Marketing and traveling expenses
Hi I was asked about the use of funds regarding marketing events, speakers
and such. I want to know how does Apache manage funds for this operations?
Back in the OOo days, there was a marketing funds that came from donations,
and help subsidize traveling and some swag expenses (tshirt, pins,
stickers).
Is there any documentation on this that I can forward people to?
Regards.

Seems this is only for ApacheCon, not sure if there is any reference for
third party or project specific events.

I wonder if we could coordinate a list or other resource for linking conferences with local or other business sponsors, if there is not one yet.
Is there, or is anyone interested in collaborating on the idea?

For ApacheCon, there is the Travel Assistance Committee (TAC).
Information is here: http://www.apache.org/travel/
You can also point them to the email lists for ApacheCon and Small
Events: http://events.apache.org/involved/mailing-lists.html
My understanding is events aim to be self-funding, via sponsorship and
attendance fees.

(Putting my comment and the other useful responses in one place)
As a public charity, the ASF does not provide funding for "marketing" of
individual projects. As a general policy, we are very cautious when
allocating funding for anything other than the obvious requirements of
servers, bandwidths, sysadmins, and the like.
The one related area the ASF does have funding programs for is events,
specifically with the purpose of assisting likely contributors to come
to events, with the hopes that our project communities will grow.
