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
