What is the Project Teams Gathering (PTG)?

The Project Teams Gathering (PTG) is an event organized by the OpenStack Foundation (OSF) and will be held in the Expo Centre in Shanghai on November 5 - 8, 2019. It provides meeting facilities allowing the various technical teams contributing to OSF projects (be it code, documentation, operator or user feedback) to meet in-person, exchange and get work done in a productive setting. It lets those various groups discuss their priorities for the upcoming months, assign work items, iterate quickly on solutions for complex problems, and make fast progress on critical issues. The co-location of those various meetings, combined with the dynamic scheduling of the event, make it easy to get specific people in the same room to discuss a specific topic, or participate in multiple team meetings. Evenings allow for team social interactions and relationship building.

Is there any financial support available for travel/accommodation?
