I would have liked to attend but my TAC application wasn't successful.
TAC was apparently faced with an unusually large number of high quality

...and we have the opposite problem; we have an OpenOffice travel fund
that can supplement TAC and nobody asks for it. So I recommend that
active members who would like to travel to ApacheCon NA and would feel
better with some form of financial support ask for it. We wouldn't be
able to fully fund participants (I think a TAC grant is worth around
1,000 USD) but maybe 500 USD is a feasible amount for people who made
substantial contributions recently.
I gave up insisting on this subject since nobody ever asked for a
reimbursement even though I had taken care of discussing rules and
amounts for three or four events in the past. But if there is interest I
will be very happy to revive this effort, and make sure that some more
people can attend ApacheCon.
As for the entrance fee (the conference ticket), I don't know how it
works, but I know that one can get a discount by being available for
assistance to speakers (e.g., microphone/projector setup) and similar
tasks. This should be checked directly with Rich Bowen (apache id:
rbowen) since I haven't read about it on the mailing lists.

Andrea.
