I am a chipy member that has a ton of gear and expertise. I likes making videos of things like chipy talks. For larger events like PyCon I will assemble a team of volunteers for that event. There is a group of about 6 of us that work together on the software and workflow. I am the only one that lives in the US. They generally don't know ChiPy happens unless we are experimenting with the live stream system. <br><br></div>I feel uncomfortable saying I charge money for doing chipy videos. That implies I am making videos because I think it is profitable and won't if I don't get paid. I am comfortable saying I will sell add space on the front of the video, and will spend the money on whatever I feel like. In the last 12 months, I have collected a total of about $1000. ChiPy took out 20%. <br><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div class="gmail_extra"><br> I have a for profit LLC. It makes the PyCon expense reimbursement process 100x easier.
