Hi guys,
The next annual Wikimedia conference, Wikimania, is scheduled to take place in Haifa,
Israel in August 4-7 2011. See:
http://wikimania2011.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page.
As always, there are limited scholarships given out to those who are in financial need.
Scholarship applications will begin in Jan 1 - 31, 2011. Please see a mock application
form so that you may have a feel of the questions that are typically asked:

I urge you guys to take your time in thinking of the answers that you'll give; since
in Wikimania 2010, only 1 out of the 20+applicants from Kenya was granted the scholarship.
Also, there were a total of over 2,500 applicants last year, and only 100 of them got the
scholarships: so competition is very stiff!
RegardsAbbas.
