Grants talk:Project/Rapid/Hackathon 2022 Ammarpad

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, and are highly impressed by your work. We have some questions regarding your application. Please address these questions as soon as possible.

1. We see that the user who applied for this grant has an outstanding report from October 2021. We cannot proceed with this grant until this is handled. Do you know how to address this? If not, please contact the grants administrators.
2. Can you clarify in which city the event will be held, and when?
3. The local meetup grants cannot be used to sponsor swag, certificates, or t-shirts, in order to keep the experience standard and fair for other participants around the world. Can you remove this from your itemized total?
4. Will you please explain examples of what you might need to buy under Logistics, registrations and surveys, communication and event administration?
5. Would you be interested in having a WMF staff member attend or support the event? (This will not affect your application).

Thank you again for your proposal! Our regards, The Hackathon Local Meetup Committee
