I=E2=80=99m glad you brought this up Stefan. I have been trying to =
schedule a meeting with the ACM digital library folks for the past month =
and I haven=E2=80=99t heard any reply from them. They do not let us bulk =
upload the videos on acm.org <http://acm.org/> DL and hence the need for =
YouTube (which is also, unfortunately, banned in some countries.)

Back to the main topic: we have not managed to, and nor can we, I think, =
answer Neels original question=E2=80=94why are the conferences tickets =
more expensive?=E2=80=94 because we do not know which exact component(s) =
makes the conference expensive without looking at the numbers in the =
actual expense sheets in more detail. Is there a way to make them public =
to run some analysis on them?

Also, as a volunteer, I would rather help record and stream talk videos =
than to check participants badges to see if they have registered for =
lunch.
