Closed: Invalid None Opened 12 years ago by udinnet.

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 the airfare and hotel charges covered.
I've attached a snapshot of the current air ticket charges for Colombo(CMB) on 17th --> Kuala Lumpur(KUL) on 17th --> Colombo(CMB) on 21th from the [https://www.airasia.com] web site. Both up and down ticket prices are in the promo category. According to that selection, it cost about $139.15 for the round trip.

I would like to share my room with another attendee. I'll update the person as soon as possible.
As stated in the wiki page, It'll be around $61.14 for a 2 person room from Hotel Sri Petaling.

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

No. I'm still an University student. So I'm not getting big amount of income.

  • 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.)

As an Ambassador for Sri Lanka in fedora project, I'd like to meet the Fedora ambassadors and all other contributors specially from APAC region to discuss about improving the contributor joining processes, Training the newbie contributors, Managing the creation and spreading process of media, swags and few other plans about upcoming events.

  • 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.

This is the selection I've made from [https://www.airasia.com]

From Colombo(CMB) to Kuala Lumpur(KUL) Flight # AK 1268 on 17th May 2012[[BR]]
From Kuala Lumpur(KUL) to Colombo(CMB) Flight # AK 1267 on 21th May 2012

The reason that I took 17th and 21st is that the flight time of 18th and 20th are not fitting in to the event time. Please mention if there is any other good alternative.
for more info. please refer the attachment.

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

According to this document [http://www.slhc.com.my/consular.html#iov],
I think there is no need of visa for a visit less than 30 days.

  • Include any additional, relevant information.

Updates-->

  • What do you need covered? (Please estimate the costs in USD: hotel $X, travel $Y)
    Above mentioned airfares can be changed because of the other bookings and time range changes. Also promo bookings are available for limited time period and I'm not sure it'll be there when these ticket gets the approval. So this will be the edited request,

Travel: $250
Accommodation: Not sure about the hotel, I'll accept the solution what organising committee provides. I'll be needing a hotel room for 17th Thursday, 18th Friday, 19th Saturday and 20th Sunday nights.
Roughly that'll be around $200

  • 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'll be delivering a speech about [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:KualaLumpur_2012#Talks Linux security best practices with Fedora]

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

Mistakenly I posted wrong data and links on this section of the above ticket.
In correct situation, We, Sri Lankan people need visa to visit MY. So I need visa. I need a letter from the organizers to apply for visa.
Processing time will be around 3-5 days.

There will be a "Funding Approval Meeting" on Friday March 23rd, 2012 at 14:00 UTC (#fudcon-planning). Please, do attend the meeting as we might have some questions for you before approving your funding.

Hi,
Sent the 'home address' and 'phone number' to start ticket purchasing process. Harish will be purchasing the tickets for me.

Thanks.

This ticket is being closed because the FUDCon event to which it applies already happened. If this is an error, please accept my apologies, and feel free to reopen the ticket.
