Hello, the ECSL (Central American Free Software Summit) send me an invitation to give a keynote at their event.
Do you have any additional information about the event? Search engines led me to http://ecsl2013.softwarelibre.ca/ so I tried manually changing it to 2014 but it's clearly not a final website, like http://ecsl2014.softwarelibre.ca/noticias/ contains only Lorem Ipsum and broken blocks.
It would also be very important to see: 1) How the event would benefit the Apache Software Foundation 2) How the event would benefit Apache OpenOffice
The organizers asked me if there is a way Apache can cover partially the travel or boarding expenses. We have talked about this before on the list, but it seems no straight process is defined at the moment so I am also unsure about what support is expected from the foundation. Or what is needed at the moment.
We have a fund for OpenOffice events, normally reserved for events where OpenOffice has a high visibility (such as: a day-long devroom at FOSDEM, even though none of us ever received reimbursement for it) or where a presence of OpenOffice can be useful (in this case, we normally finance merchandising: this happened for OSCON recently... well, Kay did not ask for reimbursement yet, but this would be reimbursed!).
There is also the Apache-wide TAC http://www.apache.org/travel/ but honestly I cannot recommend it in this case, it is a complex application procedure and only for a few selected events, usually official Apache events.
