I did not attend LWE SF in 2004.

In 2003, there was earned revenue from room bookings at Trinity College
in Dublin.  Housing payments and some registration fees in 2004 were
paid directly to the college in Kristiansand.  In 2004, the GUADEC
earned revenue of 7K was exhibition space rental.  With the growth of
the foundation's activities in 2004 to include projects other than
GUADEC, the financial statement now reflects those program activities -
GUADEC, Bounties, GIMP.
