Hi Everyone
I'm just forwarding this message to the user list. If you'd like to go
to Apachecon NA in Miami but can't for financial reasons, then you can
apply to the Apache Travel Assistance Committee (TAC) for help with your
travel costs (e.g. flights, hotels and living expenses).
Thanks
Sharan

Hello Fellow Apache Enthusiasts!!
The Travel Assistance Committee (TAC) are pleased to announce that travel assistance applications for ApacheCon NA 2017 are now open!
We will be supporting ApacheCon NA, Miami, Florida, USA, May 16th - 18th, 2017.
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!
ApacheCon NA is split into two separate themed events - Apache Big Data and ApacheCon. There will be a hackathon and BarCamp on either end of the main conference; therefore, the Apache Travel Assistance Committee will only be accepting applications from those people that are able to attend all week.
Important: Applications close on Wednesday, March 8, 2017.
Applicants have until the closing date above to submit their applications (which should contain as much supporting material as required to efficiently and accurately process their 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; therefore, we encourage (as always) anyone thinking about sending in an application to do so ASAP. We look forward to greeting many of you in Miami, Florida in March, 2017!
Kind Regards,
~Melissa
(On behalf of the Travel Assistance Committee)
