Hi, I am new to Wikipedia and have made a few edits so far. However, I am running into some difficulties and one of the editors suggested I look into hooking up with some others, hopefully in person. I live on the north side of Chicago. Is it possible for someone to meet me, say at a Starbucks. I would bring my laptop. Thanks in advance. Best, Nancy Rosenstock

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Kevin Payravi <kevinpayravi(a)gmail.com> Date: Sun, May 12, 2024 at 6:24 PM Subject: [Wikimediaus-l] WikiCon North America 2024: Scholarship apps + program submissions now open! To: Wikimedians Active in Local Regions of the United States (WALRUS) < wikimediaus-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Hello, WikiConference North America is excited to share that the 2024 conference will be taking place in Indianapolis, Indiana, United States! Our annual Culture Crawl will take place on October 3, followed by conference programming from October 4-6. Our theme will be "Crossroads", inspired by the Indiana state motto and also alluding to the multiple meanings of the word—as the place where Wikimedians from across the continent cross paths, as well as what we hope will be a turning point for participants. Please visit the conference website for more information: https://wikiconference.org/wiki/2024/Main_Page If you are interested in attending, please read on for scholarship information and program submissions. We are now accepting scholarship applications through May 31. Any active Wikimedian in North America is eligible to apply to have their travel and/or accommodations covered for the event. If interested, please visit https://scholarships.wcna.wiki to apply. We are also accepting program submissions through May 31. If you'd like to submit a lecture, panel, roundtable, workshop, lightning talk, or other meetup, please visit https://submissions.wcna.wiki. For those interested in attending, registration will be opening soon, and you will receive another email when it does. For your reference, pricing will be identical to last year. Individual tickets are $25, and professional tickets for those attending on behalf of a company or organization are $100. All proceeds will go towards this and future WikiConference North America events. We will also offer free tickets to enable everyone to participate regardless of financial constraints. If you plan to travel to the conference from outside of the United States, please review entry requirements through the U.S. Visa portal ( https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resour…). Document applications and renewals can take a while during this busy travel season, so you're encouraged to check them now! If you have any questions, please reach out to the team at info(a)wikiconference.org. You can also chat with organizers and attendees in our Telegram group at https://chat.wcna.wiki/. Thank you! On behalf of the WCNA organizing team, Kevin Payravi (User:SuperHamster) _______________________________________________ Wikimediaus-l mailing list -- wikimediaus-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe send an email to wikimediaus-l-leave(a)lists.wikimedia.org
