The Apache OpenOffice project has a fund established with the Apache Treasurer for the purpose of providing travel assistance to members of the OpenOffice community needing financial assistance to attend ApacheCon Europe.
The deadline for application is August 16, 2012. I suggest that we give special consideration to those who have submitted a proposal for a talk, and/or those who wish to volunteer and make this a great OpenOffice track and a great ApacheCon Europe. Please note Q7 on the application form where you can identify your membership in the OpenOffice project. This looks like the best way to flag your application for consideration. I have asked the TAC team for their advice on how best to establish a dedicated workflow for processing these applications. So I expect we'll learn more about how to do this, and will need to make some adjustments accordingly. /don
