Wall Papersits time to reveal the biggest secret of all, EGLUG's finances and off shore bank accounts will all be revealed read on.
joking aside the only real costs associated with EGLUG concern the website hosting and domain name which is supposed to be covered by the admins. this is an attempt to document whats been paid since december 2004 and to nefde7 those who don't pay regularly.
before december 2004
we where running on a shared hosting account @ hostony, the costs of both the hosting and the account where covered by devcabal (ie split between, Alaa, MohammedSameer, YoussefAssad, Ezabi and WhirlPool).
until we got stuck, by december 2004 Alaa and MohammedSameer got ourselves a UML based VPS @ rimu and we transfered EGLUG on that host.
Alaa paid the hosting and then collected the money from the admins
From december 2004 to february 2005
we figured the VPS resources will split to 3, one third for Alaa, one third for MohammedSameer, and one third for EGLUG, however since we where already paying large chunks of money for the VPS it was decided that the EGLUG share will be paid but the other admins, that is Whirlpool and YoussefAssad
| month | VPS total cost | EGLUG share | Single Admin Share | Yet to pay |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| dec 2004 | 20$ | 7$ | 3.5$ | |
| jan 2005 | 20$ | 7$ | 3.5$ | |
| feb 2005 | 30$ | 10$ | 5$ |
notice the increase on feb, EGLUG was consuming way to much resources and we had to ask for a ram upgrade
March and April 2005
this is after elections, YoussefAssad resigned, and Ezabi and Conceptor where elected, the ELUG share is now split on three admins
we had to increase RAM again
| month | VPS total cost | EGLUG share | Single Admin Share | Yet to pay |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| mar 2005 | 40$ | 15$ | 5$ | |
| apr 2005 | 40$ | 15$ | 5$ |
May 2005
due to problems in paying using Egyptian credt cards we had to move again, this time Alaa and MohammedSameer split, each got a VPS on a different company, since Alaa's RoseHosting VPS had more RAM EGLUG was transfered to it.
since MoahmmedSameer no longer pays a share for the VPS that runs EGLUG he is back to contributing to EGLUG's share, this makes it split on 4 admins
| month | VPS total cost | EGLUG share | Single Admin Share | Yet to pay |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| may 2005 | 30$ | 10$ | 2.5$ |
on that month we had to renew the EGLUG domains, for the cost of 10$ per domain. Alaa paid for the .org domain and Ezabi paid for the .net domain, domain costs are split on all 5 admins
| domain | Total cost | single admin share | Yet to pay |
|---|---|---|---|
| .org | 10$ | 2$ | |
| .net | 10$ | 2$ |
so if my memory did not fail me and I did not forget some payment here is the balance

big mess mesh keda
now there is a point I'd like to raise, EGLUG is actually using half and not a third of the VPS resources and it is becoming a big strain, I'd really like to add some extra ram and have EGLUG pay 1/2 not 1/3
