Travel grant program

This is an opportunity to strengthen the open source community by bringing more people together at FOSS4G. Grant requests (for registration, lodging, and travel costs) total over $100,000. The organizers would like to raise an additional $10,000 to help meet this need. You can support your colleagues by donating to the travel grant fund here, or when you register.
