The Chairman is booked to come on 9th and depart on 15 Jan, so it can't happen on 21 Jan. I am going to enquire about hosting it at Kenya School of Law. ~Abbas.

See: http://wikimania2011.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page. As always, there are limited scholarships given out to those who are in financial need. Scholarship applications will begin in Jan 1 - 31, 2011. Please see a mock application form so that you may have a feel of the questions that are typically asked: https://wmschols.wikimedia.ch/ I urge you guys to take your time in thinking of the answers that you'll give; since in Wikimania 2010, only 1 out of the 20+applicants from Kenya was granted the scholarship. Also, there were a total of over 2,500 applicants last year, and only 100 of them got the scholarships: so competition is very stiff!
