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>!
Best,

Subject: [Wikimania-l] Application for scholarship
To: <wikimania-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
I, Thaha Ibrahim Buhari, applied for scholarship for the conclave at Stockholm, Sweden during August 2019, from Chennai, India. I had mentioned my nearest airport as Chennai. Now I am leaving for USA on an urgent matter which needs my presence till October 2019.
Hence I request you to kindly change my nearest airport as George Bush International Airport, Houston, Texas, USA, if my application is considered.
with best regards,
M Thaha Ibrahim Buhari

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,
