 Tell us the following:
* What do you need covered? (Please estimate the costs in USD: hotel $X,
 travel $Y)
According to wiki page: Hotel Villages $80 USD (i can share room), Air
 travel $700 (with possible discount if Taca is available).
* If we cannot provide a full subsidy, will a partial subsidy be helpful?
 (Yes/No)
No :(
* If Yes can you specify the minimum amount you would 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 want to promote the use of standard tools used by Fedora Documentation
 Project in order to:
 ** get more contributors to Documentation and Localization Project;
 ** support the effort steered by Guillermo Gómez to recruit more writers
 of formal documentation from Latin América;
 ** share the experience of learning on Docs Project, and how we can apply
 that to our local communities
    (i'm using Docbook/git & Projects management tools in a local outreach
 effort);
 ** engage more writers to Fedora Latam Magazine, with the fun of workflows
 learned in Documentation Project.
 * I have promoted an initiative to let Fedora contributors share knowledge
 between them and toward users of Fedora,
   based in the idea of Fedora Classroom, but with a more expanded
 experience through the use of Moodle.
   ATM, moodle.proyectofedora.org is a Moodle instance to support this
 idea, but no much advance has been done.
   I want to meet with another contributors interested in this subproject
 in order to advance the planning and
   vision of this initiative.
 }}}
* 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 have not done any queries about specific flights at this moment.
* Do you need a visa or other official processing before you can attend
 FUDCon?  If so, approximately how long does that processing take?
Panamá doesn't requieres Visa for Mexican citizens.
* Include any additional, relevant information.
This would be my first FUDCon, if no funding is available, i'd like to
 support streaming or remote talks efforts.
