 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.)
 Hotel, whatever is cost efficient for organizers.

 Visa $60

 Travel $1,684 for flight from Rochester, NY to Mumbai, India

 Taxi from Mumbai to Pune w/ other travelers $?

 * 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.

 NA

 * What will you accomplish by being at FUDCon? (Please be as specific as
 possible, since this is the most important factor in granting requests.)
 My main objective for FUDcon is to educate other Fedorans about Fedora
 Badges, specifically how to design and create badge artwork. I have
 submitted a workshop on how to create Fedora Badges, which if I present
 will help to include more of the community in the project. Fedora Badges
 is currently hoping to attract new design mentees, and this would be a
 great chance for me(I am mentoring) to establish a relationship with these
 individuals. I would like to meet potential badge designers, acquaint them
 with the project and set them up to make badges. Attending FUDcon will
 also allow me to connect and interact with other Fedora contributors,
 learn new things and promote Fedoras international community.

 * 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.
 Incoming:
 Flights:
 UA3742, UA936, LX154
 ROC)->IAD->ZRH->BOM
 Arrive 9:40pm

 Departing:
 Flights: UA49, UA4859
 BOM->EWR->ROC
 Depart 11:20pm

 These flight plans are the cheapest I can find for the approximate dates,
 I am flexible with departure and arrival airports and times.

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

 Yes I will need a visa, which I have read can take up to two weeks.
 Information about what visa to obtain, and the best method to apply would
 be helpful.
 I will also be renewing my passport which takes about a month.

 * Include any additional, relevant information.
