Hi, Forwarding this announcement from the Travel Assistance Committee to the dev and users lists:
The Travel Assistance Committee (TAC) are pleased to announce that travel assistance applications for Community over Code Asia 2025 are now open! We will be supporting Community over Code Asia, Beijing, China July 25th to the 27th 2025. TAC exists to help those that would like to attend Community over Code events, but are unable to do so for financial reasons. For more info on this year's applications and qualifying criteria, please visit the TAC website at < https://tac.apache.org/ >. Applications are already open on https://tac-apply.apache.org/, so don't delay! The Apache Travel Assistance Committee will only be accepting applications from those people that are able to attend the full event. Important: Applications close on Friday 9th May, 2025. Applicants have until the 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 applications shortly afterwards. As usual, TAC expects to deal with a range of applications from a diverse range of backgrounds; therefore, we encourage (as always) anyone thinking about sending in an application to do so ASAP. For those that will need a Visa to enter the Country - we advise you apply now so that you have enough time in case of interview delays. So do not wait until you know if you have been accepted or not. We look forward to greeting many of you in Beijing China , July 2025! Kind Regards, Gavin (On behalf of the Travel Assistance Committee)
