Application Period Opens for Travel Assistance to ApacheCon US 2008

[Bertrand Delacretaz <bd...@apache.org>]

Hi,

The ApacheCon US 2008 conference is getting closer. If you are
interested in participating but would have a hard time financing the
trip, the Apache Travel Assistance Committee may be able to help you.
See below for their announcement about the financial support that the
Apache Software Foundation is making available to qualified
developers.

> all welcome to apply for ApacheCon US of course, but there must be
> compelling reasons for you to attend an event further away that your home
> location for your application to be considered above those closer to the
> event location.

> 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 application form and details for submitting.
>
> Time is very tight for this event, so applications are open now and will end
> on the 2nd October 2008 - to give enough time for travel arrangements to be
> made.
>
> Good luck to all those that will apply.
