we looked into the private accommodation option as well but decided against it because the convention took place during the summer break and parallel to the bauhaus-summer school. the summer school did pay for people subletting and thus had already scooped away the potential of private accommodation.
But I mean people that are not subletting. During the 2nd convention, volunteers were keeping their own apartment but shared the space with a visitor, using extra beds put in living room or unused bedroom or other. That's a different game not involving people who leave their own apartment.
the deal we've got with the youth hostel was good - just that we were charged for those not checking in but reserving through our online registration made the accommodation expenses rise to 3606.- €
You said that 2500 € were wasted ? How many people, times how much per person ?
Where we did actually spent less on, was equipment tech and rent which was close to zero due to the fact that we've mostly used university space and equipment.
AFAIR, the equipment was not actually rented with money, but had to be accounted as if it had been. However, I don't have this info and don't trust me about it. I saw the accounting once or twice, but either I lost it somewhere in my home, or I never had a copy of my own. It would be better to have this info from Marc or Andrew or Darsha, people who were more involved with that side of the Pd Convention.
i would like to see your interesting paper about the self generating help files to be discussed on the list.
I already wrote about that topic on pd-list before writing my paper for Weimar... though the paper went in greater detail. It didn't seem to attract any significant amount of conversation on pd-list back then. Who would you want to see writing about it ?
BTW, have you tried that documentation system ?
