<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Joining in a bit late, but given
the conversation which happened down thread I want to make a
point of saying this.<br>
<br>
Tanya, thank you for all of the work you put into LLVM dev
each year. I have greatly enjoyed the conference year after
year and get a lot out of attending. It is currently the only
tech conference which I attend as a routine matter of course.
For an event of it's size, the conference usually goes
exceedingly smoothly. <br>
<br>
I want to explicitly call out the work which has gone in to
keeping the conference accessible to all. A $300 price is
well within budget for most of attendees, and the foundation
has made sure to offer reduced student and need based rates.
The focus on doing that later bit says good things about the
organization and the folks involved in running it. I know for
that for me, the benefits I receive by attending far outweigh
the cost. <br>
<br>
It is unfortunate that attendance has to be capped. It seems
like demand has increased a lot the last couple of years.
However, I do want to call out the efforts which have gone
into making most of the content of the technical tracks
available to a much wider audience. All of the effort to post
recording of talks is subsidized by the local attendees and
the organizers have ensured the content is available not too
long after the conference. That is itself a huge investment
in making the event accessible to those who can't attend in
person. <br>
<br>
Tanya, one thing which might help prevent concerns like those
raised would be to have an open discussion of where the funds
are going. Is there a publicly available budget document for
last years conference you can point to? <br>

There's a significant amount of information on this in the 2016
budget document (especially starting from page 5):<br>

Thank you. That was exactly what I was hoping to see. <br>
