-
-The Travel Assistance Committee helps those who would like to
-attend ApacheCon events, but are unable to do so for financial reasons.
-
-## Purpose and intended audience ##
-
-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.
-
-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.
-
-**Note, read this entire page BEFORE applying for assistance.**
-
-## Application criteria {#criteria}
-
-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.
-
-The Committee will notify those it deems to be most in need of assistance
within a week of the closing of the application period.
-
-## What the assistance covers {#covered}
-
-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.
-
-### Arrangements and planning for successful applicants {#arrangements}
-
-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.
-
-## How to apply for travel assistance {#applying}
-
-Visit the [online application ](https://tac-apply.apache.org/) 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.
-
-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.
-
-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)
-
-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 [email protected] 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.
-
-**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.
-
-**Also note** that participants we support must themselves obtain Travel
Insurance (including Medical coverage for
-those traveling overseas).
-
-To apply, complete the [on line application](https://tac-apply.apache.org/).
-
-## Events for which support is available {#events}
-
-Applications are now open for assistance to [ApacheCon NA New
Orleans](https://www.apachecon.com/acna2022/)
-which is on between the 3rd and 6th of October 2022. Closing date for
Applications for Travel Assistance
-to this event has been extended to 8th July 2022.
-
-Travel Assistance includes travel to the event, via plane,train etc; and
optionally includes if needed the
-cost of Hotel accomodation and also Conference tickets.
-
-Applications are open to anyone involved in open source , not just at the
Apache Software Foundation, but
-anywhere. If you are unsure if you want to apply - we encourage you to read
the Stories from past recipients
-as mentioned below!
-
-Good luck and hope to see you in New Orleans!

-## Stories from past TAC recipients {#stories}
-Are you thinking of applying for TAC funding, but wondering how it works?
Wondering how it
-might apply for someone like yourself? Wondering if it might be relevant?
Curious to know how
-others found the experience?
-
-We've put together stories from past TAC recipients of their experiences with
TAC and with ApacheCon itself.
-You can view these on the [TAC Stories pages](/stories/).
-We're grouped them by project area, applicant background and the like.
-[Take a look around](/stories/)!
