Hi Fae,
In your email of 16.31 today, you did indeed ask how many employees were "supporting the conference".
What was your intention in asking that question if not to get the answer Pharos has given you?

This was an entirely volunteer-run conference.
Thanks Pharos. My question was about proportions of attendees being women or employees, rather than who organized it. I should have avoided the subsequent comment, as that appears to have taken us on a tangent (by the way, I think paying someone to help project manage conferences is an excellent use of donated funds, it is the sort of thing that is likely to cause volunteer stress and burn-out).
Aude's email (Sat Jun 7 16:12:35 UTC 2014) has confirmed that at least one attendee was an employee, so the answer to that question cannot be zero.
To avoid confusion, please refer to my email where I explain what was being asked: < http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimedia-l/2014-June/072566.html%3E
