* Closed: [Vancouver hackathon 2023](https://blog.freecad.org/2023/05/24/freecad-hackathon-11-13-august-2023/) - 11 to 15 aug 2023 - USD 500 grants, up to max USD 5000

### Potential Events

The FPA will continue to expand this program. The FPA will authorize travel grant money on a event-by-event basis by a regular vote of the general assembly. The criteria considered generally include:

* Is the event generally recognized as a legitimate gathering of FOSS
developers and users
* Will there be a significant representation of FreeCAD or CAD/Design users
* Will representation by FreeCAD developers and users generally benefit the
FreeCAD community by, for example clarifying requirements, increasing contributions, increasing donations, or building collaboration
* Will a lack of representation by FreeCAD developers or community members be
detrimental to
FreeCAD in any way.
* Is someone within the FreeCAD community willing to lead and organize FreeCAD
participation

We welcome suggestions for events that we can consider. Some suggestions that have already been received but not yet autorized include:
* [OSHWA summit](https://www.oshwa.org/2023/08/21/open-hardware-summit-2024/)
* [IndiaFOSS](https://indiafoss.net/)
* [PyCon India](https://in.pycon.org/2024/)
* [FOSS Hacks](https://fossunited.org/fosshack/2023)
