For those Wikimedians with cameras, particularly for those who go to
conferences like Wikimania where I believe that camera theft has happened
in the past, I'd like to make the suggestion that you consider purchasing
insurance for your cameras, lenses, and any related gear.
If you have homeowner's or renter's insurance then you may be able to
purchase supplemental coverage for your camera that will travel with you
outside of your home, possibly including international travel.
Take care,
Pine
All the notices to people who applied for either a full or partial
scholarship to attend Wikimania '16 have been sent. If you applied and
have not yet heard from the scholarship committee about the status, please
get in touch with me directly.
We will be announcing the scholarship recipients in the next week or two
once we have heard from everyone. Also, instructions regarding
registration for awardees, as well as registration for everyone else for
the Wikimania '16 will be opening in the next week or so. Stay tuned!
