Travel Support Program
If you are a key contributor to OpenStack and your company does NOT cover the costs of your Barcelona travel and accommodations, you may apply to the OpenStack Summit Travel Support Program.
The Travel Support Program (TSP) aims to facilitate participation of key contributors to the OpenStack Design Summit by covering the costs for their travel and accommodations. The OpenStack Foundation has set aside a fund to support this program. The total amount of the fund is to be divided among the approved key contributors. More details HERE.
The deadline to apply for the OpenStack TSP is August 8, 2016 and approved grantees will be notified by August 29, 2016.
If you have questions about the Travel Support Program, please email [email protected].

Barcelona is always gravitating toward what’s next, what’s new... To discover what’s fueling Barcelona right now, look to new contemporary art museums and small galleries. Look to the bold tapas bars and buzzing night life rejuvenating outlying neighborhoods. Look to the new, but make time for old favorites too.
