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
