[Fwd: Application Period Opens for Travel Assistance to ApacheCon US 2008]

[Scott Eade <se...@apache.org>]

The Travel Assistance Committee is taking in applications for those 
wanting to attend ApacheCon US 2008 between the 3rd and 7th November 
2008 in New Orleans.

The Travel Assistance Committee is looking for people who would like to 
be able to attend ApacheCon US 2008 who need some financial support in 
order to get there. There are VERY few places available and the criteria 
is high, that aside applications are open to all open source developers 
who feel that their attendance would benefit themselves, their 
project(s), the ASF and open source in general.

Financial assistance is available for flights, accomodation and entrance 
fees either in full or in part, depending on circumstances. It is 
intended that all our ApacheCon events are covered, so it may be prudent 
for those in Europe and or Asia to wait until an event closer to them 
comes up - you are 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.

Regards,

The Travel Assistance Committee
