Hm. I concur with Ted and Bryce on these points.

Sponsorship for Tav for the formerly named SVG Open conference
by Josh Andler
Hey all,
I'm asking on behalf of Tavmjong Bah for funding for him to be able to
attend "The Graphical Web" (used to be SVG Open) conference, the
partial cost of hotel coverage, and the cost of a train ride to attend
the W3 meeting taking place afterwards.
Here is a summary from him describing everything...
"I am asking for support to attend the SVG Working Group meeting being
held after the Graphical Web conference (formerly SVG Open) in Zurich.
Topics that I will push at the meeting include mesh gradients, marker
clipping, marker color matching stroke color, extrapolated join style,
screening filter primitive, hatchings, and flowed text. Some of these
items have been discussed on my blog at:
http://tavmjong.free.fr/blog/
I can also present any other issues that Inkscapers feel are important.
The Working Group meeting will be held at a mountain hotel near
Lucerne. I am asking for $680 ($80 for train fare, 4 nights at $150
per night for the hotel). The hotel will actually be more than I am
requesting but the extra will be covered by the organizers of the
conference if they have a surplus (otherwise I will cover the
difference). My attendance at the conference will be supported by the
conference organizers.
The SVG Working Group has been very receptive to my input informed by
my work on Inkscape as it represents a unique viewpoint (in a group
dominated by browser vendors)."
I will outright say I support it and that Tav is our sole influence
within the SVG WG and also contributes the code to help us back him up
on what our users want... Mesh gradients for example.
One "Aye" vote on funding... others?
Cheers,
Josh
