Financial reports often took up to four hours to create, compiling data from several different sources. WordCamp and Meetup reports usually took about an hour each. Because of this time burden, some of the reports weren’t generated very often. Which leads us to… **Transparency** Now all of this data is available at the fingertips of every community member, at any time. Most of the reports have data sets going back to the beginning of 2015, so you can get a fairly good picture of our programs over the last 3+ years.
