 Please set the "Component" below to the correct event for your request.

     Tell us the following:

     * What do you need covered? (Please estimate the costs in USD: hotel
 $X, travel $Y.)

     Ticket and Hotel

     * If we cannot provide a full subsidy, will a partial subsidy be
 helpful? (Yes/No?)

     No :(

     * 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.)

     Talks I would like to propose:

     1. Fedora in the Government (Venezuela and Guatemala case): I'm going
 to explain my experience with Fedora in a government environment, this
 talk is a improvement of http://richzendy.org/docs/SoftwareLibreEnSaime/
 and may be of interest for many people in Peru, this talk is based on
 experience of my work of five years with Fedora in Venezuelan government
 facility that handles the national identification and migration system.

     2. What does OpenSource People life on: this is a basic talk with
 which to start the conferences because most people who are starting to
 free software is like make money or how to live on, this is a inspiring
 talk that clears many doubts about as people see free software and
 collapses myth about the sustainability of free software. you can see my
 slides in => http://richzendy.org/docs/DeQueViveLaGentedelSoftwareLibre/

     Workshops I would like to propose:

     3. how to rpm: this workshop is about how work the  Fedora rpm package
 system and how you can make your owns rpm packages, this workshop is
 oriented to beginners and experienced people, you can see in live how make
 a RPM package.

     You learn:
     * How work the  Fedora rpm package  system and differences with others
 distros
     * How is a RPM
     * How is a spec FILE, SPEC sections
     *  RPM macros
     * Fedora documentation to make RPM
     * How works the fedora infraestructure to build and publish RPM
 packages

     I can make this workshop together other Fedora member. My slides:
 http://richzendy.org/docs/Taller-Empaquetado_de_RPM/RPM_Taller.pdf ( I
 need update this slides)

     4. I have a proposal/brainstorming to make a plugin/program to update
 and install packages for people without internet, this is a serious
 problem for the adoption of Fedora in many developing countries because a
 lot people do not have internet in their houses, but they do have internet
 at their work or school.

     * 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.

      I would go with any hotel or hostel that the crew has chosen; I'm
 perfect sharing a room with tatica, with another male or taking a smaller
 room.

     for flights, there are 2 options, one is not as cheap but longer (that
 would mean more hotel) and a regular one that is shorter. HOWEVER, I can
 make it through Cúcuta on my own and take a Super cheap flight from there
 :D
