NZNOG 2008 Fellowships
The NZNOG Organising committee is trying something a little different this year and offering a small number of Fellowships to the conference. The aim of this is to provide assistance to those people that mightn't otherwise be able to come, but have a lot to offer to, or gain from, the NZNOG community.
The fellowships will cover up to four nights accommodation at the NZNOG hostel and the conference registration fee.
Five fellowship packages are being made available.
Criteria for applicants:
- They write a few paragraphs explaining why they need a fellowship to NZNOG08 and what they hope to get out of it, and otherwise convince us that they're not after a freebie for the sake of it being free.
- Their employer can't or won't cover them and they're having to cover costs personally or they're a student / unemployed.
- They have a history of involvement in the NZNOG community, or can demonstrate an intent to do so, or how attending an NZNOG community will benefit them.
- It will help greatly if they are presenting a talk (or intend to) and wouldn't be able to without some form of fellowship assistance
- They actually have to attend the NZNOG sessions, and not run off sightseeing or touring the local breweries!
Submissions will be evaluated by the NZNOG 2008 organising committee.
Email your submissions to prog08@nznog.org
Closing date for applications 23:59hrs Wednesday 19th December.
Successful applicants notified on Friday 21st December.
