Hello HK Team, In behalf of the Philippine Chapter (and your other Asian brothers and sister chapters), we congratulate you for having a successful bid.
We hope we could bring many Filipinos there as we are just two hours apart by plane. We are also hoping the lessons from the Israel and DC hosting would help you bring a better and more colorful event in August 2013. P.S. I hope you can open the scholarships as early as mid-December to enable you to have a better time screening all applicants and announce it in March so that participants would have a hassle free planning of their iterinaries and for some -- visa applications. -- Roman "Butch" Bustria Jr. Wikimedia Philippines Inc. ------------------------------ The information contained in this message is privileged and intended only for the recipients named.
