"All of the organisations that I’ll be discussing (ACM, arXiv, IEEE, and USENIX) generate an annual revenue that covers operating costs and a surplus that is reinvested in the community and/or held as assets. These assets are crucial to secure on-going financial commitments and underwrite events. Building up these assets is necessary to underwrite increased financial liabilities as these organisations grow."

@djoerd ready to hire!

- Meer Europese coördinatie van het innovatiebeleid en bij het reguleren van platforms kan voor meer groei zorgen.
- Belastingcoördinatie is nodig om de Nederlandse winsten van internationaal opererende bedrijven effectief te belasten.

@djoerd and myself pitched NoGA, a newly funded project to help organizations take Web analytics in their own hands.

Piet Beertema connected Europe to the internet, NL still a very large domain.
