Hi all, I just wanted to let you know that we finally managed to open the applications for Apache TAC for ApacheCon NA 2019 in Las Vegas.
For those of you that don’t know what TAC is, it’s Apaches Travel Assistance Committee. It’s the main goal of ApacheCons to get the communities together. Sometimes not everyone can afford to go. This is where TAC comes in. If the reason is, that you can’t afford coming, you can apply for travel assistance. If you are selected, Apache will pay for flight, hotel, conference-fees and even food and drinks while at the conference. I’ll never forget my first trip to ApacheCon in Denver about 5 years ago. It was an amazing experience. I should however mention, that we usually ask people to apply for tac to the closest ApacheCon in a year. So if you live in Europe applying for ApacheCon Europe in Berlin might be more apropreate (Applications for that will open soon) I’ll definitely be at both and looking forward to meet you. And if you do apply … please, please, please read the question and the comment under the answer field fully. This makes the lives of TAC judges so much easier and could even improve your chances of being selected.
