Fwd: ApacheCon NA 2015 Travel Assistance Applications now open!

[Werner Keil <we...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

Although this closes even a bit after the CFP (Feb 12, 2016:
http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/apachecon-north-america/program/cfp)
since I won't be on the call next week and it may not even take place, is
anybody considering a Pluto 3/Portals proposal for ApacheCon NA 2016?

I was told individuals might even get travel assistance, but in case they
didn't grant it, someone from North America would be good, too. Or Scott if
IBM he's able to speak in NA should a proposal be accepted.

Maybe think about it over Christmas, at least in January it would be good
to decide if it was a good time and place to talk about the JSR and next
Pluto version.

Regards,

Werner

Hi pmcs@,

The Travel Assistance Committee (TAC) are pleased to announce that travel
assistance applications for ApacheCon NA 2016 are now open!

This announcement serves as a purpose for you (pmcs@) to let members of
your community know about both ApacheCon NA 2016 and about the TAC
assistance to attend. Could you please forward this announcement to your
community, along with (if possible) information on how your project is
involved in ApacheCon this year?

We will be supporting ApacheCon NA, Vancouver BC, May 9th - 13th 2016.

TAC exists to help those that would like to attend ApacheCon events, but
are unable to do so for financial reasons. For more info on this years
applications and qualifying criteria, please visit the TAC website at <
http://www.apache.org/travel/ >. Applications are already open, so don't
delay!

This year ApacheCon NA is split into two separate themed events - Apache
BigData
<http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/apache-big-data-north-america>
and *ApacheCon*
<http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/apachecon-north-america>. Due to
the small time frame of each event (3 days and 2 days) the Apache Travel
Assistance Committee will only be accepting applications from those people
that are able to attend BOTH events.


*Important: Applications close on Wednesday, March 2, 2016.*

Applicants have until the the closing date above to submit their
applications (which should contain as much supporting material as required
to efficiently and accurately process your request), this will enable TAC
to announce successful awards shortly afterwards.

As usual TAC expects to deal with a range of applications from a diverse
range of backgrounds. We therefore encourage (as always) anyone thinking
about sending in an application to do so ASAP.

We look forward to greeting many of you in Vancouver, BC in May 2016!

Best

Hi,

Of those in America, anybody going to ApacheCon NA for sure or proposed
talks on other projects already?

It sounded like it could be a bit far for Anatole to go there (unlike ACE)
I was told individuals might even get travel assistance, but in case they
didn't grant it (just take e.g. Otavio who was hoping to go to DevoXX BE or
MA, but neither was granted by where he'd asked for it), someone from North
America would be good to also act as one of he speakers. Since ApacheCon
"Core" and BigData also seem split in that case, having to attend a full
conference for travel assistance (I heard they prefer that, in Budapest
2014 I only used the flight, which at the very least I'd need here, too;-)
of 2 days would be reasonable, I guess I could get enough days off in my
case.

Cheers,

Werner
