Anyways this is perceived by the community.
In Wikimedia CH we cannot give scholarships for Wikimania because people would not do long trips.
IMHO the problem is these big events.
For this reason we prefer to give more scholarships for regional wikicon than to Wikimania.
This is the reason why you dont see more Swiss people at Wikimania.
Kind regards

I think we could drastically lower our carbon footprint by not using community digital resources to beat the same dead horse for a billionth time.

a) Reach out to Stripe https://stripe.com/gb/blog/negative-emissions-commitment, which has a through self-assessment and a negative-emissions program, and the Long Now, to coordinate efforts. b) Evaluate the community-wide carbon footprint, which is dominated by b.1) How we run conferences [*mostly in person*] b.2) How we choose partners, communicate climate imformation, and prioritize related policies [*fairly ad-hoc*] _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia-l New messages to: Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, mailto:wikimedia-l-request@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe
