attendance. I have to let them know for everything.
* Include any additional, relevant information.
I need transport from Kansas to Lawrence but I read in the wiki that you will organize car pools for everyone.
Thanks a lot, Gent
