 Tell us the following:
* What do you need covered? (Please estimate the costs in USD: hotel $X,
 travel $Y)
 only air travel is fine for me, I'll search a non-sponsored room partner
 I'm coming from Brussels, and with British airlines it comes down too
 €535.18 or 679.250456 US$ on August 25.
  * If we cannot provide a full subsidy, will a partial subsidy be helpful?
 (Yes/No)
 Yes
  * 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'm planning to give 2 or 3 talks:
  ** How to live with SELinux
 at the moment, I am giving this presentation all over Europe, but I want
 to show it to an American audiance too.. here is an abstract:
         Security Enhanced Linux, is disabled in most cases due to fact
 that most
 people do not take the time to understand how to work with SELinux.
 However security increases, by keeping SELinux on, as all applications
 are segregated therefor even if a intruder were to enter it would only
 affect that application. In RHEL,Fedora most applications are
 predefined in SELinux and can be adjusted, however other applications
 can be added easily with the integrated tools, allowing you to run any
 custom application. The presentation explains what SELinux is, how it
 works, how to implement the predefined policies and how to create custom
 policies.
  ** My vision on the future of the Fedora project
 My vision about the non technical challenges the Fedora Project encounters
 (marketing, ambassadors, ...), how we can anticipate on it, what to
 change, what is good, brain storming, making things happen.
** intro talk about Fedora Linux
 installation, and basic configuration, like I did last year, but in one
 hour in stead of 2 hours
** Syncing with Ryan Rix
  get the guidelines settled for the Campus Ambassador project + review the
 first months that are happening now
* 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.

 London -> Brussels: BA0398 (departure: 15:50 2 Feb // arrival: 18:00 2

  * Do you need a visa or other official processing before you can attend
 FUDCon?  If so, approximately how long does that processing take?
 No reall visa needed, only a registration on an US website that I will
 enter the country some days in advance.
  * Include any additional, relevant information.
