I am sure detailed reporting will come, but please give the organizers some time. Just some observations... There were just a handful of WMF staff there, and no chapter employees (afaik, except myself who did not attend in that capacity). number of employees being paid to support the conference is zero, unless you want to count the venue staff for security, etc. Please note that the venue was donated at no cost to Wikimedia, and there were a number of other sponsors who sponsored the evening reception at the conference. details: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:WM_US-NYC/WikiConference_USA_2014#Budget_and_resources about the gender diversity, it's just a guesstimate but i'd say ~35-40% women in attendance. (i think conference reporting will provide more stats) Cheers, Katie > > Thanks, > Fae > -- > fae...@gmail.com https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Fae > > _______________________________________________ > Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: > https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines > Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org > <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/guidelineswikimedi...@lists.wikimedia.org> > Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, > <mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe> > -- @wikimediadc / @wikidata _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
