OK! We have some progress. We will be able to send a few people from the Vienna Hackathon to Wikimania this year in 2017.
We are working on figuring out a process to determine who they will be and how we will decide.
Also confirming the number of people that can be sent.

This is happening. Technical Collaboration is sponsoring three participants of the Vienna hackathon to attend Wikimania. These people will be chosen at the hackathon and then added into the Wikimania scholarship process to be treated the same as scholarship applicants.

I am closing this task - the work continues here:
