Questions?

A discussion took place on the #wikimedia IRC channel on Friday 17 September, 2004 to discuss the upcoming fundraising drive and the current progress being made with grant applications. A full log of the meeting is available at Fundraising meeting, September 2004/Log.

The meeting addressed the following questions:

What is the target amount for the drive?
- Estimated costs:
  - We need to start paying half for the colo costs ([//65.59.189.201/www.bomis-total/www.bomis-total.html

bandwidth info]). 2300 dollars/mo -> 1100 dollars -> 13200/y

- - Additional Apaches, additional squids, additional rack space, additional db servers : US$26,000 a year
    - Thought Jamesday mentions US$30,000-US$50,000 on hardware for a quarter...
  - 10 domains/country * 100 countries = 10000/yr
  - At this moment, we have US$26,662.84 in the bank which will not be taken into account for this fundraising drive.
- We will ask for 50 000 for the fundraising as a goal
- The money will be used for
  - hardware
  - bandwidth (possibly)
  - colo costs
  - domain names
  - travel costs
How long will the drive last?
- 2 weeks
"This website is not yet official" has to change. Does anything else need to change before this can happen?
- Needs main page to be clean up properly -> this week end
- Brooke will try to have edit links and co, hidden for non loggued in
Which set amounts should be in the monthly/yearly options?
- Monthly : minimum given by Mav, up to 100 dollars/mo. For other currencies, make it round numbers as well, and make it fit with revenu level.
How will the drive be publicised?
- pumps
- ml
- goings on
- press release (must warn translators)
- unique site notice (look for the translations of the previous notice)
- The template:fundraisingnotice will be used on all wikis? (Can this be added automatically?)
Are the translations complete and ready to go live?
- Not yet, but we will try hard to get it done this weekend.
What technical load issues are there that will affect us during the fundraising period?
- We hit 100Mbit/s on Wednesday for several hours. How will the website tolerate the peaks ?
- 65.59.189.201/www.bomis-total/www.bomis-total.html
