This is a late update for those who don't know about Wikimania 2013
Hong Kong, and a gentle reminder for those who are already aware of
the annual Wikimedia conference that is being organized in Hong Kong
on 7-11 August 2013.  Scholarships to cover travel and living expenses
are available for long-term contributors of our projects.  If you are
a long-term contributor to Wikipedia or any other Wikimedia projects,
I would strongly recommend that you apply.  Looking forward to a
positive response, Anirudh.
