Fwd: [Wikimania-l] Scholarships for people whose visa were declined
by Nkansah Rexford 11 Aug '17

11 Aug '17

If your visa application was denied this year for Wikimania, guess what! You're automatically joining next year's Wikimania. Now you know you've been accepted to Wikimania 2018 in South Africa, I think we all have 365 days to get our Visa. I'm yet to learn any embassy in the world with more than a year visa application waiting time. ZA it is! Nice move from the WMF. Thanks Katherine. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: *Andy Mabbett* <andy(a)pigsonthewing.org.uk> Date: Friday, August 11, 2017 Subject: [Wikimania-l] Scholarships for people whose visa were declined To: "Wikimania general list (open subscription)" < wikimania-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, Wikimedia Mailing List < wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Katherine Maher just announced at Wikimania 2017 that all scholarship recipients who were unable to obtain a visa, will be automatically granted a scholarship for Wikimania 2018. -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk _______________________________________________ Wikimania-l mailing list Wikimania-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org <javascript:;> https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimania-l

Dear all, I hope you are well. I’m reaching out because, as we finish the last cycle of the Movement Strategy process, I wanted to ask how you feel about having a check-in meeting this Sunday, August 6th (similar to our previous Global Reach Office Hours) for us to get together and talk. I know this is a busy time for us all, but I want to make sure your voice continues to be heard, represented, and to for you to know you have an open line of communication through me into the strategy team if you want it. Please let me know if you are OK with having a meeting this *Sunday, August 6th at **17:30 UTC (20:30 Amman, 19:30 Joburg, 18:30 Lagos).* As always, please do not hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions. Thanks, Jack

Wiki Loves Africa : funding request / Les sous
by Florence Devouard 03 Aug '17

03 Aug '17

Hello everyone Now that Wiki Loves Earth is mostly over... I think it is time to think and plan Wiki Loves Africa 2017 :) As a reminder, this year, 5 countries can ask funding in the same manner than last year (Tanzania, Uganda, Ethipia, Zimbabwe, and Malawi), should they decide to participate. Isla contacted them directly. All other countries should ask funding through a Rapid Grant: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid Please, do it at the earliest convenience. Even if Rapid Grant is granted rapidly (eheh, love that), it will take a little while and additional time is needed for the money to get in. As a reminder, WLAf will be hold in October-November, so grant request should be done now. If you plan to participate, please also mention it here : https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Africa_2017#Participating_countr… If you need help, please get in touch ! ------- Bonjour Côte d'Ivoire, Cameroun, Tunisie, Algérie... les demandes de financement pour WLAf devraient se faire ces jours ci pour que l'argent vous parvienne dans des temps raisonnables. Si vous avez besoin d'un coup de main sur le brouillon de la demande, je suis prête à vous aider. N'hésitez pas à me demander. Flo
