> Financial assistance is available to cover flights/trains,  
> accommodation and
> entrance fees either in part or in full, depending on circumstances.
> However, the support available for those attending only the BarCamp  
> (7-8
> November) is less than that for those attending the entire event  
> (Conference
> + BarCamp 7-11 November). The Travel Assistance Committee aims to  
> support
> all official ASF events, including cross-project activities; as  
> such, it may
> be prudent for those in Asia and Europe to wait for an event  
> geographically
> closer to them.
