Dear Wikimedians! Apologies if this has already been circulated, but
please do take a moment to read about the recently announced Bassel
Khartabil Memorial Fund and Fellowship:
https://creativecommons.org/2018/02/07/bassel-post/https://twitter.com/creativecommons/status/961244979988455425
These two separate programs invite applications from free culture
activists, researchers, artists, and much more to help carry on the
incredible work Bassel was involved in. Projects ranging from $1,000
USD to $10,000 USD will be considered for the Memorial Fund, and the
Fellowship provides a $50,000 USD stipend as well as funds for other,
related expenses.
Wikimedians are encouraged to apply and to spread the word. The last
date for review of applications is March 24, 2018.
Please help us spread the word, particularly if you are actively
involved in the Middle East / North Africa region.
Thanks in advance!

Subject: [Wikimania-program] Wikimania 2018 Call for Submissions
To: "Wikimania general list (open subscription)" <
wikimania-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, Wikimedia Mailing List <

Dear Wikimedia community,
We are pleased to announce that Wikimania 2018 is now accepting proposals
for workshops, discussions, presentations, or research posters to give
during the conference. To read the full instructions visit the event wiki
and click on the link provided there to make your proposal:
https://wikimania2018.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions
The deadline for submissions is 23:59 UTC on *Sunday March 18, 2018*.
This is approximately 6 weeks away. Whether you are a community member of
one of the Wikimedia projects, or a fellow open content creator or
consumer, we welcome your proposal for a session.
*Theme*
This year, the conference will be taking place in Cape Town, South Africa,
where the organisers are giving this Wikimania a unique flavor — an
explicit theme based in African philosophy:
“Bridging knowledge gaps, the *ubuntu* way forward.”
Read more about this theme, why it was chosen, and what it means for the
conference program at the Wikimedia blog:
*https://blog.wikimedia.org/2018/02/05/wikimania-cape-town-ubuntu/
<https://blog.wikimedia.org/2018/02/05/wikimania-cape-town-ubuntu/>*
Throughout the conference program, this theme will be tightly held, but
loosely defined - in order to encourage a diverse range of responses to the
theme. It is our hope that this theme will give us the opportunity to
further our goal of creating the “sum of human knowledge”, by encouraging
greater diversity and inclusion in who participates and what we discuss at
Wikimania.
To learn more, and to make a proposal for the conference, please visit:
https://wikimania2018.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions
Please forward this announcement to other lists and groups across the
Wikimedia movement.
<https://wikimania2018.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions>
We look forward to reading your submissions. Sincerely,
*Program committee co-chairs Emna Mizouni, Felix Nartey, and Liam Wyatt.*
