Hi Com Dev and Sharan in particular, We recently received a donation of funds and voted that we would use it to establish travel grants/scholarships for folks wishing to attend the Apache Iceberg Summit 2025. Craig McClanhan suggested that ComDev would be a great resource for helping actually set this sort of thing up (and Sharan in particular).
I've volunteered to take the lead on this project and I would like to know how to set up doing this sort of program. I have no experience with running grants and would greatly appreciate the know-how of the folks at Com Dev to make this happen. Ideally I would like to make it possible for engineers or aspiring engineers who otherwise wouldn't be able to attend, to join us for our second community conference. Thank you in advance, Russ
