travel $Y)
$ 1,400.00 for the trip from El Salvador to Venezuela and back to El
Salvador
$ 400 for the hotel, but I accept suggestions for minor expenses, and
since I never visited the country of Venezuela and will be a nice
experience if allowed.
* If we cannot provide a full subsidy, will a partial subsidy be helpful?
(Yes/No?)
No
* If Yes, specify the minimum amount you need covered to facilitate 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.)
The main thing is to know and learn from all those present at the event,
to encourage it in my country, since it is so polarized and technological
development is very little, my purpose for going to FUDCon not only learn
but also show some of the following electronic project running on the
Fedora distribution Split
Hand Robot Arm and wireless connected to the Web with Hardware and Free
Software
3D glasses with Hardware and Free Software
Projector Touch with Hardware and Free Software
