Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Support for our communities across India

[Paulo Santos Perneta]

Hi Chris,

What to you mean by "The Affiliations Committee is a community-run body of
volunteers"? It is run by the WMF, not the community. Even the choice of
AffCom members is not made by the community, but by the AffCom itself.
Pretending that it is community run is not true, it's entirely commanded
and run by the WMF.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Wikimania 2019: More participation from India

[Ashwin Baindur]

Good to know that we are supporting those who haven't been earlier. New
people should get the chance to go and experience the global movement for
such events. When the same people go to Wikimania more than once, often
they aren't able to contribute or learn anything more than what they
already did.

All the best Indrajit & Dhanalakshmi . Please ensure that you participate
fully and wholeheartedly on behalf of all of us and do provide a full
report for those of us who are interested but are unable to make it out of
India.

[Wikimediaindia-l] Wikimania 2019: More participation from India

[Ananth Subray]

Hello,


Hope this email finds you well. The preparation of Wikimania 2019 is going
on, and we hope to see enthusiastic participation from India this year as
well.

You know that in addition to the main Wikimania scholarship, there has been
a practice to offer scholarships to Wikimedians from India. The practice
was started by Wikimedia India, and currently, CIS-A2K is working on this.
CIS-A2K has consulted Wikimedia India Chapter and is happy to announce that

This year 2 Wikimedians from Indian will be given support to attend
Wikimania.

Following are the criteria:

   1.

   The participants are selected based on the points they received from
   Wikimania selection committee set up by WMF. They shared the list with us.
   2.

   Applicants who received scholarship earlier and attended past Wikimanias
   are not selected in favour of applicants who never got a chance to attend.
   3.

   We have ensured 1 female participation in this list.


Based on these criteria User:User:Indrajitdas and
User:User:Dhanalakshmi_.K._T for Wikimania 2019 are selected.

We have already contacted them and they have accepted the invitation. The
required documents have been sent to the Wikimedians, and hope they will
get their visa very soon.


We are unable to support a partial scholarship for budgetary constraints.

Thanks and Regards,
