Caros,
Como já devem saber, o Wikimania 2011 será em Haifa, Israel. Lembro que o prazo para os pedidos de bolsas termina no dia 31 de janeiro. Nesse ano, haverá a possibilidade de bolsas parciais, além de um incentivo à participação feminina.
Em paralelo, pensei que talvez fosse interessante uma organização em torno de projetos/eventos para arrecadarmos doações e tentarmos levar mais participantes ao evento. Uma espécie de captação direta, tal qual havíamos definido como modelo de funcionamento do capítulo. Será que funciona?
Abraços,
Pietro
