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* &lt;andy(a)pigsonthewing.org.uk&gt; 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&gt;gt;, Wikimedia Mailing List < wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org&gt; 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
