However, our financial reports only report a single "profit" from the conference; it's not clear from our reports how much of this covers LA expenses and how much is genuine profit. This change simplifies accounting and reporting by removing the surplus component. It is invisaged this would be complemented by: - A change from $11/head to 6% of total revenue as the fee LA charges - A change in reporting to show this as a fee returned to LA, reducing the reported "profit" by this amount The "Budgeting" section already suggests that conference budgets should "consider both direct concerns of the conference, and long-term investments in the community". This change would make it clearer how much profit is available for these long-term concerns. It is anticipated that most events will want to prioritise these items as "If we have space in the budget" items. **NOTE:** This service has been marked for deprecation: https://developer.github.com/changes/2018-04-25-github-services-deprecation/ Functionality will be removed from GitHub.com on January 31st, 2019.
