NewPipe e.V.

The 6th plenum amended the budget plan devised by the 5th plenum to spend up to 42.750 EUR in 2025. This page gives an overview of our planned spendings.

• With around 23.000 EUR, we plan to spend the more than half of our total budget on paid NewPipe development work. Additional money is dedicated to hardware for contributors, and for some inital UI / UX consulting to determine our needs more closely (although we do not expect to actually spend this budget in the ongoing year, for lack of time).
• Taxes amount for most of our Operational Cost, as we reserve a budget in case we need to pay taxes for three years up to now (2023, 2024, 2025). We also have to pay administrative fees to our notary and the registration court, and may need tax consultancy. Additionally, a percentage of the money that is given to us goes towards banking and transaction fees.
• After the attendance of FOSDEM as a team was a great success, we have once again allocated some money for Conference participation (i. e. travel cost and accomodation) to meet at the open source conference FrOSCon. Some of our money was spent on permanent material for our awesome booth that we brought to FrOSCon.
• Besides open source conferences, we also spent some focused time together outside of conferences in an internal meetup. Additionally, we want to send some of our members to 39C3.
• Our Infrastructure is billed recurringly by our hosting providers. We are also hoping to hire a paid contributor for some improvements to our infrastructure in 2025.
• Like last year, we are planning Donations towards Weblate and Liberapay in addition to the FOSDEM conference. We also sent a symbolic contribution to LuanRT to thank them for their work.
• Finally, Merchandise is used as thank-you gifts for contributors, and as promotional material for our conference attendances.
