Dear Wicket Community, Please look at the following message if you would like to apply for travel assistance to the upcoming ApacheCon North America, to be held November 1-5, 2010 in Atlanta, GA.
The travel assistance committee tries to help members of the community attend who could not otherwise do so. In the past couple of years, they have provided a free admission for me, and travel (FROM BRAZIL) for Bruno Borges twice. This year could be your year! The deadline for applying is July 7th, but I suggest applying early. Best regards, Jeremy Thomerson ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Gav... <ga...@16degrees.com.au> Date: Sun, May 16, 2010 at 6:25 PM Subject: [Travel Assistance] - Applications Open for ApacheCon NA 2010 To: p...@apache.org Hi PMC's Please distribute this notice to your user and dev lists: The Travel Assistance Committee is now taking in applications for those wanting to attend ApacheCon North America (NA) 2010, which is taking place between the 1st and 5th November in Atlanta. The Travel Assistance Committee is looking for people who would like to be able to attend ApacheCon, but who need some financial support in order to be able to get there. There are limited places available, and all applications will be scored on their individual merit. Financial assistance is available to cover travel to the event, either in part or in full, depending on circumstances. However, the support available for those attending only the barcamp is smaller than that for people attending the whole event. The Travel Assistance Committee aims to support all ApacheCons, and cross-project events, and so it may be prudent for those in Asia and the EU to wait for an event closer to them. More information can be found on the main Apache website at http://www.apache.org/travel/index.html - where you will also find a link to the online application and details for submitting. Applications for applying for travel assistance are now being accepted, and will close on the 7th July 2010. Good luck to all those that will apply. You are welcome to tweet, blog as appropriate. Regards, The Travel Assistance Committee.
