I've been told that a lot of students especially
the CAs from IEP have
applied.
I've also heard that there is 30% reservation of scholarships for South
East Asia.

Hi all,
Wikimania is the annual international conference of Wikimedians
,
jointly hosted by the local team ( usually local
chapter) and the
Wikimedia
Foundation.
The previous conferences were held in Frankfurt, Germany (2005),
Boston, USA
(2006), Taipei, Taiwan (2007), Alexandria, Egypt
(2008), Buenos Aires,
Argentina (2009), Gdańsk, Poland (2010), and Haifa, Israel (2011).
This year, it is to be held in Washington DC, United States of America,
on
July 12-14 , 2012.

I have attended the Wikimanias in Gdansk and Haifa, along with several
other
Wikipedians from India.
http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Wikimania2011
I highly recommend everyone to apply and attend Wikimania !
Like every year, The Wikimedia Foundation is offering a limited number
of
scholarships to offset the cost of select
individuals' attendance at
Wikimania.
Both full and partial scholarships are available for Wikimania 2012:
Full scholarships will award round trip travel, dorms
accommodations and
registration.
Partial scholarships will subsidize up to 300€ of travel expenses.
Scholarship recipients have to bear themselves the additional costs of
taxis, visa & travel agent charges etc.
More Information :

Apply here :
https://secure.wikidc.org/wm/schols/
Deadline : 16 Feb 2012
Around 30 % of the scholarship are allocated to Asia & Pacific, so
there are
more chances of scholarship applications from
India to be selected. :)
Please note that the selection is mostly based on the merit of the
applications.
One of the common mistakes that Wikimedians in India make is that we
aren't
enough vocal of what we do. So please do write in
detail about your
Wikimedia activities.
Please feel free to forward this to various language and city mailing
lists
and encourage other Wikimedians to apply.
All the best wishes!
Regards
Tinu Cherian
