Visa fee and other cost will be born by me, therefore I am looking for a full subsidy for air fare and hotel cost.

Air Fare = USD 900 , Hotel Cost = USD 450 Total = 1350
* What will you accomplish by being at FUDCon? (Please be as specific as possible, since this is the most important factor in granting requests.)
The idea behind the participation as follow. I would like to experience a FUDcon out of my region, APAC. Then I would like to meet Fedora contributors from EMEA physically. Further if required I would like to have some introduction sessions on Fedora and FOSS for beginners if there are any.

Arrival on Friday, Departure on Monday. Colombo > Dubai > Paris

I need visa around 2 weeks.
