*insulting*?

Woow that's a strong word there. But I think similar discussions like these spawn up kinda every year just after the scholarships are out. Then fade out gradually. 

And by the way, please don't take this seriously:

I doubt its ever been used, although its nicely typed there.

Okay - so - of 170 potential full and partial scholarships offered by the WMF, Africa got 4. 

FOUR. 

that is 0.02% of what was on offer. 

Mexico I could understand was difficult to access.  BUT you couldn’t get closer to Africa than Italy, if you tried.

That is just not acceptable.

I got a partial scholarship which means I wont have to pay to be at the conference venue but I will have to pay for my own flight.

Hello All

Just want to do a quick head count to see who got a scholarship to attend Wikimania. Please just let us know who got one, and who didn’t. 

thanks!
