List of scholarship attendees
by Federico Leva (Nemo) 12 Jul '14

12 Jul '14

Hello, https://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Attendees is still basically empty. I've not yet decided whether to attend Wikimania this year; a major factor will be who I can meet/do something with there (together with accommodation cost). Therefore, WMF scholarship administrators, please paste the list of already-funded scholarship recipients (usernames) on the page. Knowing what bunch of wonderful Wikimedia volunteers already got selected will be very inspiring/compelling. (I believe WMF staff attendees were already decided as well? Chapter scholarships and affiliates' attendees can be added later.) Cf. * <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania/Scholarships/Vision_2015> * <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania/Scholarships/SWOT_2005-2014_and_g…> (read again if you missed past discussions and/or you're thinking of boycotting my summer planning ;) ).

Acceptance of proposal for Wikimania
by Cristian Consonni 06 Jun '14

06 Jun '14

Hi all, according to this page[1] acceptance of proposal for Wikimania session should have been sent out on April, 30th. Since I have made a submission[2] I was wondering if I may have missed some e-mails (including rejection e-mails, eventually). The schedule[3] does not give any additional information at the moment. Maybe the process of proposal approval is late? Do other people having submitted their proposal have some info? Is it just me? Thanks and ciao, C [1] https://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions [2] https://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions/The_encyclopedia_and_t… [3] https://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Schedule

Despite Itzik's effort, this is quite depressing: <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania/Comparative#Actuals> For 2008 and 2009 I extracted some information from WMF's form 990 a few years ago, it would be nice if someone did the same for later years. Nemo

After this date, the contents of the wiki will locked from editing and preserved as a time capsule. Please feel free to make any final edits to the wiki. In particular, for those who made presentations in Wikimania 2013, please check the video links on your submission pages and add links to presentation slides. If you're making a follow-up submission to Wikimania 2014, feel free to link to that too. The date of the wiki's closure is chosen to commemorate the souls that perished on that day 25 years ago in their quest for freedom. On behalf of the local team, we thank you for a great Wikimania in Hong Kong, and we hope to see many of you in London!

What's wrong with the registration?
by Shujen Chang 09 May '14

09 May '14

I saw there's no registration link on the registration page, only "Thank you for your patience. Enjoy the conference!". I checked the edit history, there was a link on the version at 15:35 of May 6, but the link was removed after about one hour. So is that link still available now? If not, when will the registration be reopen? -- Sincerely, Shujen Chang
