== I am unsure if I meet some of the above criteria. Should I apply to attend Grow Tunisia? == | |||
YES! When in doubt, apply. We have a panel of Reps and other community members who will be reviewing each application, so they can determine if applicants fit the requirements so you don’t have to. | |||
== I have special circumstances when it comes to the geographic and/or age requirements (IE. currently live in different geographic area than originally from; part of multiple communities; under 18 but a recognized core contributor). Should I apply to attend Grow Tunisia? == | |||
YES! If you have special circumstances, please note them on your application and we will review on a case-by-case basis. | |||
If you are unsure if you should apply to this event or one of the upcoming regional events, please apply to Grow Tunisia. If you are not accepted, THEN apply to the other regional event in question. | |||
Again, we have a panel of Reps and other community members who will be reviewing each application, so they can determine if applicants fit the requirements so you don’t have to. | |||
== When are the applications to attend due? == | |||
The deadline to apply to attend Grow Tunisia is '''MONDAY, AUGUST 4'''. | |||
== After I submit my application, what will happen? When will I find out if I've been accepted to attend? == | |||
A panel of select Reps and community members will be reviewing every application on a case-by-case basis to determine if the applicant fits the event invite criteria. The panel will also be making their selections with the goal of inviting a diverse group of contributors from different backgrounds, interests and skill sets. They will also be working to ensure there is a balanced amount of attendees from each functional and regional area. | |||
After the panel reviews the applications, we will be sending out invitations and regrets + next steps for uninvited applicants by Monday, August 11. Invited applicants will then have one week to register for the event. | |||
