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:

And here also:

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 and Wikimania 2012 (sadly the organizer team of 2012 didn't updated their costs till now...), and I opened a new page for Wikimania 2013.

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 and the number of scholarships your chapters gave. 


Thanks,
Itzik
