Dear Friends and Colleagues Many thanks for your messages and apologies for the slow response. I've discussed the situation with my colleagues and everyone agrees that we could certainly consider waiving the fee in the right circumstances, and we've updated the conference website

Hi Mark, If you are willing to consider postponing the event just a bit, to January, you can also apply for the upcoming Conference Grants round. The deadline for submission will be in early September. I'm happy to help and answer any questions. Chen On Wed, Jun 2, 2021, 16:16 Samuel Klein

Hi Mark, I strongly suggest that the organizers request a budgetary support through a WMF grant while there is still ample time before the event. Kind regards, Butch Bustria On Wed, Jun 2, 2021, 1:40 PM Subhashish wrote: > I totally agree with Rajeeb too. A Wikimedian who is otherwise >
