[HOT] HOT Scholarships to the CrisisMappers Conference

[Mikel Maron]

Organizing scholarships is a lot of work, particularly getting a good set of documents for submission with the visa application, and the travel plans. But it's a path several of us have run down before. For example, http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/State_Of_The_Map_2011/Scholarships
 
Ideally, I'd say a half dozen people dividing up the tasks, makes this easy work for all.

Please do speak up if you're interested to help. We should set up an IRC chat next week to put together the plan (and quick, only 2 months to ICCM).
