In addition, there might be other better ways of handling issues for such
applicants wanting to attend the Wikimania other than just sending a signed
letter to be given to the embassy.
Perhaps, the Wikimedia UK, sending specific details of those they've
awarded scholarship to the originating country's embassy will give the
embassy a fair idea of the one applying.
Details like, passport details, itenary ticket, accommodation, length of
stay, arrangements to bring the attendee back, track record of returnees of
such conferences, and what the embassy should do to wikimedia uk if it
happens the person doesn't back.
And these details should be sent directly to the embassy.
Informing the embassy beforehand is far professional looking and indicates
seriousness on the part of the inviting organization, than emailing a
letter for the applicant to hold in his hand and give to the embassy.
I'm in Ghana, and I know how it is on the ground. I went through hell to
get visa from south Africa embassy. The UK can be 5x worse.
If the best the inviting organization can do is send a letter, then there's
little the applicant here can do.

Do the invitation letter really change a thing? I will be surprised to see
a consular waive all those requirements because of a 1-paged white paper
with black in on, signed by an organization called Wikimedia UK.
For instance, in Ghana, consulate don't care who or what is inviting you,
nor even take delight in reading the letter.
If the requirements say get a certain amount and or fulfil certain
requirements, please get that with you.
Consular even reject visa from applicants invited by United Nations, so I'm
still wondering how much impact a letter can do.
Get your documents right. Its not easy, but it'll save you from
disappointments.

At Wikimania 2013 the Wikidata team produced these cute little A5 leaflets
that were really useful - they had a brief overview of the project, and
then a bunch of entrypoints and contact details. The best thing about them
was that you could slip them in your pocket, so when you were next at a
computer you'd remember you were interested and could find the relevant URL.
This nicely also avoids the task of trying to fit the entire project onto
one piece of paper; it's just an introduction and a physical reminder. As
we all know, the real action happens online. I'm working on creating a
template form that any project, big or small, can fill in, which the
Wikimania team will then have designed up into booklets and print and
present in the main foyer at Wikimania.
I think this is a nice alternative to posters. I'm going to great lengths
to make Wikimania 2014 a very laptop friendly event, and I think leaflets
suit this experience better.
You can see the design of the wikidata booklet, and sign up to be notified
of when I've got the template ready to go, at

dear all,
Wikimedia initiatives/activities/experiences/tools/organizations are now incredibly numerous, and panels at Wikimania are reaching an almost unmanageable number (for attendees). why not creating posters?
posters are a simple presentation tool largely used in academia. it is literally a poster (A3 or larger), which presents an overview of a project/activity/experience/thing in a short and comprehensive way. basically they include an abstract, an image (photo, visual representation, graph...), links to further documentation (it can also be a QRcode which links to a video), credits, timeframe and contacts.
The can be made available online (also with an editable format which allows translations), they can be used as slides, and they can be printed and used for all sorts of exhibitions (in a school, during an event...).
The possibility of submitting posters at Wikimania was already possible in previous Wikimania editions, but it didn't generate an habit and probably it didn't work very well (maybe it was not the right time). now there are structured chapters and affiliates, people working consistently in education, GLAMs and outreach, programs at WMF, and a desire to let other people know what is going on.
we are thinking of include an exhibition of posters within our Wikimania bid[1] (it allows to reduce the number of panels, to allow people to share their experience even if they don't attend and to cross rapidly things you don't know jet). I'm also working with Wikimedia CH and Wikimedia Italia to prepare an event and exhibition in Lugano in Spring 2014[2] which includes an expo of posters of successful experiences in GLAM partnerships; this event could be a pilot to test the creation and use of posters.
To collect the information we can make a form with limited number of words and centralize the editing; or we can make a graphic template available; or we can create a team of people who summarize already available information from online documentation. i think visual consistency can be an asset.
what do you think? do you think it is a relevant format? anyone willing to help? anyone has an idea on who can set a graphic template for the posters? on meta you find a draft page about posters[3]
thank you

That reminds me - we are having a large exhibition space at Wikimania 2014,
details to be announced in coming weeks.

Everyone,
I would like to invite submissions[0] proposing presentations, panels,
tutorials and workshops for Wikimania 2014 in London this coming August.
Note that the deadline is the end of March; we hope to have final decisions
about the programme by the end of April.
Additionally, I would be delighted to have any additional volunteers for
the programme committee[1], which will be finalised shortly.
