Grants talk:Project/Rapid/Hackathon 2022 Istanbul/Turkey Flanoz

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 is associated with an outstanding expense report from 2019 and two final reports which are over a year overdue. 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. The local meetup grants cannot be used to sponsor swag, prizes, or certificates, in order to keep the experience standard and fair for other participants around the world. You can however use the funds to print out Hackathon artwork or posters for during the event. Can you adjust your itemized total?
3. 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
