With the very kind assistance and support of the Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education, we are holding a workshop from 10-6 on Saturday, 27 August, 2011 at the Gnowledge Labs. <div><br></div><div>We will be developing a routine to sort through the 7070 applications for scholarships according to the rules set with discussions by the community for awards of the scholarships, the call for which was extraordinarily enthusiastic, reflecting the level of keen anticipation amongst persons interested in Wikimedia activities for a pathbreaking conference of this nature. We expect to substantially complete the task of sorting through the bulk of the applications submitted, helping us arrive at the final list of awardees, and generating stats that will provide a baseline for the future organisation of such important events.</div>

<div><br></div><div>The workshop will be open to all, except to persons who have already submitted an application for a scholarship to attend the conference. If you have submitted an application, therefore, please do not attend this workshop, but we welcome and look forward to an equally enthusiastic response for participation at this workshop from all in the community in Mumbai, who can spare a day for an exhilarating session. </div>

<div><br></div><div>Please note that the Gnowledge Labs has electrical and wireless net connectivity, but the workshop attendees must bring their own workstations (laptops, netbooks or tablets).   </div><div><div><br></div>

<div>We look forward to seeing you at the workshop.  </div>-- <br>Vickram<br><a href="http://communicall.wordpress.com" target="_blank">Fool On The Hill</a><br>
