Dear Wikimedia Community Members,
We’re so excited to share some updates with you around Wikimania 2021! We’ve been hard at work, getting things running and putting things in place and realized we have so much we’d like to share with you. Thank you for your flexibility and understanding, as we navigate through this rapidly moving ship.
1.
Wikimania 2021 will be happening! We’ve already announced the dates (August 13-17) but wanted to remind you - in case you had any doubts - that the first-ever virtual Wikimania will be happening - and we want you there! [1]
1.
We noticed that all though we’ve been going full speed on the back end at organizing Wikimania 2021, we haven’t updated you as frequently as we would like… So, we will be sending out a weekly update email to all of you on Mondays - until the event goes live. Which in case you were wondering, is in 3 months and 2 days! (Yes, that soon!)
1.
We will be having a Scholarship Program this year as well! We’d like to remove most barriers of participation for those who would otherwise not be able to join. More information will be coming soon around Scholarships - so stay tuned!
1.
This year's theme is: Celebrate 20 years of Wikipedia and the humans who make it happen. We will also be opening up submission proposals for sessions - you can apply as an individual, a collective or a Community Organization.
We are excited about all the work and progress happening so far to make this event happen. We're looking forward to hearing about your amazing session proposals to help bring Wikimania 2021 to life. We can't wait to convene to celebrate two decades of free knowledge.
Best Wishes,
Winnie Kabintie (User:Ms_Kabintie https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Ms_Kabintie), on behalf of the Wikimania 2021 Core Organizing Team.

I don't understand what is the purpose of the scholarship this year, there isn't to travel and no physical venue to host Wikimania, what is the purpose of the scholarship?

Dear Esteban,
I understand your concern. Allow me to clarify that even though this year's Wikimania is virtual, we plan to have increased participation. The scholarship program will be repurposed to facilitate participation in the virtual event.
We shall provide more information and guidance on this in the coming weeks.

Connectivity for starters, and owning devices that are capable of enabling a good summit experience. Not all volunteers are privileged to contribute to a virtual event in a comfortable way. The Internet can be expensive for video calls for many countries / regions in Africa and Asia. ᐧ

Thanks for your input Mohamed, you're right. Those are actually some of the areas the scholarship should help facilitate.
We shall update you more on this soon enough.

It's worth looking at the Wikicite e-scholarship model: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiCite/e-scholarship

The COT has identified 3 broad areas for scholarship support, Connectivity, soft support, and community support. Like the Wikicite link that Mike mentioned: we want to make it as light on bureaucracy as possible. We want to tailor it to the needs of as many people as possible with a priority for engaging people who haven't experienced wikimania.
Please keep putting out ideas as to the support that will benefit people we'll try to include as many options as possible

I agree child care should be one of the scholarship options.

Child care is likely to be another answer ?

Connectivity for starters, and owning devices that are capable of enabling a good summit experience. Not all volunteers are privileged to contribute to a virtual event in a comfortable way. The Internet can be expensive for video calls for many countries / regions in Africa and Asia. ᐧ

We’re so excited to share some updates with you around Wikimania 2021! We’ve been hard at work, getting things running and putting things in place and realized we have so much we’d like to share with you. Thank you for your flexibility and understanding, as we navigate through this rapidly moving ship.
Wikimania 2021 will be happening! We’ve already announced the dates (August 13-17) but wanted to remind you - in case you had any doubts - that the first-ever virtual Wikimania will be happening - and we want you there! [1]
We noticed that all though we’ve been going full speed on the back end at organizing Wikimania 2021, we haven’t updated you as frequently as we would like… So, we will be sending out a weekly update email to all of you on Mondays - until the event goes live. Which in case you were wondering, is in 3 months and 2 days! (Yes, that soon!)
We will be having a Scholarship Program this year as well! We’d like to remove most barriers of participation for those who would otherwise not be able to join. More information will be coming soon around Scholarships - so stay tuned!
This year's theme is: Celebrate 20 years of Wikipedia and the humans who make it happen. We will also be opening up submission proposals for sessions - you can apply as an individual, a collective or a Community Organization.
We are excited about all the work and progress happening so far to make this event happen. We're looking forward to hearing about your amazing session proposals to help bring Wikimania 2021 to life. We can't wait to convene to celebrate two decades of free knowledge.
Best Wishes, Winnie Kabintie (User:Ms_Kabintie https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Ms_Kabintie), on behalf of the Wikimania 2021 Core Organizing Team.

I fully agree, but also not just care for babies and kids, but also elderly and sick which are much more in danger in a pandemic.
