We have never had a budget before. Brian started with
historial data from Ralph and produced the budget for
PLoP'96 that is given here. We will try to report on how
accurate it was.
Brian Foote 7/2/96
The following gives more projections for our
expenses at 3 different levels of attendence.
Of the three, the higher ones seem most likely,
give the level of interested, and 82 submissions.
A few notes:
The budget contains $4,000 for duplication. We
are leaning towards distributing the pre-proceedings
piecemeal via ftp. If we do so, this item will
drop considerably.
The special category includes credit card processing
costs, and well as a fund for unexpected expenses
or opportunities.
We've budgeted up to $5,000 for student-author
registration and travel assistance. Should turnout
somehow manage to be low, we can adjust this downward.
As it stands, this budget will break even at 44
full registrations.
