On a conversation with ViswaPrabha he confirmed that he got visa rejection from Canadian embessy so can't participate in this wikimania. 

He is holding a Canadian passport but got bad. 

Very sad to hear this.

We have  a waitlist from the original pool of people who made it into Phase 2 consideration by the Scholarship committee.   Those people were notified that they might be offered a scholarship as late as mid-July.  We have filled the people who couldn't attend for whatever reason after they accepted  the scholarship offer with names from there.

Excuse me for the blunt question. But are there any shortlisted candidates this time?

A fellow Wikimedian asked me this, and I though I might as well ask the same on this thread.

I'm sure there would be a lot of genuinely interested Wikimedians who would like to attend the conference, in lieu of the sheer number of rejected applicants. (with respect to the successful applicants who would not be able to make it, of course)

Thanks and regards,
