* I met Pierros Papadeas first time in FOSS Asia 2010 in Vietnam last
year. Although I have been a Fedora Ambassador for a few years, his active
work convinced me to involve deeper in and contribute more and more to
Fedora Project. Pierros himself introduced to me a new friend, Christoph
Wickert. Christoph then sponsored me to be a Fedora package maintainer.
And finally, my first Fedora package, ibus-unikey, a keyboard input for
Vietnamese, has been out. After a long time working with Fedora
Ambassadors EMEA friends (Pierros, Christoph, etc.), I would like to meet
them in face-to-face.
* On aprroval, this is also my first FUDCon since there is no FUDCon in
my area (APAC) up to now. I can take this opportunity to learn more from
Fedora fellows and bring those great experience back to make Fedora
activities in my country (Vietnam) as well as APAC better.
* Also, I can share our work and experience (building the FOSS
community, organizing FOSS events, etc.) to Fedora friends in EMEA and all
over the world.

as flight numbers, desired departure and arrival airports, and times. Also
