Hello,
We would like to know how to obtain a travel scholarship to Amsterdam Hackathon 2013.
We'll have a scholarship programme. We're working on getting that set up so we can open registration this week.
We are confused as Wikimedia events are out of scope for participation grant http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Participation_Grants#Wikimedia-organized_even...
and I read that the GlamCamp Amsterdam 2011 Travel Scholarships was withdrawn "*at request of WMF in order that the individual applicants can apply for the new Participation Grants system"*

GLAMcamp Amsterdam was supported by the WMF and several chapters. The organization of the GLAMcamp Amsterdam (which happened to include me) organized the scholarships. For the coming Amsterdam hackathon we'll do it the same way.
