communities. The WCI Core Organizing Team is thrilled to announce the
opening of the Applications for the Scholarships and Program submissions
are live now! Please find them on the Conference Meta page. The link to the
conference Meta page can be found here[1]. The applications will be open
from 11 November 2022, 00:00 IST, and the last date to submit is 27
November 2022, 23:59 IST.

Subject: [Wikimediaindia-l] WikiConference India 2023: Reminder for filling
community survey form and endorsement
To: <wikimediaindia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Greetings Wikimedians,
This email is a reminder that today is the last day to fill out the survey
form[1]. As of today, we have received 43 responses to the form, which will
be used to create a report for the grant proposal application. Although
today is the last date to fill out the survey form, we will be accepting
responses from members who are interested in joining the organizing team.
We also request you to go through the Meta-Wiki page[2] created for initial
conversations and endorsements to support if you are happy with the idea of
having the next WikiConference India in 2023.
Please note that we will be using the budget from the previous grant
proposal used for planning WCI 2020[3] and adjust the costs according to
the current situation. We will also be sharing the draft of the grant
proposal with you all shortly.
Looking forward to hearing from you and taking collective steps towards
having us all together in 2023!
Thanks & Regards,
Nivas, Nitesh & Neechalkaran

main hackathon taking place in a hybrid mode during 20-22 May 2022. The
event will take place in Hyderabad.
As we have mentioned in our previous email informing about the grant
proposal, the regional event will be in-person with support for virtual
participation. As it is with any hackathon, the event’s program will be
semi-structured i.e. while we will have some sessions in sync with the main
hackathon event, the rest of the time will be upto participants’ interest
on what issues they are interested to work on. The event page can be seen
at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Indic_Hackathon_2022.
In this regard, we would like to invite community members who would like to
