Learning

It was an average experience. In a conference with many tracks the audience gets split you don't get as many people as you hope. Having presentations/workshops in the second day and at the end of day also gives you less attention.

Finances

Grant funds spent

Travel - Gjilan - Prishtina, Kosovo to Tirana, Albania and back (520 km) -- 55 EUR gas and bus tickets.
Hostel - 4 people x 2 nights x 8 EUR = 64 EUR

Remaining funds

Do you have any remaining grant funds? 191 EUR granted - 119 EUR spend = 71. I could rollover this amount into WoALUG's 2020 grant amount to avoid high transfer fees.

Remaining funds have been used or will be used for other approved mission-aligned activities. This use has been requested in writing and approved by WMF.

Anything else

None.
