Hi all, A personal word from my side:
Attending an ApacheCon with TAC was the key event that finally made me fully become a full Apache. Not just attending, but being a part of the conference and being introduced and working with all the Key-players of the foundation had a great influence on me then. And I might add that my attendance at ApacheCon NA 2014 in Denver was the key event that made my current employer notice me. So I can say that attending an ApacheCon changed my life. So If you don’t have the budget for the trip, think of applying for TAC. Chris Now the message from the TAC committee: ---------- Forwarded message --------- — Reminder that travel assistance applications for ApacheCon NA 2018 are still open but only for another* 2 weeks*! Please get your applications in NOW. We will be supporting ApacheCon NA Montréal, Canada on 24th - 29th September 2018 TAC exists to help those that would like to attend ApacheCon events, but are unable to do so for financial reasons. For more info on this years applications and qualifying criteria, please visit the TAC website at < http://www.apache.org/travel/ >. Applications are now open and will close 1st May. *Important*: Applications close on May 1st, 2018. Applicants have until the closing date above to submit their applications (which should contain as much supporting material as required to efficiently and accurately process their request), this will enable TAC to announce successful awards shortly afterwards. As usual, TAC expects to deal with a range of applications from a diverse range of backgrounds. We therefore encourage (as always) anyone thinking about sending in an application to do so ASAP. We look forward to greeting many of you in Montreal Kind Regards, Gavin - (On behalf of the Travel Assistance Committee)
