They support the idea and have now reserved the "apache" account for
such a purpose.

Once minotaur is back up, a mailshot will go out today :)

Thank you. I'm interested in various details because I'm not sure if I'll attend all 5 days (if any of course).

I'm just a student and I'm not employed as studying maths can hardly be combined with regular work. I worked during the
summer, though. So there is no entity that could cover my expenses apart from, possibly, the ASF. Just for a sake of
completness: I attended ApacheCon EU 2008 (hackathon days) thanks to David Crossley that kindly sponsored my travel.
It's another occasion to express my gratitude for that.

I've seen travel assistance in the past and even subscribed to TAC's mailing list but I didn't have a time to follow it
lately. If application period is already open then I wonder why PMCs were not informed? At least nothing appeared at
Cocoon's PMC list.

Not much. I got the impression that they were still thinking about how
actively they should focus on the ApacheCon, but it looks like they're
excited about our efforts so perhaps that helps move things forward on
that front. I'll keep you posted about the status.

PS. Have you already seen http://www.apache.org/travel/? I believe
having you at the conference would definitely benefit both you and the
foundation, so you should definitely apply for travel assistance
unless you already have a company or some other entity who's willing
to cover your costs. Note that the application period ends on Feb 6th.

Great, thanks Jukka.

Are there any news on BoF meeting about Git with GitHub folks? I don't want to arrange anything myself because I don't
know if I'll attend ApacheCon EU, yet. It depends on on my schedule next term and, more importantly, on my ability to
gather necessary money.

Anyway, I would like to know if there are any arrangements already made?
