Up until this year, the number of abstracts submitted has been fairly
constant while attendance has changed. So # of abstracts doesn't seem
to be a good indicator.<br>

attendance (although the attendee/abstract ratio may likely be higher
for locations that are easier to reach).<br>

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>

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>
