Background
----------
A new sponsor is asking us for follow links and footer links in a
pretty aggressive way. It seems like the project might be offering
ourselves up for abuse by people who want search engine optimisation.
RedHat have recently also sponsored us for $20k, this puts their
sponsorship at twice our highest level, and it wasn't even a sweat for
them.

Charter Discussion Meeting

Dear Developers and Board,
We're organising to have a video chat in 3 weeks time to discuss
opening Inkscape up to allowing more contributors that just programmers
to vote on board elections.
Please attend if you are a team leader or if you are interested in how
the project should certify contributions from all our different teams.
