Re: [Wikimedia-l] [Wikimania-l] Update on Wikimania '17 - Scholarships, Registration, Submissions

[phoebe ayers]

Hi all,

and an update to Ellie's update... all of the acceptance/rejection/waitlist
emails for the Wikimedia program have gone out, as of early this week. If
you're expecting to hear from me about a submission and haven't yet, let us
know: wikimania-prog...@wikimedia.org (I know there are still some followup
questions in the queue, but if you haven't heard from us at all there may
be a problem with the email).

And if you were accepted but haven't written back: please do so asap!

We should be able to resolve waitlist submissions within the next couple of
weeks; this is a fairly labor-intensive period of going back & forth to
build the schedule. Thanks for your patience!

Phoebe

Re: [Wikimedia-l] [Wikimania-l] Update on Wikimania '17 - Scholarships, Registration, Submissions

[Ellie Young]

For the past several years anyone who gets a scholarship has to agree to
the release of their user name in their acceptance of the award.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] [Wikimania-l] Update on Wikimania '17 - Scholarships, Registration, Submissions

[Jonathan Cardy]

Hi Dr Pavanaja,

Back in April you asked for a list of scholarship applicants and people 
explained why we only publicise the list of people who are awarded a grant, not 
the people whose applications are declined. The list of people awarded a grant 
has been published, your request for a list of applicants has not and hopefully 
won't ever be published. Nothing has changed. If people apply for a scholarship 
and are declined that remains a private matter between the applicant and the 
scholarship committee, unless of course the applicant chooses to say that they 
applied and didn't get a scholarship.

Regards

Jonathan

This was your email in April.

You must have received faulty information. The recipients have always been
revealed, at least in past years.
