Update on Wikimania proceedings
by Eric Luth 26 Apr '19

26 Apr '19

Hi all! A lot of you are probably waiting for the calls for submissions for Wikimania 2019 in Stockholm. We are happy to tell that this will be open in a very short while, and ask you to watch the conference wiki <https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2019:Submissions> for further information (though we will of course advertise it here too). This year the Call for Submissions will be a bit different than previous Wikimanias as, rather than being held through one central page and reviewed one central program committee, each Space will be requesting and reviewing submissions for their particular topic area. We are also happy to tell you that the Spaces for Wikimania are now chosen. They will be nineteen in total, and all in different ways relate to the Theme of “Stronger Together: Wikimedia, Free Knowledge and the Sustainable Development Goals. <https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2019:Theme>” The Leaders are currently preparing their pages on the Wiki, and the calls for submission for proposals will be launched when they are all ready. For anyone not clear about what “Space”, “Leader” and “Calls for submission” mean, please review the program design <https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2019:Program_design>!

Suggestion on details in scholarship emails
by Rehman Abubakr 18 Apr '19

Hello, I was a former Wikimania scholarship recipient. To put it briefly, the Wikimania experience was something that I deeply value and will forever cherish. Somewhat sadly though, it is only after quite some years after Wikimania that I actually realised the value of the scholarship award (in monetary terms), that too with loose estimates done by myself purely out of curiosity. Would it make sense to include the approximate total monetary value of the scholarship award (airfare, lodging, insurance, logistics, etc) within the scholarship award emails to the recipients? I feel this would give much deserving weight in the award itself, as I'm sure many of us isn't aware of the actual amount of resources that is put in a given person's award. Yours truly, Rehman Abubakr (Roy)<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Rehman> OTRS agent, Admin (English Wikipedia, Commons), Contributor (Wikidata, Meta) User:Rehman<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Rehman> | Talkpage<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Rehman> | rehman.wikimedia(a)live.com<mailto:rehman.wikimedia@live.com> | UG-LK<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Community_User_Group_Sri_Lanka/En…>
