[PyCon-AU-announce] Financial assistance applications are now open

[Brianna Laugher]

PyCon Australia offers a generous financial assistance programme, so that
some attendees and speakers have some -- or in rare cases, all -- of their
expenses such as flight, hotel and admission provided to them from the
conference budget.

We strongly encourages people to apply for financial assistance -- even if
we can’t cover all of your expenses, we will give you free or discounted
admission based on need.

Essentially, the financial assistance programme is the PyCon Outreach
programme -- it's the community holding up the community and making itself
accessible at this major event through these financial grants. It is the
very spirit of the conference: make the information, knowledge, friendships
and connection available to everyone.

The generous contribution of the Python Software Foundation has helped us
in offering this programme. Financial assistance is core to the mission of
the PSF -- The mission of the Python Software Foundation is to promote,
protect, and advance the Python programming language, and to support and
facilitate the growth of a diverse and international community of Python
programmers.

Applications close on Friday 30 June 2017 and you will receive a response
by 4 July. However applications will be approved progressively so please
apply early and your application may be approved early.

For details about what can be covered and a link to the application form,
