In SRS, our main expenses are related to community development, which can be divided into the following categories:

1. Infrastructure, such as the community's official website domain and VPS running on DigitalOcean, as well as blog hosting on Medium.
2. Tools, mainly AI tools, such as the cost of OpenAI's API and AI tools for generating documents and videos.
3. Basic project support, where we will allocate half of the expenses to open-source projects we use, such as FFmpeg, at the end of the year.
4. Equipment, primarily audio and video-related devices, including various embedded devices, different platform devices, cameras, and XR equipment.
5. Consultation fees, supporting senior developers in the community to participate in industry conferences and share travel expenses.
