[WMCEE-l] Wikimedia CEE Meeting 2016 updates

[David Saroyan]

Dear CEE community members,

As you probably know the Wikimedia CEE Meeting of 2016 is going to take
place in Dilijan, Armenia on 26-29 August and will be hosted by Wikimedia
Armenia. I'm happy to announce that we have almost completed the grant
proposa <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:PEG/WM_AM/CEE_Meeting_2016>l
and formed the organization team
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:PEG/WM_AM/CEE_Meeting_2016#Resources_and_risks>.
This year we expect to offer 58 scholarships and have about 90 attendees in
total. You can find more information about the meeting in the grant proposal
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:PEG/WM_AM/CEE_Meeting_2016> or on
the meta page <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_CEE_Meeting_2016>.
The grant proposal is still a draft for the community members to propose
changes and make corrections. We'll submit the grant proposal in a week.
Please have a look at it. We highly appreciate your input :-)

There are also other updates that I'd like to share with you:
* We had a visit to Dilijan on 3rd May to confirm our agreements with the
venue (UWC Dilijan) and the hotel (Dilijan Resort) and to arrange meeting
rooms and catering.
* WM AM reached out its volunteers in order to form local CEE organization
team and discuss organizational issues. A meeting was held on 30th April.
The full list of 27 volunteers and their roles can be found on the grant
page.
* All CEE communities were invited to fill in the Questions and Needs
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_CEE_Meeting_2016/Needs> page on
meta. Thanks Nikola and Antanana for reaching out the communities! If you
have not done it yet please take a moment and write your community needs. I
promise it won't take long :-)

As the CEE meeting preparations are actively going on one of our
communication team members will inform you  about news and updates on the
meeting once in 2 weeks or more often, if necessary.

Best,
David Saroyan,
Program Manager
