is there someone who will be looking at/organising bulk flight
discounts with carriers who service many countries in this region?
we should try to estimate numbers of attendees from each country.

Hi guys,
There's talk right now on the Facebook group about a proposed Asian Wikimedia meeting, similar to the Central and Eastern Europe meeting held last year in Belgrade. What do you guys think?
For reference, information on the CEE meeting may be found here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_CEE_Meeting_2012.
Regards,
Josh

Dear Wikimaniacs,
We are now calling for a scholarship review committee.
The scholarship review committee is an important and diverse group of
volunteers who help to run the scholarship program.
The main duties of the committee members prior to Wikimania 2013 are:
* Assistance in determination of scholarship applicant requirements.
* Assurance of due consideration and speedy response time to Wikimania
scholarship applications.
* Work with the local team.
We are looking for Wikimedians from all over the world, who are:
* Fluent in written English.
* Good communication skills.
* Discretion and ability to handle confidential applicant information,
and objectively assess candidates.
* Willing to review scholarship applicants in early 2013.
* Either:
** Prior attendance at Wikimania.
** Strong knowledge of cross-project Wikimedia community.
You will be working remotely. While we hope that scholarship review
committee members will enjoy Wikimania 2013 by giving significant
input to it, the local team cannot guarantee financial support for the
committee members' travel expenses.
If you're interested to serve on the scholarship reviewing committee,
please send us an email at wikimania(a)wikimedia.hk . If you have any
queries, please don't hesitate to ask us.
Deadline to apply is Tuesday, December 11, 2012.
The local team will contact all candidates between November and
January; the list of scholarship committee members will be announced
in January.
Yours sincerely,
Simon Shek
Community coordinator, Wikimania 2013 / Wikimedia Hong Kong

There was a proposal for this blackout to occur on English Wikipedia for
readers the Philippines. Did that get closed?
Tagalog only accounts for 3.7% of readership from the Philippines.

Are other websites blacking out in the Philippines?

Hello,
The Tagalog Wikipedia community is considering a blackout in protest of
the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012. Here is an English translation of

NOTE: Please encourage all the community to join Wikipediang Tagalog talk
about the proposed pagsasansala (blackout) of Wikipediang Tagalog against
Republic Act No. 10175, or the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012. Please
