Good day Erina, Geoffrey, and Douglas
Congratulations again on a successful bid to host the 5th edition of Wiki
Indaba in 2020.
I would like to share a planning guide that was developed by WISCom members
to assist answer important questions as you prepare to host this event. The
guide includes recommended milestones and a timeline to follow. As this
document gets updated, I will be sure to send you the latest pack promptly.
First things first, it would really be useful to start a page on meta for
this event, where you can add basic information about host city and Local
organizing team bios.
Chen Almong is the events grant officer to get in contact with as you are
getting ready to send your grant application.
Woubzena and I continue to support WISCom and are at your disposal at any
point should you need our assistance.
Looking forward to hearing from you and to a successful event in Uganda!
Best regards
PS: Douglas what is your personal email?

Hello WISCOM members,
We are writing to let you know that the time is quickly approaching for the
next round of the Wikimedia Foundation’s Project Grants program. In about
one month, on January 21, we will launch the Round 2020/1 open call, with a
final proposal deadline of February 20 for all submissions. Importantly,
this will be the only open call for Project Grants in the current fiscal
year, so we’d love to get your help in making sure that your community is
aware of this funding opportunity, and has time to plan a proposal, if
desired.
Should you become aware of prospective applicants, you can let them know
that:
-
Prospective grantees are welcome to reach out to
projectgrants(a)wikimedia.org with questions before the open call begins.
-
We offer these pages on Meta to help applicants plan projects and
complete a grant proposal:
-
Tutorials for writing a strong application <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Tutorial>
-
General planning page for Project Grants <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Plan>
-
Program guidelines and criteria <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Learn>
Every round, we make our best effort to recruit committee members, who
volunteer to help review and make funding decisions about grant
applications. Would you also please take a moment to consider whether you
can suggest any individuals you think might make a strong contribution in
this role? Please consider:
-
Are there individuals who could offer strong insights into the regional
community that you would recommend?
-
Are there thematic areas you think are especially important for the
movement right now? Are there individuals with strong expertise in those
areas you think might be willing to volunteer for Project Grants committee
work?
-
Are there individuals whose judgement or skill sets have impressed you,
who might be willing to serve in this capacity?
Please let us know! We appreciate your help with these requests.
The full 2020/1 Round schedule is also listed on the Project Grants
proposal webpage <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project>, and is
also copied here for easy reference.
With thanks,
Chris Schilling

You know by now that I am leaving the Wikimedia Foundation as Chief of
Community Engagement and that I was not able to join you all at WikiIndaba
in Abuja for that reason. I am so sorry I could not be there, but want to
thank you all so much for the collaboration we shared to advance the cause
of free and open knowledge across Africa. If you’d like to stay in touch
with me, I’d welcome it! valeriedcosta(a)gmail.com.
My best to you all for the future!

Good day team
Now that we are just a few days away from Wiki Indaba in Abuja. We need to
finalize the host for the next Indaba. I believe we were left with two bids
(Uganda & Namibia) and that WMF pointed out there were no concerns on both
these bids.
Can we finalize this so that it does not end up an arbitrary
decision during the conference?

Dear sirs/ma,
Further to the ongoing email and the available information.
The Local organising committee, Wikiindaba 2019 write to notify you that we have allotted the under listed unallocated scholarship slots as follows:
1. Felix Narte's scholarship to be replaced by Emna Mizouni ( Tunisia)
2. Isla Haddow's scholarship to be replaced by Azibert Yakhoub (Chad) ( His name was in the initial list sent to WMF, but it erroneously omitted from the current master list. A congratulatory email was sent to him on 7th August. 2019)
3. Chandapiwa Molete's scholarship to be replaced by Rezkallah Fayçal Mohammed (Algeria) Since, Reda refusal to attend Indaba, there is no Algeria on the list, hence our decision to add Fay. He's already on the waiting list.
4. Rossouw Van Rooyen's scholarship to be replaced by Abderamane Brahim Abakar ( Chad) Visa-free to Nigeria
Thanks for your understanding.

Dear Sirs,
Greetings,
Sequel to the under listed situations :
* Notification of Chandapiwa Molete's withdrawal from participation at WikiIndaba 2019
* Visa refusal of Mr Rossouw Van Rooyen by the Nigeria High Commission to Namibia ( We have confirmed the resolution of our embassy in Namibia not to issue this visa)
We, therefore, require to consider more people for the available slots.
Emna, the current Wikimedians of the Year stated her intention to attend the conference. She further told me that she regretted her inability to register for the scholarship during the window period for the scholarship application.
What do we think?

I support Emna being considered for the slot. Do you have anyone else in mind?
I suppose they would have to come from Visa free country.
