* Hans-Christoph Steiner <hans@eds.org> [2008-08-11 15:31-0400]: > The last Podcamp NYC was at Poly, about 250 signed up, with a peak of > 160ish at once. The total Podcamp paid Poly was about $3k. Compare > that to the previous year in a big hotel's conference center: $30k. > Barcamp NYC was just there, it had 24/7 access to one 10m x 20m room > with 9 projectors, and 9am-11pm access to the rest of the spaces. I > think the budget for Poly was $2k. Poly just merged with NYU, and > NYU is a money-making machine, so that might change. Hopefully not. Can you give an idea of how long these events lasted for? Debconf is typically just shy of 2 weeks, with a smaller debcamp before-hand, and a larger 1 week event as the main attraction. > How many people come to DebConf normally? I think we should try to > organize local people to host guests so that people can come on the > cheap. I could host two people/couples, for example. The easier to get to, the more that want to go. Scotland had I believe 400 people, this year there are less (no idea on numbers, but Mar Del Plata is much harder to get to for people). Micah
