(Sorry I never finished my draft and replied at the time :)

As I think became clear in other threads, Carlos did the video work, which
has some constant capital (hardware bought to make it happen) and variable
capital (to Carlos) and then the surplus value/remainder is intended to
cover all the other costs of the lgm.

I guess that those too could be split between constant "organization" costs
(eg if T shirts made a loss, and someone fronted the investment cost bio
front, will that be covered?) and then the local and global organizers are
volunteering so there's no variable capital, and finally the surplus is
divided equitably between those who applied to the travel bursary.

I think this kind of breakdown can be useful to better plan for future
events and raise sponsorship for the next one :)
