#12: Funding request for Igor Soares -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: igor | Owner: somebody Type: Funding request | Status: new Priority: blocker | Milestone: Tempe 2011: Travel subisides complete Component: FUDCon Tempe 2011 | Keywords: -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- * What do you need covered? (Please estimate the costs in USD.) * Air ticket from Belo Horizonte, Brazil to Phoenix (Round-Trip). Cost: ~$1,570.00 from Continental Airlines. * Lodging.
* Will a partial subsidy be helpful? (Yes/No) * No. I am a college student therefore I will need full subsidy, but I can afford my daily expenses such as taxi and meals.
* What will you accomplish by being at FUDCon? (Please be as specific as possible.) * I intend to participate specially for learning how a FUDCon in NA is held and organized. I intend to use this experience to help organizing the next FUDCon in LATAM. I want to learn how barcamps and hackfests are organized. I have been working on internationalization and localization quality assurance so it will be a great opportunity to get together with other folks and create value for Fedora. I intend to run an i18n/l10n testing hackfest in order to experience how it happens in the NA context. I attended to both FUDCons in LATAM and I will be able to exchange positive and negative experiences with other attendees and organizers.
* If your request is for an airfare, please include complete flight information -- either flight numbers, or desired departure and arrival locations, dates, and times. * This can be quite flexible for me.
