#377: Funding request for GENT THACI -------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: gent | Owner: ianweller Type: Funding | Status: new request | Milestone: Security FAD: Travel Purchase Priority: normal | Requests Component: FUDCon | Keywords: Lawrence 2013 | Blocking: Blocked By: | -------------------------+------------------------------------------------- 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.)
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

Comment (by gent):
I am in high school here in Huntsville, Huntsville also has an Hackerspace, theres a Linux User Group here, and Digium is based here too.
I would like to learn from experiences the Ambassadors had in NA and would like to use to promote Fedora Project in Huntsville. Hopefully recruit new members, and install Fedora in people computers. Present at the local hackerspace etc.
