<p>The Travel Assistance Committee helps those who would like to
attend ApacheCon events, but are unable to do so for financial reasons.</p>
<h2 id="purpose-and-intended-audience">Purpose and intended audience<a class="headerlink" href="#purpose-and-intended-audience" title="Permalink">&para;</a></h2>
<p>The Travel Assistance committee was reformed in September 2008 with the
goal of providing financial assistance to those who would otherwise be
unable to attend various ApacheCon events.</p>
<p>Those who are thinking of applying for financial assistance should know that the Committee has limited finances and that, as a consequence, only
a few places are available for each Apache event.
Applicants should have valid reasons for
attending ApacheCon events that are of benefit to both the applicant and
the ASF, and to open source as a whole.</p>
<p><strong>Note, read this entire page BEFORE applying for assistance.</strong></p>
<h2 id="criteria">Application criteria<a class="headerlink" href="#criteria" title="Permalink">&para;</a></h2>
<p>The Committee judges applications on merit, based on details each applicant provides on their
application form.
The application form captures the information the Committee requires to be able to make such a judgment.
Bear in mind that, due to the Committee's limited resources, it must apply its criteria aggressively.
Just because someone does not receive assistance
on this occasion does not mean that they are not worthy of assistance, or
that the Committee does not value their contribution to the ASF or to open
source in general.
We would love to be able to offer support more widely,
but, as always, the Committee is limited in its work by the funds available.</p>
<p>The Committee will notify those it deems to be most in need of assistance within a week of the closing of the application period.</p>
<h2 id="covered">What the assistance covers<a class="headerlink" href="#covered" title="Permalink">&para;</a></h2>
<p>The Committee provides assistance with travel (air fares or train tickets),
accommodation during the conference, and conference fees.
At this time, the Committee is unable to provide any funds for general living expenses during
the conference.</p>
<h3 id="arrangements">Arrangements and planning for successful applicants<a class="headerlink" href="#arrangements" title="Permalink">&para;</a></h3>
<p>The Committee, and the ASF itself, do not have the means to distribute
funds for air fares, etc, to successful applicants, who will undoubtedly be located worldwide.
Therefore, the ASF and its appointed agents will arrange and pay directly for travel and accommodation for successful applicants.</p>
<h2 id="applying">How to apply for travel assistance<a class="headerlink" href="#applying" title="Permalink">&para;</a></h2>
<p>Visit the <a href="/travel/application">online application </a> and , if you have not already done so,
create an account by clicking the 'Register' link - or if you are an ASF Committer just login using
your LDAP creds via oauth.
Once logged in answer all questions as fully as possible.
Note that you do not need to answer all questions in the same session: you can keep coming back
until you have completed the form.</p>
<p>Ensure that you specify which event you are applying for.
We generally give preference to those who apply to attend an event nearest their home location.
In other words, those in Europe would fair better
applying to attend an ApacheCon EU event, and those in Asia, an Asia event, when they next come round.</p>
<p>However, we will consider carefully compelling reasons you present to support going to an event further away than your
nearest ApacheCon location. (This year for example will be more forgiving due to no in person events for over 2 years)</p>
<p>We will only notify those applicants who are successful.
If you have not heard from us within one week of the application closing date, you should assume that you did not qualify on this occasion.
However, you are welcome to email <a href="mailto:tac-apply@apache.org">tac-apply@apache.org</a> for confirmation if you wish.
We do not provide explanations why a given application was not successful, but you may assume that
other applicants had a greater need on this occasion.</p>
<p><strong>Note</strong> that, in return for financial assistance, we do ask that you perform some
duties while at the event, such as staffing the registration booth and helping spread the Apache Way message; and opening/closing
talk sessions for other Speakers.
But do not worry: you will still have plenty of time to attend talks that
interest you, get to see the sights of the hosting city, and meet people from your
projects and other folks you have been communicating with.</p>
<p><strong>Also note</strong> that participants we support must themselves obtain Travel Insurance (including Medical coverage for
those traveling overseas).</p>
<p>To apply, complete the <a href="/travel/application">on line application</a>.</p>
<h2 id="events">Events for which support is available<a class="headerlink" href="#events" title="Permalink">&para;</a></h2>
<p>Applications are now open for assistance to <a href="https://www.apachecon.com/acna2022/">ApacheCon NA New Orleans</a>
which is on between the 3rd and 6th of October 2022. Closing date for Applications for Travel Assistance
to this event has been extended to 8th July 2022.</p>
<p>Travel Assistance includes travel to the event, via plane,train etc; and optionally includes if needed the
cost of Hotel accomodation and also Conference tickets.</p>
<p>Applications are open to anyone involved in open source , not just at the Apache Software Foundation, but
anywhere. If you are unsure if you want to apply - we encourage you to read the Stories from past recipients
as mentioned below!</p>
<p>Good luck and hope to see you in New Orleans!</p>

<h2 id="stories">Stories from past TAC recipients<a class="headerlink" href="#stories" title="Permalink">&para;</a></h2>
<p>Are you thinking of applying for TAC funding, but wondering how it works? Wondering how it
might apply for someone like yourself? Wondering if it might be relevant? Curious to know how
others found the experience?</p>
<p>We've put together stories from past TAC recipients of their experiences with TAC and with ApacheCon itself.
You can view these on the <a href="/travel/stories/">TAC Stories pages</a>.
We're grouped them by project area, applicant background and the like.

## Apache Retreat Knockree, Ireland 2011 {#KnockreeRetreat}
The Travel Assistance Committee is able to help people who 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 one-day Bar Camp.
(However, the support available for those attending only the barcamp is
smaller than that for people attending the whole event).
- Event dates: 13 to 16 May 2011
- Application period: 28th February 2011 to 12th March 2011
- Notification date: successful applicants will be informed within one week
of application closing date.
- Applications via the [online webapp](/travel/application).
