2019 Stickers Bulk Purchase =========================== Resolution: ----------- Chris Rogers is authorized for reimbursement up to 200 £ for printing and shipping of commemorative stickers for Inkscape releases and hackfests. Receipts or invoices for each item and shipping charge should be collected and submitted to SFC according to their reimbursement policy: https://sfconservancy.org/projects/policies/conservancy-travel-policy.html Proposal: --------- Voting is needed to fund purchasing another batch of Inkscape stickers. These are the high quality waterproof metallic vinyl stickers that we've used (to high demand) for hackfests, but featuring the generic Inkscape theme. Stickers have proven to be a popular way to promote Inkscape at public events, and we've run completely out of the 1,000 we purchased last time. Marc Jeanmougin is authorized for reimbursement up to $1250 for printing and shipping of 10,000 stickers for distribution at Inkscape events. - [ ] a. Yes, authorize reimbursement of up to $1250 for 10,000 stickers. - [ ] b. Yes, authorize reimbursement of up to $220 for 1,000 stickers. - [ ] c. Yes, authorize reimbursement of up to $A for $B stickers. - [ ] d. No, do not authorize reimbursement for printing stickers.

By doing so we can get them quite cheaply. CR reports he can get high quality stickers at the following rates: * 1000 stickers for 150 pounds ($192) * 10,000 stickers for 900 pounds ($1156) Mc will be purchasing this batch, using Cr's design and purchasing guidance. The stickers will then be distributed at various Inkscape events over the coming year.

Bugfest and hackfest
by Tavmjong Bah 04 Nov '19

Hi, I've prepared pages on the Wiki for the proposed bugfest in December and Hackfest in May at LGM: https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Bugfest2019 https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Hackfest2020_Rennes Bugfest: * We need to decide on exact dates once Mc can reserve a room. Given the short lead time, it might be good to have the bugfest overlap a weekend. I'm personally available from Sunday, the 1st of December through Saturday, the 7th (except Wednesday). We need to send out invitations ASAP, especially if we'll reimburse travel costs. * I would propose that we treat this as a mini hackfest and offer reimbursement of up to $1000 for travel costs (I'll have zero cost as I live about a 20 minute drive away from the venue). We'll need a vote on this. * I've included MIT as a possible North American site but that would depend on if anybody can join Martin there. Hackfest: * I've sent an email to Elisa asking if there is space for us to have a hackfest before or after LGM. I personally can only attend if it is before. Tav
