I'm not sure I wanna try it, but all the fuss about the smelly fish  makes me 
really curious to come by and make a firsthand observation.

Apparently Wikimania will coincide with Surströmming day in Sweden this year

(More discreet, private offers to take me to try this fish also welcome. I'm a 
big fan of Cantonese salted fish [2] so I'm fairly confident I can cope with 
Surströmming.)

Not sure I can stomach this, but certainly interested to try.

[Wikimania-l] Room open for sharing on July 15th

[Abbad Diraneyya]

Hi everyone,


I'll be arriving in Cape Town a day earlier than other scholarship recipients, 
on July 15th, and will be staying for one night in the nearby Stay Easy Cape 
Town City Bowl. The minimal rate for both single and double rooms seems to be 
the same. Would anyone be interested in sharing?


I'll be making the reservation in about 48 hours, so you'll need to inform me 
ASAP.


Best,

Abbad.

Re: [Wikimania-l] Wikimania 2014 scholarship now accepting application

[Abbad Diraneyya]

That's great news!
I am glad, actually, that the decision to remove partial scholarships has 
finally been made. As a former scholarship recipient, I can tell that they 
weren't quite helpful, at least not in their current amount. If someone can't 
already pay the expenses himself, then 50% of flight tickets shouldn't make 
that difference. It would be nice if it was reconsidered in the following years 
to return the partial scholarships but with some improvement to cover more 
expenses, for example 100% of travel costs.
Anyway, I wish a good luck to all applicants. I am looking forward to meet you 
in next August, hopefully!
Abbad.
