Dear Project Leadership,
The developer team discussed requesting a fund for bug fixing in the 1.5 branch specifically. This is before a release, it's more about focusing our attention on the many issues in the 1.5 branch and giving us some funding for administration to the bug tracker.
Because this may need to be an ongoing program, I will request funding in blocks of three months and we can re-vote the next block on review.
I request a budget of $36,000 for 2 x 280 hours of engineering work targeted at bug fixing in the 1.5 release which is approximately 20 hours per week.
And like last time $13,500 for 180 hours (15 hours per week) of administration, writing, issues management, priorities, testing and merge requests.
Total budget: $49,500
If fewer hours are used per week they can be used and we don't have to vote quite so soon.
The recruitment team will be made up of myself and one other Inkscape member who will not be allowed to bid for the work.
We will send out a call for interested and available workers to apply for one of the three positions. Reports and meetings as described in the attached document.
a. Approve the budget for BFA 2026.1, b. Disapprove c. Something else
Thanks everyone.
