 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)
 Travel = $250
 Hotel = not sure (ok with what organizers provides) (I need a hotel room
 for Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights.)

 * 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.
 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 would like to get the opportunity of participating the FUDcon in APAC
 region.I couldnt make the last FUDcon at Pune unfortunately. By being
 exposing to the event I am looking forward to gain more experiences as
 this is my first FUDcon, meet other contributors (IRC ppl in live) and
 expand my network.

 I am delivering speech ('focusing on Fedora Design and Insight') and
 supporting on some workshops for beginners where the contribution towards
 the Fedora project will be discussed.
