Goodness, that is a lot indeed! We should find something to do with
the other applications -- they are likely great people whose energies
could be brought together in other ways. The limitations of a
physical conference are sometimes fun but not always necessary. SJ

Dear Wikimaniacs,
Hello again from the 2013 local team for a break from the Wikimania 2014
bid discussions!
Every candidate applying for Wikimania 2013 scholarships should have
received an email in the past two weeks saying either their application was
unsuccessful, or their application is still being considered. Commiserations
to all unsuccessful candidates - we hope we can still see you at Wikimania
and around the Wikimedia projects.
This year we received over 1200 applications for scholarships; about 700
made it past the first round. It is expected that a total of about 125 WMF
scholarships and 75 chapter scholarships will be allocated to the best
applicants among applicants who advanced past the first round. Candidates
should hear about the decisions regarding their applications by the end of
April.
Don't hesitate to contact the Wikimania 2013 local team at wikimania-p
[at] wikimedia.hk or the scholarship team at wikimania-scholarships [at]
wikimedia.org .
With best wishes,
Deryck Chan
