Hello everyone, I looks like applications for scholarships to attend this year's Wikimania will be opening up on the 17 February. These scholarships are paid for by the Wikimedia Foundation and not the Wikimedia ZA chapter. We strongly encourage people to apply for these scholarships so we have as many South Africans as possible attending Wikimania.
