 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)
    Travel $210, Hotel $40

  * If we cannot provide a full subsidy, will a partial subsidy be helpful?
    Yes

 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 a Fedora contributor ( ambassador, packager). I am also an
 upstream contributor to the Transifex project. Currently I am working as
 an intern at Indifex on the Transifex project. I have been working on
 multiple things for Transifex : bug fixing, testing, some front-end stuff,
 backend, api, etc.

    I will be giving a talk on the Transifex project to make people aware
 how Transifex is playing an important role in software localization and
 internationalization, talk about features of Transifex and how to
 contribute to Transifex.

    I will also be giving a talk on Django testing and code coverage based
 on the experience I gained working for Transifex.

    Not just talks, I am also going to conduct a Hack Fest on Django
 testing with Transifex. Transifex is a very successful open source Django
 product. I think it will be great to have hands on experience on testing a
 real world Django product. We will be writing new test cases, increase
 code coverage and if possible find loopholes in the existing Transifex
 code and fix them.

 as flight numbers, desired departure and arrival airports, and times. Also
