Hi Michal,
I believe some of the funding is also used for hosting the demo-server and register the domain name? Maybe this can be mentioned as well, to not give the impression that funding is only spent on trips.
Kind regards,
Dieter

Well the demo server and wiki pay themselves by sponsored links, so it is not the case. The domain name is paid from our funds. Feel free to improve the text, I just felt we should give more information how the funds are being used and wrote first thing that came to my mind :-).
