I missed out heaps in my first go.
* Organisation and Administrative costs
  Phone call and other costs by the organisers.
  (don't forget their time - donated free to the cause)

* Cost of processing registrations
  The cost of payments should be factored into this section as well.
  CC Payments and bank transaction fees.  Access of a secure website for
  online CC transactions.
  If attendance is free, I guess no registration is needed unless it is
  to ensure rooms are of adequate size.

* Advertising/publicity
  Admittedly currently for this group it will be almost zero since the
  targetted audience are members of this mailing list.


I think whatever venue chosen, one should also ensure easy access to
reasoably priced coke/V/caffeine-drink-of-choice through the day.
Perhaps ensure there's a coke/V vending machine nearby?
