-<h2>Travel Assistance Committee (TAC)</h2>
<p>The Travel Assistance committee was reformed in September 2008 with the
goal of providing financial assistance to those who would otherwise be unable
to attend various ApacheCon events.</p>
-<p>Those who are thinking of applying for financial assistance should know
that the Committee has limited finances and that, as a consequence, only a few
places are available for each Apache event. Applicants should have valid
reasons for attending ApacheCon events that are of benefit to both the
applicant and the ASF, and to open source as a whole.</p>
-<p>Note, read this entire page BEFORE applying for assistance.</p>

+<p>The Committee judges applications on merit, based on details each applicant
provides on their application form.
+The application form captures the information the Committee requires to be
able to make such a judgment.
+Bear in mind that, due to the Committee’s limited resources, it must
apply its criteria aggressively.
+Just because someone does not receive assistance
+on this occasion does not mean that they are not worthy of assistance, or
+that the Committee does not value their contribution to the ASF or to open
+source in general.
+We would love to be able to offer support more widely,
+but, as always, the Committee is limited in its work by the funds
available.</p>
<p>The Committee will notify those it deems to be most in need of assistance
within a week of the closing of the application period.</p>
-<h4>What the assistance covers</h4>
-<p>The Committee provides assistance with travel (air fares or train tickets),
accommodation during the conference, and conference fees. At this time, the
Committee is unable to provide any funds for general living expenses during the
conference.</p>
-<h4>Arrangements and planning for successful applicants</h4>
-<p>The Committee, and the ASF itself, do not have the means to distribute
funds for air fares, etc, to successful applicants, who will undoubtedly be
located worldwide. Therefore, the ASF and its appointed agents will arrange and
pay directly for travel and accommodation for successful applicants.</p>
-</div>
-<div class="col-md-auto">
-<h4>How to apply</h4>
-<p>Visit the online application and , if you have not already done so, create
an account by clicking the ‘Register’ link - or if you are an ASF
Committer just login using your LDAP creds via oauth. Once logged in answer all
questions as fully as possible. Note that you do not need to answer all
questions in the same session: you can keep coming back until you have
completed the form.</p>
-<p>Ensure that you specify which event you are applying for. We generally give
preference to those who apply to attend an event nearest their home location.
In other words, those in Europe would fair better applying to attend an
ApacheCon EU event, and those in Asia, an Asia event, when they next come
round.</p>

<p>However, we will consider carefully compelling reasons you present to
support going to an event further away than your nearest ApacheCon location.
(This year for example will be more forgiving due to no in person events for
over 2 years)</p>
-<p>We will only notify those applicants who are successful. If you have not
heard from us within one week of the application closing date, you should
assume that you did not qualify on this occasion. However, you are welcome to
email <a href="mailto:[email protected]";>[email protected]</a> for
confirmation if you wish. We do not provide explanations why a given
application was not successful, but you may assume that other applicants had a
greater need on this occasion.</p>
-<p>Note that, in return for financial assistance, we do ask that you perform
some duties while at the event, such as staffing the registration booth and
helping spread the Apache Way message; and opening/closing talk sessions for
other Speakers. But do not worry: you will still have plenty of time to attend
talks that interest you, get to see the sights of the hosting city, and meet
people from your projects and other folks you have been communicating with.</p>
-<p>Also note that participants we support must themselves obtain Travel
Insurance (including Medical coverage for those traveling overseas).</p>
