Hi all<br>
<br>
I wanted to outline that applications to Wikimania Scholarship
opened a few days ago.<br>
It is probably worth outlining these two points:<br>
<br>
1. "Based on the applicant's home country, each applicant will be
categorized as either a <a
href="https://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/Global_South" class=""
title="strategy:Global South">Global North or Global South</a>
applicant, with the <i>total number of scholarships distributed
between the Global North and Global South being set at 25% and 75%
respectively."<br>
<br>
</i>2. Unlike in previous years, activity within the Wikimedia
movement will be the main criteria for evaluation. Participation in
non-Wikimedia free knowledge, free software, collaborative or
educational initiatives is a plus but is no longer a requirement;
individuals who solely contribute to such areas are no longer
encouraged to apply. Please see the FAQ for more information on
eligibility.<i><br>
<br>
</i>If you were deeply involved in Wikimedia the past year and would
like to get the opportunity to talk about your activities in Mexico,
to listen to other participants experience and to build new
projects, do consider applying for a travel grant.<br>
