Find out more details about the conference and the previous conference here - https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/jinalfoflia/diary/43529 It’ll be great if the South Africa/Cape Town OSM communities would want to participate, conduct BoF sessions or present lightning talks. OpenStreetMap and Wikipedia communities have a lot in common, let's meet, collaborate and make the most of this opportunity!

There is of course a significant overlap between OSM volunteers and Wikimedia people, so every year there is something specifically about OSM at Wikimania, and cartography in the service of Wikimedia projects in general. We also usually organise a mapping party for Wikimania. Once the date is confirmed, I'll also post that on this list. I'm on the Wikimania committee, and we have a limited number of scholarships available to fund South African Open Knowledge volunteers/advocates to attend Wikimania, and this can fund your travel, registration fees and accommodation. Check out http://wikimedia.org.za/wiki/Wikimania_2018_Scholarship_Applications if you're interested and you have something to bring to the conference.

It's always awesome to see both these communities working together and coming up with something amazing! Thank you for offering the scholarship :) I'm based out of India, so it's hard for me making to the conference. Would be happy to share ideas and work with folks on OSM related sessions.
