If you want to represent Fedora at an event or hackfest outside your local area, it is possible to ask for travel subsidies to cover the expenses. In such situations, we try our best to cover travel expenses including air fare/fuel/bus fare, boarding/hotel accommodation, etc. Depending on the available budget the request may be approved fully or partially.
