Not sure if this made it here already. Best, Lodewijk ---------- Mensagem encaminhada ---------- **Please Cross Post this on your Country List. This has been Cross Posted on various mailing lists so apologies if you have received it more than once** Hiya, We are please to announce that WMF has granted a few scholarships (maximum of 5) for persons outside of India to attend WikiConference India 2011 (WCI 2011 - http://meta.wikimedia.org/**wiki/WikiConference_India_2011<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConference_India_2011> **). WCI 2011 will take place in Mumbai, India between 18-20 November 2011. WCI 2011 is the first conference of its kind being held in India and is intended to become an annual national flagship event for Wikipedia/Wikimedia in the country. It is meant to provide a common platform for all Indian Wikimedians to meet and share their views, discuss challenges and exchange useful tips, best practices and other information. Anyone residing outside of India is eligible to apply, but since this is an India specific conference they would need to demonstrate how by being present at the conference they can help the movement in India or improvement of indic languages. It is also necessary that those receiving the scholarship present something at WCI 2011. The scholarships will cover Travel to and Fro Mumbai (economy), Accommodation (similar to what is being offered to Indian Scholars) and Visa fees (if you need one). Please do make your application as strong as possible given that there are few scholarships and we expect a huge number of applications: http://meta.wikimedia.org/**wiki/WikiConference_India_** 2011/Call_for_Participation<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConference_India_2011/Call_for_Participa…> Kindly note given that there is less than a month to go and that Visa applications etc. will take time, we have set an *application deadline of 23:59 IST on Saturday 22nd October 2011*. Only applications received before the deadline will be considered. Looking forward to hosting five of you at WCI 2011! -- Kind Regards, Pranav Curumsey Chairperson - Organising Committee WikiConference India 2011 _______________________________________________ cultural-partners mailing list cultural-partners(a)wikimedia.ch http://lists.wikimedia.ch/listinfo/cultural-partners

Congratulations!

Dear Wikimedia Bangladesh founders and supporters. Congratulations on getting recognized by the Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation as our newest Wikimedia chapter! My name is Asaf, and I work for the Wikimedia Foundation in San Francisco. I am in charge of the Wikimedia Grants program, as well as growing Wikimedia in the developing world. I would like to invite you to start planning your activities as a chapter, and to consider how you can make use of the help offered by the Wikimedia Foundation and the rest of the movement. The Wikimedia Grants program <http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Index>[1] is a way for you to fund mission-aligned activities, and you can submit a request for a grant, according to the guidelines in the Grants page linked below. Grants can help you start chapter programs such as outreach (recruiting new editors, educating Wikipedia readers, educating the press, changing attitudes toward Wikipedia among teachers and professors), partnerships (with educational organizations, including the government, with libraries, archives and museums [GLAM], with like-minded organizations [e.g. Free Software NGOs, Mozilla, Creative Commons]), events, and community meetups. In addition to giving you funding, the Foundation can send you some Wikipedia merchandise (pins, stickers, etc.) to give away in public talks and events. Finally, the Foundation is well-connected to Wikimedians around the world, and can most probably connect you with Wikimedians who share your interests, or have experienced challenges similar to yours, so I would like to personally encourage you to turn to us (and to me, specifically) for advice or help in any problem you come across. We look forward to seeing the Bangladeshi community grow and prosper, and would like to hear your thoughts on what it would take to achieve that, and how the Foundation can help. If you prefer, I am happy to have a voice conversation with a representative from your group. Please let me know what days and times are good for you, or contact me via one of the following: Skype: asafbartov Office phone: +1-415-8396885 ext. 6767 Mobile phone: +1-415-515-2092 I am in timezone GMT-7. I look forward to working with you, Asaf Bartov Wikimedia Foundation [1] http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Index -- Asaf Bartov Wikimedia Foundation
