You need to apply for the travel expense subsidy by sending an email to the public mailing list <ooo-dev@incubator.apache.org> until 2012-10-12, 12:00 (Central European time, GMT+2).

In the content of the email please fill the following fields:
- full name

Your travel expenses must be at least 300,00 EUR resp. 600,00 EUR and you are expecting to stay for at least two nights. If you are getting a corporate funding or the ApacheCon EU TAC funding, your application will not be considered.
