Dear all,
as the year is almost over, I have started to write the yearly report of what the openZIM did in 2010 and how we spent our money that has been generously donated by Wikimedia CH. * https://openzim.org/Yearly_Report_2010
This document is still a draft, please add whatever you think should be included.
Meanwhile I prepared the budget for 2011. Due to our decision to combine our developers meeting with Wikimania in Haifa and pay travel costs in order to allow all contributors to participate we need a much higher budget than this year. I have based my budget on the assumption that we will have to reimburse 10 participants with flights of 500 EUR each and 100 EUR per night in the hotel. * http://openzim.org/Budget_2011
As we didn't have a 3rd Developers Meeting in 2010 we actually spent less money as in 2009, there are more than 6000 EUR left. The budget for 2011 also provides a lot of room, as I don't want to deny any contributors to participate at Wikimania due to lack of money or because flights might get more expensive etc...
You can help saving our budget by registering for Wikimania right tomorrow and make use of the early bird discount for registration and hotel accommodation!
Comments are welcome! Please have a great start into 2011!
Thanks,
Manuel

I have read the document, fix a few issues and add also 2-3 small paragraph. This seems to me to correctly reflect the openZIM activities for the past year. I hope nothing important was forgotten.

Everything seems to be right here, I have no modification to propose.

I know that Manuel, Renaud an me will be there and have already paid both flight, registration and hotel.
Would be great to see soon more people on this page: https://openzim.org/Developer_Meetings/2011-1
Thank you very much Manuel for putting together budget and yearly report... and for your patience ;)

thanks a lot for your additions. We should finish the report and our budget soonly to let the budget / sponsoring request go through the voting process of Wikimedia CH, so we can be sure to get the money we need for 2011.

This is indeed important.
I am waiting for responses from: * Tommi * Tomasz * Christian * Ralf * maybe someone from Linterweb? * any more interested people on this list?
I assume that Asaf will be there anyway.

Hi,
I reviewd your report. Great work. Thank you.
And sorry for my long break in the openzim project. I was and I am still very busy in my work. I hope to find some time in the near future to do something for openzim again. At least I want to continue the direct mediawiki dump.
Tommi
Thanks Tommi for the update.
Important right now is that you register early enough for the developers meeting in Haifa - we all hope that you can make it there.
