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>
