I request you to ignore my tone and discuss about my question. How can a non-scholarship recipient and not in the waiting list be selected to attend Wikimania with donation money depriving those who were in the waiting list. I just want to know about the documentation, so that everything becomes clear to me. > As far as Wikimania mailing list is concerned, I too subsequently inquired > and I find response has been provided for the same, two days back. > Bodhisattwa has been subsequently replying.

I have never forgotten that and will never forget. But things have changed now in WMIN. I along with other patricipants in the conference from India have heard of future plans and incidents related to present WMIN president, which are not in the spirit of the Wikimedia movement. If you want to know about those, I can tell, others can confirm, if they are true or not. > Like the allegation today, even two years back on Wikimania there happened > to be an allegation on an Indian language village pump, concerning you and > your travel.

Can you please send me the link of that discussion, so that I can remember everything. Pardon my retrograde amnesia, may be I am getting old and my memory cells are not working as before. As it was my second Wikimania and luckily I got a full scholarship to attend the conference, I am really interested to see that discussion and comprehend from the point of objection again. Please send me the link, dont forget, please. > At last, Bodhisattwa, my friend, like Satdeep and Subhashish raise your > voice but maintain friendly spirt. > As I said before, please, my friend, ignore my tone and stick to the question I asked. Waiting for your reply, Bodhisattwa
