NEED THIS IN OUR WIKI!!!

The budget shall contain the following information:


 * what is the expected registration fee, if any, for each attendee?
 * there is no fee
 * what is the expected amount of third-party sponsorships?
 * we asked FOSSGIS e.V. for sponsoring too, looks like they donate between 5k Euro
 * what in-kind donations are expected (such as donated use of a conference room)?
 * no extra costs for the room, as long as all basecamp (~70 beds) is occupied by Code sprint people, if not, we have to pay for the not-booked beds -> no extra costs, as all beds are booked
 * what is the desired amount of OSGeo sponsorship?
 * 7500 € or more
 * what is the expected cost per attendee, for travel, lodging, and food?
 * food and drinks +-13.000€ including snacks as it is August and we have to buy the drinks from the venue, we calculated with a 5k €/day flat charge, this is 20/32€ per Person per day
 * what is the expected cost for the venue (such as conference room, wifi support, snacks, etc.)?
 * no extra costs for room snacks are included in the price of the food (see above)
 * wifi will cost +- 2100 Euro as we provide an extra access point to provide a stable internet connection


 * ?? not clear whether we have extra costs for electricity and internet

Profit / Loss / Risk


 * What is the expected profit of the event, if any? where will any surplus money go?
 * community building, work on OSGeo projects by taking the chance, that a lot of dev's are at FOSS4G anyway
 * Under what circumstances might the event incur a loss? how will this risk be mitigated?
 * if not all accommodations in basecamp Bonn are occupied, we'd have to pay for the not booked beds -> by july 2016 all beds are booked
