Thanks for bringing up the subject of financial accounting for major
events. I would just like to note that our colleagues at Wikimedia
Deutschland who hosted Wikimedia Conference 2015 published an accounting of
that conference's finances just a few months after the conference (
).
Perhaps other events could use a similar method for budgeting and
accounting so that other reports are also produced in a timely manner.
Regards,
Pine

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":
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2013/Budget
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2012/Budget
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!
