Thank you Austin, Cary and Phoebe for your answers and dedication.

Just to clear our minds a little (and that is what I meant by "generally"), could you tell us, at least vaguely, which was the profile that the ones who got sponsored fulfilled? ( Amount requested, PCI, degree of contribution to WMF projects, other criteria)

I'm sorry if I may be pushing this issue, but as you can see, some of us are are a bit upset about the outcome.

About future sponsorship. Well, I must admit I didn't do much to get the wikimania more sponsors. As the upcoming wikimania is going to be held in my continent, I'll try to get my university (which is the largest in Latinamerica) to get involved, and I'll try to get in touch with some IBM reps for the continent. I think I may be able to afford that travel by myself, but count me in if you need volunteers for the scholarship committee.

Thank you all.
