My community DMGS is a new community of teachers I founded, who signed up to learn and contribute to Wikipedia. Having an opportunity to attend Wiki Indaba 2023 will expose them to other Wikimedia projects

Wiki Indaba this year virtually will foster community engagement in our community and expose the newbies to others.

There will be increase in knowledge at the end of this meetup.

I plan to set up a day community meet-up during the Wiki Indaba.

Jury decision

Dear Onyinyeonuoha and colleagues from DMGS IGBO USER GROUP CLUB,

We are sincerely grateful for the time and effort you invested in applying for a micro-grant for WikiIndaba 2023. Your interest in contributing to this event is highly appreciated.

Unfortunately, we have to inform you that your application was not selected for the micro-grant. We received an overwhelming number of quality applications (77 applications for only 7 grants), which made the decision process extremely challenging. Given the constraints, our focus has been on projects from underrepresented communities or groups that lack on-site representation at the conference. The team decided therefore to provide the grants only to countries where there are no user groups at the moment.

Though your application was not selected, we greatly value your interest in WikiIndaba 2023. To stay engaged and catch all the latest updates, we invite you to follow us on Facebook, Twitter and instagram. Additionally, we encourage you to subscribe to our YouTube channel, where we'll be sharing conference highlights and key sessions. We also suggest reaching out to your group members who will be participating in the conference, so they can share experiences and learnings with you.

Best regards,

Organizing Committee, WikiIndaba Conference 2023 -- WikiIndaba2021 (talk) 13:55, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
