 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)

 Total cost: 375 USD for flights + I will need hotel accommodation in KL.


 * 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.)

    * Recruiting more developers for Darkserver
 (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Darkserver ).
    * Fixing the release plan for next major release plan of Darkserver.
    * Meeting with APAC mentors and decide on how to look ahead in
 Ambassador program. As the project became so large, how that affects this
 subproject and future goals specific to countries.
    * I am giving a talk on Darkserver project and also doing python
 workshops.
    * Finding translators for the python book "Python for you and me", it
 is hosted on Fedorahosted and translated through transifex.


 * 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 live in Pune, India. Nearest international airport is Mumbai but cheaper
 flights to KL are available from Chennai only. For international flights I
 searched in airasia.com and for within India I looked into cleartrip.com
