(Yes/No) * No. * 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 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. * If you are requesting airfare, include complete flight information such as flight numbers, desired departure and arrival airports, and times.
