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.
