Hello everyone,
As many of you know we will be having the Wikimedia South Africa Annual General Meeting on Saturday, 18 November 2023. The event will be held in Johannesburg (exact location to be confirmed). In the three days before the event (15-17 Nov) we will be hosting a workshop to create the chapter's next 5 year plan. This is a very important event for the chapter because the 5 year plan will lay out our activities for the foreseeable future and determine our funding and project priorities.
Although you will be able to attend both events digitally we recognise that there is no substitute for being involved in-person. As such we have a sponsorship program for a limited number of Wikimedia South Africa chapter members from outside of Gauteng to participate in these events. If you are interested in attending the workshop and/or AGM in person, live outside of the Gauteng area, and are a chapter member then please consider this attendance sponsorship.
For people within Gauteng, you may still access the travel sponsorship component to cover the costs of your travels to and from the event location.
If you would like to access the sponsorship then please fill out this form: https://forms.gle/9F7BtMR4gK9WPxcm9
If you have any queries about this process or if you are a chapter member then please contact Shupai Mchuchu shupai.mchuchu@wikimedia.org.za.
Regards,
Douglas Scott
