FUDCon Santiago budget
Hi,
I've put up this relatively simple page to help track the general budget
for FUDCon Santiago, based on
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon_budget_template, which can also be
used for Zurich, and improved in general.
======
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Santiago_2010_budget
The page has 3 sections:
(1) total budget
(2) fixed costs -- food, shirts, swag, etc.
(3) variable costs -- location, sponsorships
As you can see on the page, the total budget is $15,000 USD. I estimate
about $5,000 USD for fixed costs, which means that we have about $10,000
USD left. I'm not sure if the university requires a fee to host FUDCon.
If so, we need to deduct that. Otherwise, all of that money is
available for sponsorship of event attendees, which is a separate topic.
We need to figure out the best way to spend that sponsorship money.
Sometimes we help people purchase plane tickets. Sometimes we help with
hotel rooms, sometimes we do both. It depends on how many people have
pre-registered and indicated that they need sponsorship.
Fortunately, we have a detailed process for figuring out how to spend
sponsorship money.

== What do we do next? ==
Well, let's get an answer about whether or not the university has a
hosting fee. If not, then we start to figure out the best way to
allocate the remaining funds.
