    * No.

  * 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 met Pierros Papadeas first time in FOSS Asia 2010 in Vietnam last
 year. Although I have been a Fedora Ambassador for a few years, his active
 work convinced me to involve deeper in and contribute more and more to
 Fedora Project. Pierros himself introduced to me a new friend, Christoph
 Wickert. Christoph then sponsored me to be a Fedora package maintainer.
 And finally, my first Fedora package, ibus-unikey, a keyboard input for
 Vietnamese, has been out. After a long time working with Fedora
 Ambassadors EMEA friends (Pierros, Christoph, etc.), I would like to meet
 them in face-to-face.
    * On aprroval, this is also my first FUDCon since there is no FUDCon in
 my area (APAC) up to now. I can take this opportunity to learn more from
 Fedora fellows and bring those great experience back to make Fedora
 activities in my country (Vietnam) as well as APAC better.
    * Also, I can share our work and experience (building the FOSS
 community, organizing FOSS events, etc.) to Fedora friends in EMEA and all
 over the world.

  * 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.
