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

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,
