Gracias Lorenzo!<div><br></div><div>That's what I was looking for. I'm going to try to plot out your progress against the prior years'. What I am trying to tease out of the data is just how big FOSS4G in Denver could be. Your progress with sponsorship is quite impressive. That's another big question mark for us.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Despite the financial crisis, I know that Where 2.0 "sold out" this year. That is, they maxed out the venue and couldn't admit any more. I've sent an email to Brady Forrest to see if he can share some of his numbers with us. Where 2.0 is fairly pricey but they made extensive use of "discount codes" given to bloggers and other advertisers. Almost no one paid the full registration.</div>

I am starting to work on the attendance projections for 2011. Sorry I
haven't gotten to it sooner. I've been wrapped up in other things over
the long weekend.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm going to start with Cameron's spreadsheet. I'm also going to
start brainstorming on the Wiki. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>But first, do we have preliminary registration data for Barcelona?
If we just have raw data, I'd be happy to crunch the numbers in the
spreadsheet.</div></div></div></blockquote><div><br><br>to date we have 130 inscription.<br>as we all know, looking at the great metrics Cameron created most of the subscription happens in the last 2 months. We are still 90 days before our conference.<br>
<br>Our very early bird (Jan 15) has been good to see the first money move and to check the registration platform. Very early deadlines help the group of the LOC to start to be effective.<br><br>We have some very good sign from the abstract submission (more then 360) and the sponsorships (70% of the expected budget already covered).<br>
It is supposed to be the worst year for the crisis but lots of companies are investing in the sponsorship and more are coming soon. It's an index of the growing interest in FOSS4G, IMO. <br>There's still a lot to do. We still expect more then 1000 attendees but at the moment we are only 130 and the volunteers :)<br>
<br>if you need more stats I can get the raw data of the subscribers but I cannot see great stats for 130 pax.<br><font color="#888888"><br>lorenzo<br><br><br> </font></div><div class="im"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204);padding-left:1ex">
