 rate)
  * If we cannot provide a full subsidy, will a partial subsidy be helpful?
 (Yes)
    * If Yes, specify the minimum amount you need covered to facilitate
 your attendance.

 - As much as possible to assist but it would need to be likely around 2/3
 as its all a bit tight ATM.

  * What will you accomplish by being at FUDCon?

 - Face to face with board
 - Discussions and hackfests with ARM and other Secondary archs
 - Discussions and hackfests with Cloud teams

 Fedora Mobility and various ARM, OLPC, Sugar and other small device
 requirements

  * Do you need a visa or other official processing before you can attend
 FUDCon?  If so, approximately how long does that processing take?

 Its possible OLPC might fund me if they decide to use FUDCon as a major
 meetup for their team as I've been assisting them with ARM bringup on the
