From the 101 people that has registered to the
Wikimedia Hackathon in
Zürich, 24 are requesting travel and/or accommodation sponsorship (a few
of them apparently by mistake)

**************************************************
The deadline for scholarship application is March
16th. Our goal is to
notify applicants by March 17th. Don't miss the deadline!

Five organizations are contributing sponsorship funds and, to be honest,
I still don't know exactly how these five entities will match the budget
available with a common list of accepted participants. Still, it is good
to see more Wikimedia organizations stepping in to support independent
developers, and I have no doubt that we will sort out the process in the
next days.
In order to help sharing common standards between organizations and also
between events, I have started a draft with principles and guidelines at

Your help is welcome, regardless of how selfish or altruistic your
motivations are. A good idea is always a good idea, especially when it
comes as an edit to a wiki page.
