Funding policy for 3rd party and smaller events

Funding from TAC MAY BE available for 3rd party (non-apache) events as well as smaller apache events such as roadshows and meetups, provided there is a positive cash balance at the time of requesting.

Funding for these events:

• Are decided on a case-by-case basis AS REQUESTED/CHAMPIONED BY $champion, where $champion:
  • Is an apache project or a group of people within the wider apache community, including but not limited to:
    • An ASF PMC/PPMC/committee
    • A group of Apache members
  • can provide/guarantee a notable ASF presence, such as:
    
    • A booth for the ASF or one or more projects
    • A sizeable (TBD) number of talks/events relating to the foundation or one or more projects
  • can rationalize how TAC funding would benefit both the foundation and its projects, and provide a clear plan for how this would play out.
  • can provide at least one person to help liaise with TAC and the event, including:
    
    • coordinating applications
    • coordinating on-the-ground handling of accepted TAC recipients
    • Ensuring the above-mentioned ASF presence at the conference

Funding is granted fully at the discretion of the Travel Assistance Committee, on a per-request basis.

Funding requests for future events are discussed on  $list@apache.org
Requests and discussions are public. The final deliberation will be made internally by the Travel Assistance Committee and published.
