The budget is important but don't get too obsessed about the budget at this stage. Of course it makes a difference if you get an amazing venue for free or you have to pay expensive market prices, but we know that some areas are going to be more expensive than other, and for us this is one factor of many. What really counts is the fact that you understand the activities and expenses involved, that you understand what implies to organize a successful hackathon and therefore that you could be a good organizer of the next one. In other words, Be Bold and Be Ready to discuss at Wikimania. ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

Re: [Wikitech-l] Call for Wikimedia Hackathon(s) 2014-2015
So far there are no candidates to organize the next Wikimedia Hackathon in Europe. If any chapter, thorg, or group of volunteers is thinking about applying, please let us know. We want to announce the new host at Wikimania. Very important: the budget for the Wikimedia Hackathon 2015 will be discussed and eventually approved as an independent Project and Event Fund. This means that organizers will be able to define the budget and manage it without depending on general chapter funds and FDC rounds. This will avoid any risk of budget cuts caused by factors alien to the hackathon organization, a problem we have seen in previous editions.
