Hello, https://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Attendees is
still basically empty. I've not yet decided whether to attend Wikimania
this year; a major factor will be who I can meet/do something with there
(together with accommodation cost).
Therefore, WMF scholarship administrators, please paste the list of
already-funded scholarship recipients (usernames) on the page. Knowing
what bunch of wonderful Wikimedia volunteers already got selected will
be very inspiring/compelling. (I believe WMF staff attendees were
already decided as well? Chapter scholarships and affiliates' attendees
can be added later.)

boycotting my summer planning ;) ).

Despite Itzik's effort, this is quite depressing:

For 2008 and 2009 I extracted some information from WMF's form 990 a few
years ago, it would be nice if someone did the same for later years.

Hello all,
Sorry to bother you all. I have, so far written three mails (or may be more) requesting for sending invitations for the visa purpose and still waiting for a reply. Can I request for make this process faster and send the invite letter so me and many like me who'd be waiting for it could apply?
Best!

Dear Wikimaniacs,
We would like to announce that the official wiki of Wikimania 2013,
http://wikimania2013.wikimedia.org , is scheduled to be closed on 4 June
2014. After this date, the contents of the wiki will locked from editing
and preserved as a time capsule.
Please feel free to make any final edits to the wiki. In particular, for
those who made presentations in Wikimania 2013, please check the video
links on your submission pages and add links to presentation slides. If
you're making a follow-up submission to Wikimania 2014, feel free to link
to that too.
The date of the wiki's closure is chosen to commemorate the souls that
perished on that day 25 years ago in their quest for freedom.
On behalf of the local team, we thank you for a great Wikimania in Hong
Kong, and we hope to see many of you in London!
With wiki-love,
Deryck
Global engagement coordinator, Wikimania 2013

I saw there's no registration link on the registration page, only "Thank
you for your patience. Enjoy the conference!".
I checked the edit history, there was a link on the version at 15:35 of May
6, but the link was removed after about one hour.
So is that link still available now? If not, when will the registration be
reopen?
