More on Barcamp Auckland
January 18, 2008
So I just paid the final invoice for Barcamp Auckland. Money well-spent in my opinion. Anyway, I'd like to publish the "finances" if you will as well as talk a bit about the next one.
Finances
The table below breaks down the finances a bit. I'm not going to give every single transaction here but general costs.
| Item | Provider | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Catering (incuding morning tea, lunch and all-day tea and coffee) | Venue's Cafe | $810 | T-shirts, Lanyards and Name Badges | Identity Gurus | $2470.50 |
| Minor Expenses (including stationary, cables and adaptors, powerboards etc) | Whitcoulls, The Warehouse, Dick Smith Electronics... | $270.50 |
The next one?
We are definitely planning to have another Barcamp Auckland in mid-2008. This would need to coincide with secondary school holidays as it makes it easier to organise when I have a week before to sort out the final details. (If we are planning to use the same venue, then we also need to wait until the school isn't being used.)
If you are interested in attending another event, please leave a comment below as this information will be useful for finding sponsorship.

Count me in - Just make sure it is a weekend in Winter. I try and avoid tech stuff in December and January (It’s summer and we have beaches ;-)

I’d be keen. Just hope it’s not going to be in August. Will be overseas in The Other Summer (TM) at that time.

Yep, I’m definitely keen for take 2. Location was excellent, too. Winter is also a good idea.
