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?

It's way more useful for you to personally know these than for spreadshirt development. We can work on that more in the coming year if you have time. Do you have good tutorials?

[REFERENDUM] Hackfest attendance for Ryan Gorley
by Bryce Harrington 09 Feb '18

09 Feb '18

A majority vote of the current board members is required for the following matter. Proposal: --------- Reimburse Ryan Gorley up to $1000 for travel expenses to attend the 2018 Inkscape Hackfest in Boston. - [ ] a. Yes, approve the reimbursement as stated above. - [ ] b. No, do not approve reimbursement as stated above. Votes: ------ | Board Member | 1. | | -------------------- |:--:| | Bryce Harrington | | | Josh Andler | | | Tavmjong Bah | | | Ted Gould | | | Martin Owens | | | Marc Jeanmougin | | | Chris Rogers | | Resolution: ----------- Background: ----------- Ryan Gorley is lead for Inkscape's Vectors team, in which role he is heavily involved in marketing, fundraising, and infrastructure activities for the project. He will be bringing camera equipment (tripod, lighting, etc.) to the event for capturing interviews and audio recording. Due to this activity his attendance at the 2018 Hackfest in Boston is vital to the project. He is a relatively new member of Inkscape (will be 11 months as of the date of the event), however, and the types of contributions he makes are not directly measurable as patches, so the established hackfest reimbursement rules do not cover the expected expenses for his attendance. His sponsorship was discussed at the Feb 2018 Inkscape Board meeting and there was a rough consensus favoring holding a vote for sponsoring him. Martin Owens has offered to share lodging, so Ryan's expected expenses should total less than $1000, which is the allocation level we generally provide for 1-year contributors. Note, this resolution does not increase the budget for the hackfest nor does it open up invitations to any other person without board consent.

[REFERENDUM] Accept hosting sponsorship from DigitalOcean

08 Feb '18

Your vote is needed to accept hosting sponsorship from DigitalOcean. 1. Accept DigitalOcean's offer of $500 credit on their virtual hosting system for use in provisioning various Inkscape web services. Add DigitalOcean as a Bronze level sponsor for 2018. Authorize Conservancy to initiate registration with DigitalOcean for Inkscape. - [ ] a. Yes, accept DigitalOcean's sponsorship - [ ] b. No Votes: ------ | Board Member | 1. | | -------------------- |:--:| | Bryce Harrington | | | Josh Andler | | | Tavmjong Bah | | | Ted Gould | | | Martin Owens | | | Marc Jeanmougin | | | Chris Rogers | | Resolved: --------- 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.
