Re: [Inkscape-board] spreadshirt merch
by C R
Not really. I don't see anyone posting videos on using bzr and go to store
passwords. All I really need is the username and password for our
spreadshirt account. I don't need all the usernames and passwords for
everything at this point.
Can someone help we with that and we can do "all the things" later?

I'd recommend focusing on bzr and gpg, if you don't have time for both

in the coming year if you have time.
Do you have good tutorials?

Background:
-----------
In 2017, the Inkscape Board [solicited sponsorship offers][1] for web
hosting. We [received an offer][2] from DigitalOcean that provides
a credit for $500 in service on their virtual hosting platform. It
doesn't match all the requirements we had called for, but it may be able
to address near term service needs while we continue our search.
Registration with DigitalOcean requires entry of financial information
so will need to be performed by the Software Freedom Conservancy staff
for us. This vote authorizes them to do so.

credentials repo moved to new location
by Bryce Harrington
Just a quick note that the credentials repository has been moved, as
discussed last board meeting.
When we switched from bzr to git, the credentials repository was moved
over as a branch of the inkscape codebase. Apart from being awkward it
also made it very slow to download (since it was downloading the
entirety of the inkscape code history, only to replace all the code with
the credentials stuff...)
Anyway, I exported the git history and imported it as a new project,
which will live here in its new permanent location:
https://gitlab.com/inkscape/infra/credentials
I've also made this private to logged in Inkscape project team members
only. No one outside our project should really need this so I think
that is appropriate. Let me know if you run into problems, and I can
adjust permissions and things to improve convenience.
(You'll also notice I'm putting project internal service-ish stuff like
this into a subcategory 'infra'. As we go through updating mailing
lists, wiki, forums and other such things we can use this to collect
random bits and pieces like service configs here.)

[Fwd: Platinum Sponsor Request]
by Bryce Harrington
Hello Mr. Visvakumar,
The Inkscape board members were very pleased to hear of your interest,
and look forward to partnership with you in achieving these goals.
Thank you for your interest in platinum level sponsorship. There are
several ways to process the $10,000US, listed at
https://inkscape.org/en/support-us/donate/, including paypal,
check/money order, or wire transfer. This donations is fully
tax-deductable.
We will follow up with more detailed proposals for technical and
training support.
Thanks,
Bryce
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear,
I am G N Visvakumar, President of Madras Printers' and Lithographer's Association and also a part of The All India Federation of Master Printers which represents around 2,50,000 printers across India. Most of the designers and printers in India are using Coreldraw and Adobe Illustrator, Indesign softwares. Though India is a very big market the prices of the above products are very high and not affordable to the small printers of India. Moreover Adobe is now available in Cloud only and it is almost impossible for the small printers and designers. Recently Adobe and Coreldraw are harassing the designers and printers to buy licence for all the systems they use, whether they use them for designing or not. In this circumstances we are searching for softwares which is more or less equivalent or better in performance of Coreldraw and Adobe products. We are ready to support such programmes.
Please send us a detailed mail
what you require from us
Financial Support,
Technical Support
Training Support etc.
An early reply is highly appreciated.
G.N. Visvakumar
President, Madras Printer's and Lithographers' Association

Future hackfest ideas
by Bryce Harrington
When drafting the vote for this coming hackfest, a couple things
occurred to me regarding making our events more welcoming and inviting.
First, while I like the fairness of our reimbursement schedule for
longer term contributors, I wonder if it might be a bit exclusionary for
situations where we do want to encourage newer developers to get
involved and join in. It makes me wonder if we should revisit the tiers
and make sure the numbers aren't hindering attendance at these events?
Second, the tiers quantify based on patchcount, but many of our
developers are making numerous important contributions that can't be
measured in git commits. Where we do use a tiered system, it would be
beneficial if we could find ways to structure it to recognize that
work.
Lastly, I worry a bit that not all types of people may feel comfortable
attending a hackfest - language, gender, age, work duties, family
requirements, etc. can affect someone's choice to attend. We invest a
fair amount of the project's money into these hackfests, but if they are
only effectively open to a subset of our membership it makes me wonder
if we need to broaden our thinking for other kinds of gathering
activities that might suit some of these other participants.
Anyway, nothing here to do regarding the upcoming hackfest, time's too
short. But what do you guys think of these ponderings in relation to
making our future activities more inclusive of a wider variety of
people?

[REFERENDUM] LGM Attendance 2018
by Bryce Harrington
A second mini-hackfest is tentatively planned be held in conjunction
with the LGM meeting in Seville, Spain April 26th through April 30th.
Google may be providing some support for travel to LGM. They are
interested in adding Variable Font support to Inkscape.
Details are available on the Inkscape wiki at:
Seville: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Hackfest2018_LGM
Proposal:
[ ] a. Cover travel and hotel expenses for Inkscape
developers to participate in LGM 2018, at half our typical
hackfest rates.
[ ] b. The budgeted funds for LGM should be used some other way:
________________________________________________________
Allocation for attending hackfest:
* Up to $1000 each for Inkscape developers who have contributed for 3+
years and > 200 commits.
* Up to $750 each for Inkscape developers who have contributed for 2+
years and > 100 commits.
* Up to $500 each for Inkscape developers who have contributed for 1+
year and > 50 commits.
* Up to $250 each for any Inkscape contributor listed in AUTHORS file
with at least 10 commits by Jan 1, 2018.

Resolution:

Background:
-----------
LGM is an important meeting for the Libre graphics movement. While we
won't be having a separate, distinct hackfest apart from it, as we've
done in the past, this event serves as a good opportunity for European
Inkscapers to meet up and to interact with the larger FOSS graphics
community.
Sample Announcement from Past LGM:
----------------------------------
Interested in meeting up with fellow Inkscapers? Thanks to generous
donations to the project, we are able to provide funds to reimburse five
developers up to $500 each for attendance at the Libre Graphics Meeting
in Leipzig in April.
Anyone in the AUTHORS file as of Feb 19th, 2014 is eligible to apply.
To register, please email Tavmjong Bah, our coordinator for the event,
by March 6th to get on the list. He'll let you know what position you
are in the list. Then, register for the conference, enjoy your time,
and save your receipts. Afterwards email copies of the receipts to Tav,
who will forward them along to SFC for reimbursement. A maximum of $500
US each will be reimbursed to five attendees for travel, hotel room, and
food.
Note that the LGM meeting may also give partial reimbursements, so if
your total costs exceed $500 they may be able to help.
In addition, the board is sponsoring Tavmjong Bah to attend both LGM as
a speaker and as our event coordinator, and the co-located SVG Working
Group Meeting. Tav will be representing Inkscape's interests at the SVG
meeting, and will be working with them on features including mesh
gradients, hatched fills, and auto-flowed text.
Thank you to everyone who has contributed to Inkscape in the past. Your
funding has made these sponsorships possible. We've found these
face-to-face meetings invaluable both for sharing ideas and as general
inspiration for advancement of the project.
Previous Years' Website Blurb:
Thanks to generous donations from users, the Inkscape Project is pleased
to pay for five developers to attend the Libre Graphics Meeting, to be
held in Leipzig in April. Tavmjong Bah will be presenting and is
sponsored to go as Inkscape's event coordinator; please contact him if
you are an Inkscape developer and would like added to the sponsorship
list.
Tav will also be sponsored to attend the co-located SVG Working Group
Meeting. Tav will be representing Inkscape's interests at the SVG
meeting, and will be working with them on features including mesh
gradients, hatched fills, and auto-flowed text.

following alterations:
___________________________________________________
- [ ] c. Do not approve holding a hackfest

- [ ] a. Use ranked reimbursement. Long term, high commit developers
are sponsored up to a higher maximum than new developers.
- [ ] b. Use open ended. We'll fully cover all valid expenses
incurred by the sponsorees.
- [ ] c. Other:
___________________________________________________
- [ ] d. Do not reimburse for Paris hackfest expenses
3. The Inkscape Board sponsors a dinner event, to be funded from the
Inkscape general fund (instead of the hackfest fund), for Hackfest
attendees and guests.
- [ ] a. Yes. Allocate $600 from Inkscape's general fund for a dinner.
- [ ] b. Yes, but handle funding the dinner in a different way:
____________________________________________________

Background:

Past hackfests have provided excellent opportunities for Inkscape
developers to meet in person, discuss the project and coordinate work
on bug-fixing, feature planning, and other efforts. In the past we've
sometimes sought to align the location and time of the event with
conferences or groups in the area to permit external collaborations as
well. Boston is home to Red Hat and a number of other important
companies in the FOSS community, and we hope to extend invitations.
Martin Owens has volunteered as event coordinator for the hackfest
event (with help from Tav).

Trademark Issue
by Martin Owens
Wacom has a service called 'Inkspace'
http://www.wacom.com/en-us/products/apps-services/inkspace
I'm getting support requests from people who think Inkscape is
Inkspace.
I can sanitise the website and make sure there's no cross terms. But to
be honest, this looks like a case for the lawyers, since it's so close
to Inkscape's trademark that it's going to cause confusion.
Thoughts?
