I believe that Wikimania scholarships are one of the
best uses of WMF
funds. I would like to see more scholarships. If funds are a problem,
then by all means have more scholarships for relatively local people - but
frankly I don't think funds _are_ a problem.

I had a conversation with Vitor Mazuco about this
email and agreed with
his point of view.
Analyzing the list of users from Brazil that received schollarships from
WMF during the last years, I noted that WMF/Scholarship Committees are
always supporting the same group of people not generating opportunities for
new people(and very important contributors) to join and enjoy Wikimania.
Including, some of the users that received support to go to Wikimania
never provided any feedback to our community regarding Wikimania
experience, learnings, knowledge acquired or any kind of reports.
I think the scholarship committee should take in consideration those who
have been to the event several times, so that we can also include more
people, increasing the Wikimania's diversity in all possible ways, avoid so
many repetitions engaging more people into this international movement.
I'm not saying that the users that received support in recent years do
not deserve this support, my point is that we have more people who also
deserve to go to Wikimania and never get this opportunity, sometimes it
disengage our volunteers.
