 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.)

 Transport:

 ~520 miles from Dallas to Lawrence.
 That is about two tanks of fuel for my vehicle each way.
 Then another tank while in Lawrence.

 Where one gallon of premium fuel costs 3.50, and the fuel tank is ~19
 gallon capacity, multiplied by 5x fueling.

 (3.50 x 19 x 5) == $332.5


 Hotel:

 Please note that I'll be arriving one day early for Ambassadors activity
 day.

 Check-in: Wednesday, January 16, 2013 (03:00 PM)
 Check-out: Sunday, January 20, 2013 (12:00 PM)

 $119 per night plus taxes and fees.




 HOTEL  == 537.17

 TRAVEL == 332.5

 **total     869.67**


 * If we cannot provide a full subsidy, will a partial subsidy be helpful?
 (Yes/No?)

 YES


 * If Yes, specify the minimum amount you need covered to facilitate your
 attendance.

 $500

 * What will you accomplish by being at FUDCon? (Please be as specific as
 possible, since this is the most important factor in granting requests.)

 As NA Ambassador we plan to get work done ahead of FUDcon in our yearly
 FAD.
 We are going to be determining what existing events to continue sending
 ambassadors and budgeting, and also what new events we might like to add
 budget.

 We are going to be having a wiki hackathon to get things cleaned up, and
 better organized. Also, and of course, we plan to discuss swag, and all
 the swagy things Ambassadors get involved with. We will be going over the
 budget.

 I'm part of the Fedora-arm team, and for the majority of FudCon I'm
 planning to spe3nd time with the Secondary arches SIG to work on lots of
 things.

 * We are going to be having an Aarch64 hackathon to bring-up 64bit ARM
 computers. * We are going to have a "remixathon" to see who can churn out
 a really compelling ARM spin.
 * Planning the build system migration to PHX using the Calxeda servers.
 * Planning the final release before the big push and promotion to of ARM
 to PA.


 * 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.

 n/a

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

 n/a

 * Include any additional, relevant information.

 If anybody is in the DFW area, I'd be happy to give them a ride, or be a
 passenger myself to further reduce costs.
