Because of VAT issues with the London venue (I won’t go into the details here but it wasn’t something that WMF or the local team had any control over…) , we were finally able to get final accounting done in June, but that coincided with being in the midst of Wikimania ’15 preparations.   We will have an accounting in the next month published.

WMF handled all the finances so this really isn’t anything Ed is involved in.

Thanks for your patience,

Ellie

This is not my first email about this issue, but I really think it's really important. Wikimania is the highest expense for our movement. From the conference production cost, WMF scholarships, chapter scholarships and WMF and chapters delegations - amounts that is almost one million dollar, if not more.



Wikimania 2012-2013 budgets were been published but still consider as "draft":

If the conference organization leader can be please approve this numbers and remove the draft template - it will be great.

WMCH, Affcom, WMAR and WMDE are welcome to complete their information regarding their delegations and scholarships given by them.

For 2014 - we don't have any data. Not conference budget, not scholarships and not chapters numbers. Edward - your help will be welcome. 
I personally asked my ED to complete the information for WMIL, and I welcome others to do so as well. 

Ellie and the Wikimania committee - there is something we can do in order to take care for this pages to be update yearly? 


Thank you everyone!
