Grants talk:Project/Rapid/Hackathon 2022 + London UK + edsaperia

Thank you for applying to host a local meetup at the Wikimedia Hackathon. We are so grateful you took the time to put together a proposal, but unfortunately we will not be able to fund your proposal at this time. This was the first time the Hackathon organizers ran a grant program, and because of limited resources we were not able to accept most of the proposals we received.

We strongly encourage your organizers and community members to attend the online Hackathon, which is the primary event. There are many ways to take part in the online event, from hosting sessions, joining projects, or participating in social events online. It is the best way to begin to build a local technical community. We look forward to meeting you there!

Please do not let this decision dissuade you from applying for another Rapid Grant in the future. The Hackathon grant process is still in its pilot state, but there are many other Wikimedia funding opportunities that are open or will open soon. --HLepp (WMF) (talk) 00:38, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
