The Travel Assistance Committee (TAC) are pleased to announce that travel
assistance applications for ApacheCon NA 2018 are now open!

We will be supporting ApacheCon NA Montreal, Canada on 24th - 29th
September 2018

 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 now open and will close 1st May.

*Important*: Applications close on May 1st, 2018. 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.
We look forward to greeting many of you in Montreal

Kind Regards,
Gavin - (On behalf of the Travel Assistance Committee)

Apache EU Roadshow CFP Closing Soon (23 February)

[Sharan F]

Hello Everyone

This is an initial reminder to let you all know that we are holding an 
Apache EU Roadshow co-located with FOSS Backstage in Berlin on 13^th and 
14^th June 2018. https://s.apache.org/tCHx


The Call for Proposals (CFP) for the Apache EU Roadshow is currently 
open and will close at the end of next week, so if you have been 
delaying making a submission because the closing date seemed a long way 
off, then it's time to start getting your proposals submitted.


So what are we looking for?
We will have 2 Apache Devrooms available during the 2 day Roadshow so 
are looking for projects including incubating ones, to submit 
presentations, panel discussions, BoFs, or workshop proposals. The main 
focus of the Roadshow will be IoT, Cloud, Httpd and Tomcat so if your 
project is involved in or around any of these technologies at Apache 
then we are very interested in hearing from you.


Community and collaboration is important at Apache so if your project is 
interested in organising a project sprint, meetup or hackathon during 
the Roadshow, then please submit it inthe CFP as we do have some space 
available to allocate for these.


If you are wanting to submit a talk on open source community related 
topics such as the Apache Way, governance or legal aspects then please 
submit these to the CFP for FOSS Backstage.


Tickets for the Apache EU Roadshow are included as part of the 
registration for FOSS Backstage, so to attend the Roadshow you will need 
to register for FOSS Backstage. Early Bird tickets are still available 
until the 21^st February 2018.
