Saluton.
Ĝis la 8a de Oktobro eblas kandidatiĝi por esti en la Stipendia komisiono
de Vikimanio 2017. Detaloj en la suba mesaĝo.
Dum antaŭaj jaroj (kaj ŝipanoj denove), membroj de la komisiono ne rajtis
ricevi stipendion per la sama programo. Tial estas kamforarbo rekomendata
al homoj kiuj antaŭaj Vikimanion ne partoprenos aŭ ĝin pasos de alia fonto.
