April 2014 - Inkscape Board of Directors

[REFERENDUM] LGM Attendance 2014
by Bryce Harrington 04 Jun '14

The board is requested to vote on the following matter: Proposal: [ ] a. Cover travel and hotel expenses for up to 5 Inkscape developers to participate in LGM 2014, maximum of $500 per developer. [ ] b. Do not cover expenses for Inkscape developers to attend LGM. Background: LGM is an important meeting for the Libre graphics movement. This is a good place to showcase our upcoming release, Inkscape 0.91. Having Inkscape developers get together is always a good thing. Having Inkscape developers talking with others in the Libre Graphics movement might even be better. Unfortunately, it is probably too late to have a developer propose to give a talk on Inkscape at the meeting. -- Tavmjong Bah "Developer" is defined as someone listed in Inkscape's AUTHORS file as of Feb 19, 2013. -- Bryce Harrington

Mac developer ID

Hi all, This just came up on the dev maillist: does Inkscape have a Mac developer ID. This looks like a board issue. Although I have a Mac, I am quite the noob on it, and do not know about Mac developer IDs. Perhaps su-v can chime in. If this is something we need for a smoother experience on Mac, I hope someone can take initiative or tell me how to get the ID and credentials for us. Considering we are so close to native OSX builds, it'd be pretty nice to release 0.91 with it. regards, Johan

Hi, At LGM, two people offered to help us raise money: Sirko Kemter (who teaches the use of Inkscape and was one of the organizers of LGM) has offered to host a developer's hacking session in Leipzig, possibly in September. He has suggested that he could get money from Google for this. David Crossland (who has a contract with Google to work on Google Fonts) is eager to get 0.91 out as it has some font related features. He has suggested that he might be able to find money to pay someone in the Philippines to do release work. I am not sure how serious he was. Tav
