Hello , Houssem Abida , Zeinebtakouti , Touzrimounir , Ovva olfa , Sami Mlouhi , Yamen , Afek91 , Dyolf77 , Hamed Gamaoun , Wildtunis , Emnamizouni , Csisc,

As some of you already know, I didn't receive a scholarship for my participation to WikiIndaba Tunis this year. In spite of this, I will come to the conference and fund the expenses myself. As probably all of you, I'm just a wikimedian volunteer not rich enough to pay four days hotel accommodation. That's why I send you this message hoping to receive hospitality from one or more of you. If you want and if you can host me, on or few nisght between Wednesday 14th and Monday 19th morning, just send me a message to my talk page or by email. Thanks in advance and see all of you soon in Tunis! Lionel Scheepmans ^{✉ Contact} _{French native speaker, sorry for my dysorthography} 10:34, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
