#34 Funding request for Bert Desmet
Closed: Fixed None Opened 13 years ago by biertie.

Tell us the following:

  • What do you need covered? (Please estimate the costs in USD: hotel $X, travel $Y)
    only air travel is fine for me, I'll search a non-sponsored room partner
    I'm coming from Brussels, and with British airlines it comes down too €535.18 or 679.250456 US$ on August 25.
  • If we cannot provide a full subsidy, will a partial subsidy be helpful? (Yes/No)
    Yes
  • 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'm planning to give 2 or 3 talks:
    How to live with SELinux
    at the moment, I am giving this presentation all over Europe, but I want to show it to an American audiance too.. here is an abstract:
    Security Enhanced Linux, is disabled in most cases due to fact that most
    people do not take the time to understand how to work with SELinux.
    However security increases, by keeping SELinux on, as all applications
    are segregated therefor even if a intruder were to enter it would only
    affect that application. In RHEL,Fedora most applications are
    predefined in SELinux and can be adjusted, however other applications
    can be added easily with the integrated tools, allowing you to run any
    custom application. The presentation explains what SELinux is, how it
    works, how to implement the predefined policies and how to create custom
    policies.
    My vision on the future of the Fedora project
    My vision about the non technical challenges the Fedora Project encounters (marketing, ambassadors, ...), how we can anticipate on it, what to change, what is good, brain storming, making things happen.

** intro talk about Fedora Linux
installation, and basic configuration, like I did last year, but in one hour in stead of 2 hours

** Syncing with Ryan Rix
get the guidelines settled for the Campus Ambassador project + review the first months that are happening now

I learned something at the ubuntu summit (it was at belgium, so I wanted to see how they work too)
that I want to apply at the conference too.
record all the sessions (if possible with video), but sound is more important.
also integration with irc, to interact with 'of side attendees'

At 9/14/2010 meeting, travel fare only was approved. Paul will buy this ticket and make sure the return trip matches Hiemanshu's itinerary.

This airfare has been purchased. Paul will bounce Bert a copy of the itinerary.

The total cost of this airfare was US $697.79.
