Linking to djangoCMS
by Martin Owens
Website update,
I've added djangoCMS to the website on request from the djangoCMS
project. They've added Inkscape to their website too, you can see it
here https://www.django-cms.org/en/partnerships/
Added here: https://inkscape.org/support-us/sponsors/ (infrastructure)
Background: djangoCMS is a project we've used for a long time for our
inkscape website (inkscape.org) and they are undergoing reforms to make
their project more sustainable. Hopefully a positive relationship will
help make the website a little cheaper to maintain (especially if we
can upstream some of our patches).

[REFERENDUM] Community Development Book Campaign
by Bryce Harrington
2020 Developer Education Book Campaign
======================================
Proposal:
---------
https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php?title=Community_Development
1. Purchase and distribute an Inkscape-related educational book for the
most active Inkscape contributors. Where we focused on programmers
in past campaigns, this will be open to all community contributors.
2. In total, the Inkscape Board intends to spend up to $2000 for
purchase of books for community contributors, including shipping and
handling costs. Our expectation is that most books will cost $40
plus up to another $10 shipping, but that the range may be more like
$25-100 per person generally in total. We anticipate 10-30 people
participating in this, with a cost of less than 20*($40+$10) on
average.
3. Recipients must have been actively contributing to the Inkscape
community in some tangible form for at least six months, with the
intention to continue, and the selected book should be one that will
aid in their continued contributions to Inkscape. Valid forms of
contribution include, but are not limited to: community development,
website content, visual design, user experience design, and
programming.
4. The campaign proposer (Tavmjong Bah, or their designee) will be
empowered to officially announce and introduce the campaign to the
larger community, and to encourage applicants. They will define the
schedule with deadlines for a) book suggestions, b) start of
applications, and c) end of applications. They will also be
charged with vetting applicants to verify they meet the criteria
listed here.
5. The list of books allowed to be selected will be open for public
suggestion up to the deadline date specified in (3). All books must
be topical to improvement of Inkscape's software, usage, or
community; the campaign proposer is charged with determination of
which books meet the criteria. All books must be orderable through
at least two major booksellers; the actual selection of which
bookseller to use is per the discretion of the Software Freedom
Conservancy (SFC).
6. Recipients must provide a valid name, shipping address, and desired
book to the campaign proposer (or their designee), who will then
provide the compiled and finalized list to SFC for purchasing and
shipment of the educational materials after the end of applications
deadline.
7. Appeal of any of the above should be made to the Inkscape
Board of Directors.
* [ ] a. Yes, conduct this campaign as defined above
* [ ] b. No, we should not conduct this campaign
* [ ] c. Maybe, but I disagree with some definition of the campaign
Background
----------
The rational is the same as the 2013 and 2014 campaigns. Give a "thank
you" present to our contributors and enhance their knowledge for
continued contributions.
