Hi all
I wanted to outline that applications to Wikimania Scholarship opened a
few days ago.
It is probably worth outlining these two points:
1. "Based on the applicant's home country, each applicant will be
categorized as either a Global North or Global South
<https://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/Global_South> applicant, with the
/total number of scholarships distributed between the Global North and
Global South being set at 25% and 75% respectively."
/2. Unlike in previous years, activity within the Wikimedia movement
will be the main criteria for evaluation. Participation in non-Wikimedia
free knowledge, free software, collaborative or educational initiatives
is a plus but is no longer a requirement; individuals who solely
contribute to such areas are no longer encouraged to apply. Please see
the FAQ for more information on eligibility./
/If you were deeply involved in Wikimedia the past year and would like
to get the opportunity to talk about your activities in Mexico, to
listen to other participants experience and to build new projects, do
consider applying for a travel grant.

These WLAf pictures are quite exciting.

Interesting! Is there a summary available in English or French? Are you
in touch with Ibou? It would be great to have him here on the list.

Hello,
Cet article http://www.radioalgerie.dz/news/fr/article/20150120/27401.html
N'est pas foncièrement mauvais, il est même assez pertinent sur certains points mais passe totalement à côté des spécificités de Wikipedia en Français et en Arabe. Peut être une opportunité pour les wikimediens algériens de prendre contact?

The abbreviation, WLA which we know to be wiki loves Africa happens to
clash with another event known as Wiki loves Art.
Since wiki loves art begun before wiki loves Africa, its natural for the
Wiki loves team and or anyone referring to the event to use the
abbreviation, WLAf for the Wiki Loves Africa whiles WLA remains for the
Wiki Loves Art.
I hope that wouldn't be any difficult for us to do.
A friend drew my attention to that clash recently. Didn't notice that
myself.
Thanks.

Hi everyone!
The 4th annual WikiWomen's History Month is in March, coinciding with
Women's History Month. This event is cross-cultural, international, and
multi-lingual.
Please start planning your events to contribute content to Wikipedia and
related Wikimedia websites about women's history! You can post your events
and find resources on how to implement edit-a-thons and workshops here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiWomen's_History_Month
Any questions just let me know!
I look forward to your participation!
Sarah

Okay, so end of this month. I hope the time line on the meta page can be
updated accordingly.
