Hey Claude, I know your name well from having spent quite a bit of time over in Jena-dev (mostly observing) over last year. I am sitting on the Apache Travel Assistance Committee which is created and operating to cater exactly for people like yourself. I would highly encourage you to apply for travel assistance for ApacheCon NA 2015 Please check out the TAC website at http://apache.org/travel before applying. Thanks, I wish you all the very best with your application and look forward to seeing you in Austin. Lewis
