Vote: a.
This meeting should be considered a sort of half way point for our prospective 1.0 release. Hopefully we can focus on jobs relating to this preparation.
Do we know how possible it is to invite a MacOSX packager to join us? It's something that needs sorting out for 1.0 proper.
It's a good question but I haven't noticed activity on that.

Resolution:
Background:
See http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Hackfest2018_Kiel for the details of the event.
We expect the cost to be on the order of what past events have run, in so probably in the range of $5k-$15k total, consisting almost entirely of travel and lodging costs, as venue and supplies costs are projected to be modest.
For funding levels, we've discussed perhaps trying something different than we've done traditionally, in order to facilitate broader participation and to help motivate attendance by people newer to the project or more tangentially involved, so we can benefit from their perspectives and perhaps help tie them into the project more deeply. We want a bit more time to think and discuss these ideas, and to get a better feel for attendance levels, so will be holding off on voting approval for travel sponsorship arrangements to a second vote after this one to formally decide on holding the event in Kiel has passed.
