Participation Grants: Deadline extended until September 5!
We have received over 60 applications for the Participation Grants. However, we received less applications than we expected from Hungary, Eastern Europe and Russia. Since one of the main purposes of the Grants is to support applicants from these regions, we feel that we need to give them more chance to get financial help in attending the Plone Conference 2009 in Budapest.
Therefore, the Grant Committee has decided to extend the application deadline until 2009 September 5. By this new deadline, the grants are open for applications with the original conditions, for applicants from all regions.
New results will be announced by 2009 September 11.
Information for those who have submitted their application before August 20:
- Applicants from regions 1-4 (Europe and Russia) will have their applications accepted or rejected immediately and the results will be announced shortly. NOTE: New applications (those who applied after August 20th) from these regions still participate in the Grant until September 5th and will get results by September 11th.
- Applicants from region 5 (the World) stay in competition without immediate results, and will have their acceptance results published by 2009 September 11.
If you are a Grant Applicant, and you also need a visa to Hungary, we advise to start with your application process immediately, and notify us by email if you want us to send the Letter of Invitation for visa. More information is available here.
