Hello SystemDS contributors, The travel assistance applications for ApacheCon NA 2022 are now open!
Travel Assistance Committee (TAC) will be supporting ApacheCon North America in New Orleans, Louisiana, on October 3rd through 6th, 2022. TAC exists to help those that would like to attend ApacheCon events, but are unable to do so for financial reasons. This year, We are supporting both committers and non-committers involved with projects at the Apache Software Foundation, or open source projects in general. For more info on this year's applications and qualifying criteria, please visit the TAC website at http://www.apache.org/travel/ Applications opened today and will close on the 1st of July 2022. Important: 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. We therefore encourage (as always) anyone thinking about sending in an application to do so ASAP. -- FAQ 1. Do I need to be a committer? Not necessarily. Do apply if you are a contributor to the SystemDS or involved in Open Source. They might even allow non-apache project contributors too. 2. What all the expenses will be covered by Apache? Sometimes, everything - tickets, stay, including spending allowance when you are at New Orleans. 3. I want to attend ApacheCon but I am not sure whether I am eligible? Apply, TAC will let you know. :) If you have any queries, or need help with application either contact TAC or send an email to me. Best Wishes, Janardhan
