I feel sorry for those whose visa applications were denied or could not be processed by the Canadian government in a timely manner.
I am of course disappointed that I was not on the list. A lot of people will go to a North America venue. It would have been an excellent opportunity to meet up again and discuss with the volunteer and WMF teams the important up coming changes to a certain en.Wiki policy I am working on, and it would have been the last distant Wikimania I could travel to. Perhaps if there is one in Asia or Western Australia I will be able to come along, but it obviously won’t be this side of my 70th birthday.
Regards,
Kudpung
Just a quick note for anyone who received a scholarship from the WMF to attend Wikimania '17 in Montreal next month. We will be sending you all a packet of information later this week via email with Travel Information, insurance card, and re-confirmation about your accommodations. If you have any questions concerning your scholarship, you can reach me or Irene Tait at:
Thank you,
Ellie Young
WMF Events Manager
