Hi All,
Everybody with exception of WMF Staff joining Wiki Indaba 2017 has to be
at least on a half scholarship, that takes care of your conference and
transportation fees, feeding, conference packages and night activities.
Which is why Raphael stated that Florence and Alice can still join the
shuttle from the airport to the Hotel.
Hope this explains....
Cheers,
Felix Nartey

I'm a bit curious here.
Was there an opening for non-scholarship individuals to join the Wiki
Indaba 2017?

Mine was not a scholarship either. I'm due to arrive the 19th from British
airways around 7:30PM.

Hi
Given that my plane ticket was not a scholarship, is there a transport
plan for me ?
If not... can it be arranged ?
If not... could you provide me with a recommandation on how to reach the
hotel at a reasonable expense ?

Hi Ingo,
Thanks for you genuine concerns. A document is currently being prepared
and should be shared with all participants by the weekend.
It will contain all that you are asking for, however just to clear the
air, there will be a shuttle to convey all participants from the airport to
the hotel of stay. You arrival dates have been shared to allow the shuttle
driver know when to come to the airport. Also there will be some team
members to direct you to the bus, just look around for an individual(s)
holding a card with the inscription *Wiki Indaba 17*.
Hope this helps....
Cheers,

Dear Felix, dear organizers
I am happy to hear (as surely all others are) that the preparations have
gone well! I think it will be helpful for all participants to have a
description of the place (adress, phone numbers of hotel and/or contact
person on the team) we have to go from the airport, what money to have
ready for taxi or what transport to use. Even if you plan to provide
transport it is still good to have that because something might go wrong
upon arrival (missing each other etc).
Cheers
