So let me spread the word now about some other upcoming deadlines: The scholarship deadline for Wikimania 2013 (Hong Kong, 7-11 August) is in one week: 22 February 2013 23:59 UTC <https://wikimania2013.wikimedia.org/wiki/Scholarships>. The talk proposal deadline is 30 April <https://wikimania2013.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions>. I also want to draw your attention to Open Source Bridge, Allied Media Conference, and the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing. These are conferences that are interested in empowering everyone, using technology, and have a focus on diversity and social justice. If you lead a session at one of these conferences, you are eligible to apply for Wikimedia Foundation's Participation Support subsidies for travel <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Participation:Support>. Last year, the open source and Wikipedia sessions at Grace Hopper and Open Source Bridge were very well-attended. Allied Media Conference: 20-23 June, Detroit, Michigan, USA. Call for proposals deadline: 8 March. http://alliedmedia.org/news/2013/02/01/its-time-propose-session-amc2013-rea… Open Source Bridge: 18-21 June, Portland, Oregon, USA. Call for proposals deadline: 9 March. http://opensourcebridge.org/blog/2013/01/2013-call-for-proposals-now-open/ Grace Hopper: 2-5 October, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. Call for proposals deadline: 15 March. http://gracehopper.org/2013/participate/call-for-participation/ Go ahead and submit stuff! And remember, it's okay to submit multiple proposals per conference. MediaWiki is going to apply to participate in Google Summer of Code again this year as a mentoring organization. Students aiming to participate should look at this timeline: https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/events/google/gsoc2013 and remember that their applications will be due on 3 May. In GSoC, college and graduate students work on open source projects remotely, mentored by skilled developers. Students who successfully complete the program receive USD5000 in total. And finally, if you're interested in attending AdaCamp in San Francisco 8-9 June 2013 (to work on supporting women in open technology and open culture), please fill out http://adainitiative.org/2013/01/interested-in-attending-an-adacamp-in-san-… and indicate whether you would need travel assistance. "...this is not a full application to attend AdaCamp San Francisco, just a way to gauge interest. We will contact you with application details when applications open."
