2022 WikiIndaba Conference Application
by Bobby Shabangu 21 May '22

21 May '22

Dear Antoni, Thank you for responding to our invitation to bid to host the 2022 WikiIndaba conference in Tanzania. We appreciate the time you took to put the application together as well as giving well thought of responses to our questionnaire. I need to inform you that you were one of the best candidates in the application process. However, due to small technicalities we unfortunately had to award the bid to another well deserving country. Kindly be informed that WISCom’s role also extends to providing non-financial support to African communities in areas where they struggle. In this regard, please feel free to reach out to us should you need to discuss your application further, and the areas you may need support in order to improve your chances of winning the bid next time. Kind regards, Bobby Shabangu Wiscom

WikiIndaba Conference Host 2022
by Bobby Shabangu 11 May '22

11 May '22

Dear Chen, I trust this email finds you well and safe. I'm reaching out to you on behalf of the WikiIndaba Steering Committee <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Indaba_Steering_Committee> (WISCom) regarding the next WikiIndaba Conference <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Indaba> host country for this year - 2022. We have just completed the bid selection process to choose the next host for the conference and Wikimedia Usergroup Rwanda emerged as the winner. Our process involved sending out invitations <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1_StfCSJkPBOP8mw3ocUGGQWRHcgR4DRDRW2BT-3_uE…> to all African affiliates to bid to host the conference. This was followed by a selection criterion which looked at several factors including the capacity to host the conference, regional rotation, if there were elections this year in their country, status of finance and reporting as well as their reason why they wanted to host. Despite all of these measures, we still want to find out from you if they are cleared or fit to receive funds from the Wikimedia Foundation? I need to indicate that we've already informed them that they will be hosting the conference. However, we still can reverse that decision should you give us a response contrary to our findings, especially regarding their reporting standing and grants since the official public announcement has not been made and the other applicants have not been informed as yet. Best regards, Bobby Shabangu WISCom

Je dois vous informer que vous étiez l'un des meilleurs candidats dans le processus de candidature.

Sachez que le rôle du WISCom s'étend également à la fourniture d'un soutien non financier aux communautés africaines dans les domaines où elles sont en difficulté. À cet égard, n'hésitez pas à nous contacter si vous souhaitez discuter plus de votre candidature dans le futur et des domaines dans lesquels vous pourriez avoir besoin d'aide afin d'améliorer vos chances de remporter l'appel d'offres la prochaine fois.

WikiIndaba Conference - Maintaining Confidentiality
by Bobby Shabangu 10 May '22

10 May '22

Dear All, After talking to Georges regarding translating the regret letters from English to French, I realised that Derrick was there and we can't have these conversations with him in our midst, we need to protect the other contenders and maintain confidentiality. In this regard, I'll keep messages regarding WikiIndaba administrative matters on email and those that have to do with organising the conference will also be shared on Telegram in order to get a speedy response. Best, Bobby Shabangu
