I appreciate the honesty. Thank you. I may have the chance to attend the wikimania, but this does lessens my chances. Having delayed the arrangements may prove to be a wrong move. Ticket fares go up as the date of the flight approaches. Regardless if I attend Wikimania 2008, I wish everyone a great meeting, and I hope to see you all in Wikimania 2009 Buenos Aires ( which I'm going to start planning as soon as possible). Thank you and take care
Alberto Conrado PS.- If a scholarship ommittee member has a little spare time, could they mind telling us (particularly or generally) the reason that we were not chosen? Thank you.
