મિત્રો, ભાઈઓ, બહેનો અને વડિલો,
તમને ખ્યાલ તો હશે કે ખાસ્સા ત્રણ વર્ષના વિરામ પછી આ વર્ષે વિકિમિડિયાનું
વાર્ષિક સંમેલન - 'વિકિમેનિયા' ઓગસ્ટ મહિનામાં સિંગાપુર ખાતે યોજાઈ રહ્યું છે.
આ વિકિમેનિયામાં ભાગ લેવા માટે છાત્રવૃત્તિ (આર્થિક સહાય) આપવામાં આવે છે જેના
માટે અરજી કરવાની મુદત આજથી શરુ થાય છે. આજથી લઈ ને તે ૫ ફેબ્રુઆરી સુધી આપ
નીચેના ઇમેલમાં આપેલી કડી પર જઈ ને અરજી કરી શકો છો.
અરજી કરતી વખતે એ વાતનું ધ્યાન રાખશો કે પૂછેલા પ્રશ્નોના ઉત્તર સવિસ્તૃત આપવા
અને તમારા વિષે કે તમે કરેલા કામો/યોગદાનોનાં ગુણગાન ગાવામાં શરમસંકોચ ન
રાખવાં. એ સંદર્ભે કોઈ પણ માર્ગદર્શનની જરુર હોય તો વિનાસંકોચ મારો સંપર્ક કરી
શકો છો, હું ભૂતકાળમાં આ છાત્રવૃત્તિ માટેની અરજીઓનાં મૂલ્યાંકન સાથે
સંકળાયેલો રહ્યો છું એટલે મારા અમુભાવને આધારે તમને માર્ગદર્શન આપી શકું તેમ
છું.
જાળવજો,
ધ.સુ. વ્યાસ

To: <wikimania-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hello everyone,
Scholarship applications for Wikimania 2023 are now open until Sunday, 5
February! Wikimania 2023 will be held in Singapore from 16–19 August. This
year, we aim to be inclusive for Wikimedians worldwide in line with this
edition’s theme: “Diversity. Collaboration. Future.”
Scholarships for Wikimania 2023 are available in different types for
traveling to Singapore:
-
Full scholarship: travel, accommodation, and registration are provided;
-
Partial scholarship: accommodation and registration are provided.
All scholarship recipients are covered by Wikimedia Foundation Travel
Insurance Policy.
Whereas scholarship recipients have historically written a report to
fulfill scholarship requirements, this year they will have the opportunity
to do volunteer tasks during Wikimania. The Committee will work with
recipients to find a volunteer role that suits each recipient’s skills and
experience. Scholarship recipients opting to volunteer rather than write a
report will be asked to volunteer for 2 hours over the course of Wikimania,
with the option to volunteer more hours if desired.
Apply now! <https://wikimediafoundation.limesurvey.net/799477> Make sure to
share your experiences during your Wikimedia movement journey and support
with links. Newcomers to Wikimedia will be considered. The deadline to
apply for a scholarship is 5th February, end of the day anywhere in the
world. Applicants will be notified of decisions in May.

Dear all,
I hope you are doing well. Glad to announce that CIS-A2K is going to
conduct an event, Indic Wiki improve-a-thon 2022, for the Indic language.
It will run from 15 December to 5 January 2023. It will be an online
activity however if communities want to organise any on-ground activity
under Improve-a-thon that would also be welcome. The event has its own
theme Azadi Ka Mahatosav which is based on a celebration of the 75th
anniversary of Indian Independence. The event will be for 20 days only.
This is an effort to work on content enrichment and improvement jointly
online and offline. We encourage the communities to plan a short activity
under this event and work on the content on your local Wikis. The event is
not restricted to a project, anyone can edit any project by following the
theme. The event page link is here
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Indic_Wiki_Improve-a-thon_2022>. The list
is under preparation and will be updated soon. The community can also
prepare their list for this improve-a-thon.
'''Note''': There will be a pre-event call on Saturday. During the call, we
can discuss the idea of the event, how communities and individuals can
participate, FAQ etc.
The call link is here:
