 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)

 I'd like to have hotel and travel covered. I am checking the cost now and
 supply the info ASAP.

 If possible I'd like to transit Hong Kong for connecting up the open
 source community in GuangDong area (Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, etc).
 I have contacted the HKLUG for giving a talk in one of their meet up in
 May right before the FUDCon. No hotel will be needed for the transit.

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

 No. I am currently a low income person.

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

 N/A

 * 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 the current member of FAmSCo. I am looking for meeting with active
 Fedora ambassadors and communities in APAC region, discuss the production
 and shipping of swags and media, improve the reimbursement process, and
 plan the community expansion in SouthEast and East Asia.

 * 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.

 I will supply this ASAP. I am planning to have the following journey:

 Preference 1 (if transit to HK is possible)
 Brisbane -> Hong Kong (hopefully 15 or 16 May 2012)
 -- meeting with HKLUG, 2 days
 Hong Kong -> Kuala Lumpur (17 or 18 May 2012)
 -- FUDCon
 Kuala Lumpur -> Brisbane (20 May 2012)

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

 No I think. I have entered Malaysia without Visa a few times for 3 weeks
 stay, using my UK or Australia Passport.

 * Include any additional, relevant information.

 My partner will leave Brisbane and go to Malaysia (Johor Bahru, next to
 Singapore) to see her parents on 20 May 2012. However, our time are not
 matching each other. I need to come back to Brisbane by 20 May 2012 just
 to taking care of my pets at home.
