I vote A. I'll be happily surprised if 3 viable projects are arranged this year and would want to encourage it.

Cheers,
Josh

A majority vote of the current board members is required for the
following matter.

Proposal:

Allocate $750 total from Inkscape's 2015 Budget for three Pre-Approved Jobs.

        [ ]  a.  Yes, allocate money from budget to jobs
        [ ]  b.  No, do not allocate from budget

Background:

Inkscape has set up a funded development process[1], and following that
process has pre-approved[2] three projects from a list of suggestions.
In the recent budget vote[3], we've budgeted $750 to spend in 2015 on
funded work.  This vote is to formally allocate $250 to each project's
funds.

I envision we'll need to do some fundraising on top of this to make the
jobs more attractive, but this will give us a starting point.
