Applications for Travel Assistance for the Apache Retreat in Ireland now open
Nick Burch
to attend the Apache Retreat in Ireland, which is taking place between the 9th
and 12th of April.
The Travel Assistance Committee is looking for people who would like to be able
to attend the Retreat, but who need some financial support in order to be able
to get there. There are limited places available, and all applications will be
scored on their individual merit. Applications are open to all open source
developers, both Apache Committers wishing to attend the whole event, and other
developers wishing to attend the Bar Camp.
Financial assistance is available to cover travel to the event, either in part
or in full, depending on circumstances. However, the support available for
those attending only the barcamp is smaller than that for people attending the
whole event. The Travel Assistance Committee aims to support all ApacheCons,
and cross-project events, and so it may be prudent for those in Asia and the
Americas to wait for an event closer to them.
Please note that for this event, assistance with visa applications is not
available. People who don't currently have permission to travel to Ireland are
advised to wait for ApacheCon US, and indicate in their application for that
conference that they were unable to attend the retreat.
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 online application and details for submitting.
Applications for applying for travel assistance have just opened, and will
close on the 31st of January 2010.
Good luck to all those that will apply.
Regards,
Nick, on behalf of the Travel Assistance Committee
