The Graphical Web Conference
by Tavmjong Bah
Hi,
The Graphical Web Conference (formerly SVG Open) is taking place Sept
23-26 in Pittsburgh.
https://www.graphicalweb.org/2015/
I submitted a talk on SVG 2 (in which I highlight Inkscape) which was
accepted. For the past few years the conference has fully paid my
travel costs (I've asked Inkscape for backup funding each time but I
never had to use it). This year it is clear that the conference will be
unable to fund my travel as they are running a rather large deficit. It
is probably not worth the $1500 it would take for Inkscape to send me
to the conference but it might be worth sending someone who is closer,
especially if that person could fill in for me. I was thinking maybe
along the line of $500 of support. (We can probably get the conference
fee waived.)
What do you all think about this?

Dear Board,
This tool has recently appeared on my radar and it might be worth
deploying for our password management needs:
https://demo.rattic.org/
It's django based and would be easy enough to deploy on our existing
system.
Thoughts?
