Dear Wiki Community,
*Wikimania: The Festival Edition!* will be taking place on *11-14 August 2022*.
Wikimania is the Wikimedia movement's annual conference celebrating all the free and open knowledge projects made possible by the volunteer community.
This year's Wikimania will bring Wikimedians together to create, celebrate and connect, virtually and with in-person components. We are super excited to let you know that *the* *Program submissions and grant applications are open today!* For programming, we are looking for sessions that are fun, regionally-focused, and welcome newcomers. For grants and scholarships, we will be providing affiliate grants to fund the organizing of Wikimania local events, and also offering scholarships for individual attendees to enable their participation in Wikimania 2022.
Please https://diff.wikimedia.org/2022/05/09/wikimania-2022-grants-and-program-submissions-open/read our post on Diff https://diff.wikimedia.org/2022/05/09/wikimania-2022-grants-and-program-submissions-open/ for everything you need to know.
Thanks and looking forward to seeing you all at Wikimania!
Antoni Mtavangu (on behalf of the 2022 Wikimania COT)
