I take it that those who didn't respond | want to go to FOSDEM, which is awesome! | | ==== Result ==== | | A Martin Owens | A Ted Gould | Abstain Tavmjong Bah | Abstain Marc Jeanmougin | Abstain Josh Andler | Abstain René de Hesselle | Abstain Jonathan Neuhauser | | The motion passes. ("All decisions of the Committee shall be made by | simple majority") | | Thankfully, Ted's concern has been resolved by Pono agreeing to | manage the grants. Thanks, Pono! | | I'll advertise the grant on the Inkscape chat. | | | Best regards | | Am 04.11.2023 um 20:54 schrieb Jonathan Neuhauser: | | | | | Dear all, | | ==== Background ==== | | | as discussed during yesterday's board meeting, I propose to cover the | travel expenses for project members who want to attend fosdem. | | | | ==== Travel grants ==== | | | The Inkscape Project is offering travel grants to help Inkscape | developers and community members attend FOSDEM 2024 in Brussels, | Belgium. Grants are intended to help cover travel expenses and boost | the project’s representation at this important conference. | | * | | The Inkscape Project will issue grants up to a maximum of USD 500 per | person and will spend a maximum of USD 5000 in total. | * | | Any person listed as Inkscape Member on the project website at the | time of their application is eligible. | * | | Grants will be issued on a first-come, first-serve basis. | * | | To request a grant, send an email with your estimated travel costs to | to the PLC at inkscape@sfconservancy.org by (latest!) January 31st, | 2023. A decision about the grant will be sent to you shortly after, | so you can proceed to book the tickets. | * | | If travel by train is available, train should be used preferably | instead of plane; apart from this, the most economic option should | be used. | * | | After FOSDEM, submit your travel receipts to and from FOSDEM to the | PLC. You will be reimbursed for expenses up to the grant amount you | requested, but it might not happen immediately. Please be mindful of | other’s financial needs (i.e. don’t request a grant of $500 if your | train costs $100) and the project’s resources. | | | We look forward to meeting you in Brussels! | | ==== What the PLC needs to do ==== | | For every incoming email, check whether the applicant is a member and | there is budget available. If yes, reply that the grant is approved. | (If no one else wants, I can handle that.) | | | ==== BALLOT ==== | | a) Approve the Travel grants program for FOSDEM 2024 as described | above, and allocate a total budget of $5000 for it. | | | b) No Travel grants for FOSDEM 2024. | | c) Other, please elaborate | | | As usual, PLC members should abstain if they plan to request a grant | themselves. | | Best regards | | Jonathan | | | | | | | | | | _______________________________________________ | Inkscape Board of Directors mailing list -- | inkscape-board@lists.inkscape.org To unsubscribe send an email to | inkscape-board-leave@lists.inkscape.org | _______________________________________________ | Inkscape Board of Directors mailing list -- | inkscape-board@lists.inkscape.org | To unsubscribe send an email to | inkscape-board-leave@lists.inkscape.org |
