Child care at Wikimania 2014
by Shields Gerald J 05 Mar '14

05 Mar '14

Dear Everyone, Child care is a touchy subject and I suggest using http://www.brighthorizons.co.uk/our-nurseries/city-child-nursery-london/abo… to suggest the parants locate a proper child care center on their own Thank you for your time and attention in this matter. I appreciate it.

However, this is the first time that it's been raised regarding Wikimania 2014, so a decisions would have to be taken based on the level of demand. It would be terrible for inclusivity if a large number of parents couldn't attend because of childcare issues.

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...

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

Wikimania 2014 updates on a separate mailing list?
by Michael Peel 11 Feb '14

11 Feb '14

Hi all, When looking for the dates that registration would open for Wikimania 2014, I was surprised to be asked at: https://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Registration to join a separate mailing list to be informed when registration will open, at: https://tinyletter.com/WikimaniaLondon Is there a reason why tinyletter (who apparently have something to do with mailchimp?) are being used for this, rather than this mailing list, or another Wikimedia-hosted list? Also, please could it be made clearer that subscribing to this mailing list passes personal information on to third parties? Thanks, Mike

Question for the WM 2014 London team
by Muhammad Yahia 08 Feb '14

08 Feb '14

Hi all, I received this question about visas for Iranian citizens and am passing it along: As it stands now, UK visa requirements for Iranian citizens is to have a bank account with (on average) 10000 USD or equivalent in the last six months, plus proof of ownership of a property in Iran, the documents have to be translated and notarized. Most of the volunteers interested in getting scholarship for WM or trying to arrange travel on their own are mostly young people who do not satisfy either conditions, is there something that the UK team can do about that? can they get confirmation that if they apply these requirements will be waived or something similar? Thanks! -- Best Regards, Muhammad Yahia
