Hey all,
Sorry for the top posting but thought it could help change the course of the conversation a bit.
Given that this vote was a bit rushed and conversations happened in the PLC channel that everyone might not have had a chance to read, I thought it would help to talk about it a bit.
I mentioned in channel that the stickers were so popular at FOSDEM that we need more (good problem to have!). Since there was a large order coming in for the Hackfest, it makes financial sense to tack on some extra stickers to get a discount on bulk pricing. As a vote of convenience, these were combined into this single vote.
The questions around context for a vote are important, and while I feel the tone wasn't ideal for a discussion about the issue at hand and the policies at play, it's good that there's so much passion for the Inkscape community amongst the PLC members :)
I'd just like to remind everyone that we all have different approaches to conversation and discussion. We all want to build and grow the Inkscape community, and there are different priorities, scopes and decision rubrics that we use varyingly at different times to achieve these shared goals.
The prompt nature of needing the shipping seems to have escalated tensions, so I'd just like to take this opportunity to clear the air and ask everyone to take a moment to reflect on the above.
Thanks for all your hard work and incredible passion for Inkscape! -Pono

Hey everyone! We need moar stickers!
These are both for the hackfest stickers, and for the stickers for SFC and Inkscape reps attending conferences to hand out.
We'd also like another set of business cards with the hotkeys on the back. The SFC will be paying for these directly and shipping them out to Rene to distribute at the hackfest, so we need votes asap!
500 Cards: £44.47 2000 Inkscape Stickers: £133.40 1000 Hackfest Stickers: £30.00
Shipping: £30
Total: £237.87
Additional shipping may be required to send out hackfest stickers, so approval for up to £100.00 extra to reimburse for shipping stuff out to folks.
Total incl shipping (up to) £337.87
Vote: A. Fund stickers and cards B. Do not fund stickers and cards
Thanks! -C
