Hello everyone,
We will be doing another Cape Town Wiki meetup on the 7th December. We are
trying out a new location again so please note the venue change. OpenUp
<https://openup.org.za/> has very kindly let us use their downstairs space
at the Code Bridge in Newlands
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newlands,_Cape_Town> which is very near to
Claremont <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claremont,_Cape_Town> train
station and taxi rank. It also has ample free parking in front of the
building. Also located nearby is Cavendish Square. Code Bridge is located
in the bridge (hence the name) that allows Campground Street to cross both
the railway line and Letterstedt Road.
This is the same location as the Wikimedia ZA 5-year strategy workshop and
AGM happening on the 14th and 15th December respectively. I will send out
another email about that now.
The parking and building can only be access by the Helmlock Street /
Letterstedt Road entrance. Parking is free.
See the location on the map to the right.
In summary the details are:
Date: Saturday the 7 December
Time: free to arrive anytime between 10:00 - 14:00
Location: Code Bridge <https://codebridge.org.za/>, 1 Thicket St,
Newlands, Cape Town, 7700
As always the meetup is open for everyone to join. So if you or anyone you
know as an interest in learning more about free knowledge or just want to
talk about it then please join us.
For more information please see the event page on Wikipedia here:

Cheers,
Douglas.

Subject: [Wikimania-l] Scholarship for 2020 Wikimania now open
To: Wikimania general list (open subscription) <
wikimania-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Wikimania is fast approaching, this year it'll be held in Bangkok and as
always the Wikimedia Foundation has a limited number of opportunities to
assist people to attend. There are two types of scholarships the first
being a full scholarship which covers, travel, accommodation, and
registration, the second a partial scholarship that covers accommodation
and registration.
This year for the first time East, South East Asia, and Pacific (ESEAP) as
collaboration between the region we'll be your host for Wikimania. The
region has placed a high importance on collaboration and knowledge sharing
this years Wikimania program will reflect that. Our theme is;
*Power of Diverse Collaboration*
*Sharing knowledge brings people together*
How does this impact on scholarship? ESEAP is looking for people who are
prepared to share their knowledge to help develop potential future
leaders. We'll be looking for two broad areas of contributions, from those
who have successfully developed programs, and those newer contributors who
want to develop their skills to do more but have never been to a Wikimania
to broaden their support networks.
As you apply please agree to share your details with the local affiliate
should they also have scholarships available. When answering questions if
you have urls to reports, dashboards, and events please provide them.
Rather than writing lots of words again let your past recordings speak.
On behalf of the ESEAP community, and the Scholarship committee we look
forward to seeing you in Bangkok in August.

Hello everyone,
I looks like applications for scholarships to attend this year's Wikimania
will be opening up on the 17 February. These scholarships are paid for by
the Wikimedia Foundation and not the Wikimedia ZA chapter. We strongly
encourage people to apply for these scholarships so we have as many South
Africans as possible attending Wikimania.
Regards,
Douglas.
