Wikimania 2013 videos
by Deryck Chan 28 Apr '14

28 Apr '14

Good evening Wikimaniacs! We now have a distributed effort by multiple volunteers in Hong Kong to upload all the video footage from Wikimania 2013 onto YouTube. If you gave a presentation or workshop at Wikimania (and haven't requested that we don't video you), keep an eye on WMHK's YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/WikimediaHK The plan is that all videos will be available by the end of February. We'd be grateful if you can watch your video and see if there are any defects, because we can't watch every second of the uploaded videos to check them! Deryck

Wikimania Budget (related to chapters and WMF)
by Itzik Edri 03 Apr '14

03 Apr '14

Hi, I know it may be too early to ask that, but I promise to send another notification related this issue in the coming months :) We started last year to make the Wikimania costs more transparent. Wikimania is our biggest and the most expensive project. To ask our self "how much Wikimania costs" we can't only look on the project budget, as the total cost involve also scholarships (from WMF and chapters) and delegations of the chapters and the WMF. We have tracking pages on Meta about Wikimania 2011<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2011/Budget>and Wikimania 2012 <http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2012/Budget> (sadly the organizer team of 2012 didn't updated their costs till now...), and I opened a new page for Wikimania 2013<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2013/Budget> . So again, I know to some of you this is too early to put the costs (although the size of the chapters and WMF delegation is known and could be update also now) - but if you can, do it now. If now, remember to do it what you have the numbers. The data requested is your chapter\wmf delegation<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2013/Budget#Delegations> and the number of scholarships<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania/Scholarships/2013>your chapters gave. Thanks, Itzik

Partial Scholarship like Wikimania 2013
by Carl Fisch 19 Feb '14

19 Feb '14

Dear friends, I've contacted the scholarship comitee a couple of days ago but nobody have sent an answer. After Wikimania in Hongkong I've booked and payed my flight to London. So I need only a place to sleep (dorm), because the hotels and B&B's are to expensive for me as a 100% volunteer. On the application form (scholarship request of the german language chapters) there was no space for comments. Last year you could choose between partial- and full scholarship...

Visa and money
by rupert THURNER 19 Feb '14

19 Feb '14

Hi, on wikimedia-gh there was a discussion about money needs in the bank account of people for getting a visa to attend wikimania. As the interested persons usually are students this might pose a problem. Do you have any plans how to deal with it? Rupert
