Travel Support Program

Shari: /* Composition of the Committee for Tokyo 2015 */

= OpenStack Travel Support Program =

The program's aim is to facilitate participation of key contributors to the OpenStack Design Summit covering costs for travel and accommodation. The Travel Support Program is based on the promise of [[Open|Open Design]]. Key contributors are contributors whose presence is specifically relevant for the topics to be discussed at the Summit they're applying to. Relevance of somebody's presence is never evaluated in general ways: it's always relative to the content being discussed at the specific Summit.
The OpenStack Foundation will set aside a fund to support this program. The total amount of the fund is to be divided among the key contributors.

== Criteria and process ==

All contributors to OpenStack (developers, documentation writers, organisers of user groups around the world, Ask moderators, translators, etc) are invited to submit a request. PTLs and code reviewers also are requested to propose candidates.

* Candidates apply on an online form to be published for [https://www.openstack.org/summit/tokyo-2015/ "M" Summit in Tokyo, 2015]
* Travel Selection Committee evaluates entries based on criteria stated below
* Travel Agent coordinates with key contributors.

The OpenStack Foundation will coordinate directly with the key contributors to arrange for their travel, according to the level of funds granted.

== Who decides ==

The travel committee is made of 3 people from User Committee, 3 people from Board of Directors, 3 people among OpenStack Ambassadors, 3 people among PTLs/TC members and Foundation staff. The members are coopted by their peers and/or picked by the Community Managers with the objective to maximize representation of gender and geographic areas in the Travel Committee. The Committee is formed anew before each Summit.

=== Composition of the Committee for Tokyo 2015 ===

* From the Board of Directors: Egle Sigler, Robert Esker, Eileen Evans
* From the Technical Committee: Doug Hellmann, Michael Still, Mark McClain
* From the User Committee: Erwan Gallen, Maish Saidel-Keesing, Shilla Saebi
* From the Ambassadors: Kenneth Hui, Marton Kiss, Kavit Munshi
* From OpenStack Foundation: Chris Hoge, Shari Mahrdt, Tom Fifield

== How the decision is made ==

Members of the committee vote for each candidate based on their application with votes ranging -2 to +2. PTLs can use +3 for strong candidates for the Design sessions.
Negative votes are to be considered for people known to be disruptive to discussions, non collaborative, time wasters. Not known get 0. Votes are aggregated and a ranking is built. The ranking will not be public in order to avoid rancor and resentment. The Travel Committee will write a summary for each approved candidate highlighting the reasons for their approval (this will help future applicants in understanding what is considered valuable).

The Travel Committee submits the list with rankings to the OpenStack Foundation for building the final list. The final list will be assembled based on the individual travel costs, as estimated by the applicants. A negotiation phase may be needed between the Travel Committee and the Foundation staff. The main unknown tend to be flight costs as they're hard to finalize. Hotel costs are easy to estimate and cover by the Foundation.

The coordination of the Travel Committee happens on the [http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-travel-committee mailing list], discussions are not archived and kept private for privacy of applicants.

= How to apply =

Fill in the [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/10Ral16vvYbk6FYlsg_t5zKS0QYIIGtZ8vyX97eSIoP4/viewform online application form]. Applicants will be notified according to the deadlines below.

== Deadlines for next Summit ==

* Week of June 22, 2015: Initial publication, start collecting applications
* August 10, 2015: Final deadline to submit applications
* August 11, 2015: Start evaluation of submissions by Travel Committee
* August 24, 2015: Notifications of approved grantees

== Travel rewards ==

The grants will cover a combination of flights, accommodation and access pass to the Summit.

Travel Support Program

2015-07-01T21:55:00Z

Shari: /* Composition of the Committee for Tokyo 2015 */

= OpenStack Travel Support Program =

The program's aim is to facilitate participation of key contributors to the OpenStack Design Summit covering costs for travel and accommodation. The Travel Support Program is based on the promise of [[Open|Open Design]]. Key contributors are contributors whose presence is specifically relevant for the topics to be discussed at the Summit they're applying to. Relevance of somebody's presence is never evaluated in general ways: it's always relative to the content being discussed at the specific Summit.
The OpenStack Foundation will set aside a fund to support this program. The total amount of the fund is to be divided among the key contributors.

== Criteria and process ==

All contributors to OpenStack (developers, documentation writers, organisers of user groups around the world, Ask moderators, translators, etc) are invited to submit a request. PTLs and code reviewers also are requested to propose candidates.

* Candidates apply on an online form to be published for [https://www.openstack.org/summit/tokyo-2015/ "M" Summit in Tokyo, 2015]
* Travel Selection Committee evaluates entries based on criteria stated below
* Travel Agent coordinates with key contributors.

The OpenStack Foundation will coordinate directly with the key contributors to arrange for their travel, according to the level of funds granted.

== Who decides ==

The travel committee is made of 3 people from User Committee, 3 people from Board of Directors, 3 people among OpenStack Ambassadors, 3 people among PTLs/TC members and Foundation staff. The members are coopted by their peers and/or picked by the Community Managers with the objective to maximize representation of gender and geographic areas in the Travel Committee. The Committee is formed anew before each Summit.

=== Composition of the Committee for Tokyo 2015 ===

* From the Board of Directors: Egle Sigler, Robert Esker, Eileen Evans
* From the Technical Committee: Doug Hellmann, Michael Still, Mark McClain
* From the User Committee: Erwan Gallen, Maish Saidel-Keesing, Shilla Saebi
* From the Ambassadors: Kenneth Hui, Marton Kiss, Kavit Munshi
* From OpenStack Foundation: Chris Hoge, Shari Mahrdt

== How the decision is made ==

Members of the committee vote for each candidate based on their application with votes ranging -2 to +2. PTLs can use +3 for strong candidates for the Design sessions.
Negative votes are to be considered for people known to be disruptive to discussions, non collaborative, time wasters. Not known get 0. Votes are aggregated and a ranking is built. The ranking will not be public in order to avoid rancor and resentment. The Travel Committee will write a summary for each approved candidate highlighting the reasons for their approval (this will help future applicants in understanding what is considered valuable).

The Travel Committee submits the list with rankings to the OpenStack Foundation for building the final list. The final list will be assembled based on the individual travel costs, as estimated by the applicants. A negotiation phase may be needed between the Travel Committee and the Foundation staff. The main unknown tend to be flight costs as they're hard to finalize. Hotel costs are easy to estimate and cover by the Foundation.

The coordination of the Travel Committee happens on the [http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-travel-committee mailing list], discussions are not archived and kept private for privacy of applicants.

= How to apply =

Fill in the [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/10Ral16vvYbk6FYlsg_t5zKS0QYIIGtZ8vyX97eSIoP4/viewform online application form]. Applicants will be notified according to the deadlines below.

== Deadlines for next Summit ==

* Week of June 22, 2015: Initial publication, start collecting applications
* August 10, 2015: Final deadline to submit applications
* August 11, 2015: Start evaluation of submissions by Travel Committee
* August 24, 2015: Notifications of approved grantees

== Travel rewards ==

The grants will cover a combination of flights, accommodation and access pass to the Summit.

= Reports from previous editions = 


* [[Travel Support Program/Icehouse|Icehouse/Hong Kong edition]]
* [[Travel_Support_Program/Juno|Atlanta edition]]
* [http://www.openstack.org/blog/2014/11/wrapping-up-the-travel-support-program-kilo/ Paris edition (Kilo)]

Travel Support Program

2015-06-24T16:24:59Z

Shari: /* Composition of the Committee for Tokyo 2015 */

= OpenStack Travel Support Program =

The program's aim is to facilitate participation of key contributors to the OpenStack Design Summit covering costs for travel and accommodation. The Travel Support Program is based on the promise of [[Open|Open Design]]. Key contributors are contributors whose presence is specifically relevant for the topics to be discussed at the Summit they're applying to. Relevance of somebody's presence is never evaluated in general ways: it's always relative to the content being discussed at the specific Summit.
The OpenStack Foundation will set aside a fund to support this program. The total amount of the fund is to be divided among the key contributors.

== Criteria and process ==

All contributors to OpenStack (developers, documentation writers, organisers of user groups around the world, Ask moderators, translators, etc) are invited to submit a request. PTLs and code reviewers also are requested to propose candidates.

* Candidates apply on an online form to be published for [https://www.openstack.org/summit/tokyo-2015/ "M" Summit in Tokyo, 2015]
* Travel Selection Committee evaluates entries based on criteria stated below
* Travel Agent coordinates with key contributors.

The OpenStack Foundation will coordinate directly with the key contributors to arrange for their travel, according to the level of funds granted.

== Who decides ==

The travel committee is made of 3 people from User Committee, 3 people from Board of Directors, 3 people among OpenStack Ambassadors, 3 people among PTLs/TC members and Foundation staff. The members are coopted by their peers and/or picked by the Community Managers with the objective to maximize representation of gender and geographic areas in the Travel Committee. The Committee is formed anew before each Summit.

=== Composition of the Committee for Tokyo 2015 ===

* From the Board of Directors: TBA
* From the Technical Committee: TBA
* From the User Committee: TBA
* From the Ambassadors: Marton Kiss,
* From OpenStack Foundation: Tom Fifield, Chris Duncan, Shari Mahrdt

== How the decision is made ==

Members of the committee vote for each candidate based on their application with votes ranging -2 to +2. PTLs can use +3 for strong candidates for the Design sessions.
Negative votes are to be considered for people known to be disruptive to discussions, non collaborative, time wasters. Not known get 0. Votes are aggregated and a ranking is built. The ranking will not be public in order to avoid rancor and resentment. The Travel Committee will write a summary for each approved candidate highlighting the reasons for their approval (this will help future applicants in understanding what is considered valuable).

The Travel Committee submits the list with rankings to the OpenStack Foundation for building the final list. The final list will be assembled based on the individual travel costs, as estimated by the applicants. A negotiation phase may be needed between the Travel Committee and the Foundation staff. The main unknown tend to be flight costs as they're hard to finalize. Hotel costs are easy to estimate and cover by the Foundation.

The coordination of the Travel Committee happens on the [http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-travel-committee mailing list], discussions are not archived and kept private for privacy of applicants.

= How to apply =
