Board diversity
by Bryce Harrington 30 Sep '20

30 Sep '20

At the meeting today, Martin raised a point about improving the diversity of the board. Since we did not have full attendance I took the action to start a thread on the mailing list, so we can all discuss it prior to making any tangible proposals. Hopefully a recording of today's meeting is captured and available somewhere for Josh and Ted to review. The two points that would need worked out is first identifying a plan for recruiting for the diversity we wish to gain, and second making room on the board for new members. Let's hear everyone's thoughts and opinions on both matters. Bryce

Hi Thomas, I tested google, evolution, korganiser and an online ical tester. All show the ical in UTC and the correct 9AM start time for EST. Not sure what's happened when you added the ical into google, did it pick up that it was UTC in the settings? (should be automatic) Software wise: This is off the self components. Not an implementation ourselves. 200 lines of mostly boiler plate python to wire standard modules together and some html templates so it looks like something. I created this in one day, I'm an amazing programmer, but I'm not Scotty. Best Regards, Martin Owens

Outreachy planning
by Bryce Harrington 12 Jul '20

12 Jul '20

Outreachy was mentioned in the board meeting again today, and I took an action to review what had been decided by the board for Outreachy funding previously. https://alpha.inkscape.org/board/referendums/resolutions/outreachy_2018.html So it looks like last time, we were anticipating some external sponsorship, so voted to establish a way for sponsors to tag their donations to the program. I checked our donation records and there were no contributions tagged for outreachy, so I think no funds were raised. However, the resolution was not year-specific, so if we were to solicit sponsorship for outreachy I believe the financial bucket is there for it. There is also the option to sponsor the students ourselves, at $6500 apiece. However, a more important initial requirement is to identify a coordinator to run our end of the project. The duties are spelled out by the program: https://www.outreachy.org/mentor/#coordinator The coordinator doesn't need to be a board member, but should be someone active in and familiar with the Inkscape project. Can you guys identify someone willing to take this role? Bryce
