need funding for captioning 32 hours of video

[Claudia S. Bianchini]

Hi Valerie,
I will soon donate but can I suggest one thing for next time?
I know that some of us do not have a academic affiliation, but for the ones
who have it, it is quite easy for us to ask for a "conference fee refunding"
So maybe, for the next time, you can put a conference fee (like 100$ for
official researchers, 50€ for students) and then say that you will offer
the conference in case of special needs (so if someone don't have money he
comes for free)... In this way we can make our university or institution
pay for our presentation and you can use the money for the captions or
whatever your association needs... this will be a plus in respect of the
donations everyone can do with his own wallet.
:-)
Claudia
