 Tell us the following:
* What do you need covered? (Please estimate the costs in USD: hotel $X,
 travel $Y.)
I would like to have my travel covered and a part of the hotel would be
 nice.
 * travel eDreams on 2012-10-29, from January 16th to January 22nd: ~US$900
 * hotel the wiki pages says US$119/night, if the three nights from the
 FUDCon could be consider that would be nice, so US$357
 * total: US$1257
* If we cannot provide a full subsidy, will a partial subsidy be helpful?
 (Yes/No?)
 Yes
* If Yes, specify the minimum amount you need covered to facilitate your
 attendance.
 I would appreciate to have the travel costs covered.
* 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 have been working with the infrastructure team for 18months now, but I
 have not had the chance to meet most of them. This FUDCon would be an
 occasion to do this for me.
In addition, we need to think as a group the way we want to do our web-
 application development especially wrt framework and imho unit-tests.
I am also involved in setting up jenkins instances on our cloud but there
 is much more we can do with it and I would be quite interesting to discuss
 or even possibly work on this over there.
* 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 found these flights which looks interesting:
 Wed, 16-Jan-13
  11:00 Amsterdam (AMS)
  16:28 Kansas City, MO (MKC)
Tue, 22-Jan-13
  15:51 Kansas City, MO (MKC)
  09:20 (+ 1) Amsterdam (AMS)
Both are with United Airlines
* Do you need a visa or other official processing before you can attend
 FUDCon? If so, approximately how long does that processing take?
 Yes and no, as a european citizen I have to apply at the Electronic System
 for Travel Authorization (ESTA) for the said authorization to stay on US
 ground.
* Include any additional, relevant information.
 None that I foresee.
