https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:TPS/Wikimania_scholars#2014_Wikimania_scholars Still waiting for people to register, get their visas, and book travel before we truly know who are finally going to attend. It's no small understaking for WMF to try to get everyone (staff, scholarship recipients, etc.) registered, hotel, and travel arrangements done in a very short amount of time. You will probably see a surge of people indicating on that page below that they are attending by the end of the month.
