Show HN: Transparency report for Makerland conference

krzrak12y ago· 3 in thread

In my opinion, the report should be more detailed, to be considered as "transparency report". I.e. what exactly was 760 EUR / speaker spent on? What is "misc"? Who were the sponsors? Anyway, move in the right direction :)

Sponsors are listed on the website: http://2014.makerland.org/

Speakers costs includes flights or hotels for speakers who wouldn't be able to attend otherwise.

Misc (Miscellaneous) are all other small costs like payment fees, or accounting, or hosting - small & boring costs like that.

I think there has to be a good balance and if we will go for all details, it'd be just boring for most of the people.

Thanks for the clarification. I was, however, not interested in this specific information, rather giving my opinion about the "transparency" of the report. Some data might be boring, but still important in the matter of transparency.

It would be nice if there would be an option to purchase swag bag after the conference by non-attendees. It looks pretty awsome and oustanding. btw: Are there any videos somwhere, I can't seem to find anything on the site.

Thanks for the idea of option to purchase swag bag, we will think about it! Right now we only sell MAKE THINGS hoodies: http://store.makerland.org/

Interesting that it's not for profit, that's cool!

Thanks! That was kind of "people first" conference.

This is probably the best conference goodie bag I've seen.
