VOTE: Adjust FSA address
by Ted Gould 05 Mar '22

05 Mar '22

Background We voted to remove Bryce's address from our FSA and when we sent that to the SFC they responded that an address was required. Apparently the address is used as a means of last resort if they can not in any way contact the project. Upon discussion Marc has volunteered to use his university address for this address. It would mean that, if for what ever reason the project disappeared, the SFC would look towards Marc to transfer everything associated with the project. Proposal Replace the Bryce Harrington's address in the preamble of the FSA with the following address: Marc Jeanmougin Télécom Paris 19, place Marguerite Perey 91123 Palaiseau Cedex France Votes a. Replace Byrce's address with Marc's b. Keep Bryce's address c. Replace with something else: _______ Timeline Hoping to close this vote when everyone has voted or by Friday Feb. 18, which ever comes first.

IDEA: Dates on votes
by Ted Gould 04 Mar '22

04 Mar '22

Howdy PLC, Personally I love the idea that anyone can propose a vote. But the issue comes in how that gets documented and closed. I've been trying to keep the archive of resolutions up-to-date. And I'm fine with that, but one thing that I haven't done is closed votes other folks have opened. I felt like that was overreach. As there is likely to be some discussion I have felt that it is possible the proposer would want to revoke and repropose based on that discussion and closing the vote was taking that option away. But, sometimes things get stuck. Our FSA says that votes should generally be a week unless otherwise noted. So I think that we could just have that, unless otherwise noted, we assume it is exactly a week and I'm happy to clean up and close the vote. Or we could just add something to our standard template that is the date of closing. Or we could do nothing. I don't know how we need to proceed on any decision there. But I wanted to bring up the issue and I wasn't sure if folks were aware of the assumptions I was working on. Ted

Job Posting
by Martin Owens 04 Mar '22

Dear Leadership Committee, Following our successful vote to hire a project coordinator, I'm here to report the progress and the remaining process for this job posting. I spoke with Pono from the SFC to finalise the details and the process they would like. These include: * The creation of a private mailing list where applications can go. Marc has created jobs(a)lists.inkscape.org which is a list of the hiring panel, and pono and myself as observers. I think Marc is there too as list admin. * Creation of the complete job text here: https://inkscape.org/jobs/project-coordinator-2022/ which the SFC wanted us to host on our own website. Included modifications from the SFC are the sentence for "equal opportunity employer" and the final section in how to apply for the job. The schedule for the submission of applicants and review processes is in that final section. * The formation of three inkscape community members to vet applications. Tim, prkos and michele have volunteered and are added to the above list. ~ Process todo: Confirm pono is on the mailing list and is receiving emails. Give job posting to the Vector's team for publication, however they would like to do that. A news article, twitter, etc etc. I need two other PLC members to form the finalisation panel, to conduct video interviews once we have a short list. Each interview could be an hour long, and there should be three at least in the short list, so please be aware of the time commitment at the start of April. Best Regards, Martin Owens
