Hi,
We are soon gonna meet again in Wikimania 2014, and as many of the chapters
and the WMF already published their final financial numbers for 2013, I
encourage everyone who didn't do it yet - like WMF, WMDE, WMFR, WMAT, and
some others to update their numbers:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2013/Budget
And here also:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania/Scholarships/2013
The Hong Kong team is also welcome to add the conferences costs, and other
financial numbers.
Many thanks to everyone for supporting the transparency around Wikimania!

Hi,
I know it may be too early to ask that, but I promise to send another
notification related this issue in the coming months :)
We started last year to make the Wikimania costs more transparent.
Wikimania is our biggest and the most expensive project. To ask our self
"how much Wikimania costs" we can't only look on the project budget, as
the
total cost involve also scholarships (from WMF and chapters)
and delegations of the chapters and the WMF.
We have tracking pages on Meta about Wikimania
2011<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2011/Budget>and Wikimania
2012 <http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2012/Budget> (sadly the
organizer team of 2012 didn't updated their costs till now...), and I
opened a new page for Wikimania
2013<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2013/Budget>
.
So again, I know to some of you this is too early to put the costs
(although the size of the chapters and WMF delegation is known and could be
update also now) - but if you can, do it now. If now, remember to do it
what you have the numbers.
The data requested is your chapter\wmf
delegation<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2013/Budget#Delegati… and
the number of
scholarships<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania/Scholarships/2013&…
chapters gave.
Thanks,
Itzik
