Hello,
Hope this email finds you well. The preparation of Wikimania 2019 is going
on, and we hope to see enthusiastic participation from India this year as
well.
You know that in addition to the main Wikimania scholarship, there has been
a practice to offer scholarships to Wikimedians from India. The practice
was started by Wikimedia India, and currently, CIS-A2K is working on this.
CIS-A2K has consulted Wikimedia India Chapter and is happy to announce that
This year 2 Wikimedians from Indian will be given support to attend
Wikimania.
Following are the criteria:
1.
The participants are selected based on the points they received from
Wikimania selection committee set up by WMF. They shared the list with us.
2.
Applicants who received scholarship earlier and attended past Wikimanias
are not selected in favour of applicants who never got a chance to attend.
3.
We have ensured 1 female participation in this list.
Based on these criteria User:User:Indrajitdas and
User:User:Dhanalakshmi_.K._T for Wikimania 2019 are selected.
We have already contacted them and they have accepted the invitation. The
required documents have been sent to the Wikimedians, and hope they will
get their visa very soon.
We are unable to support a partial scholarship for budgetary constraints.
Thanks and Regards,
