Dear PLC,

*Background:*

Jonathan Neuhauser (@joneuhauser at Gitlab and chat.inkscape.org) is

submitting a proposal to hire two core developers for the equivalent of

a month of work each to fix bugs and regressions during the remaining

time until the 1.3 release. This proposal is a slightly changed version

of the one voted on in December; with the main change that one

contractor was removed to take into account PLC member remarks asking

for a smaller scale first attempt.

The complete proposal is appended; it contains all the details on the

selection process, persons, objectives as well as a remark on why the

Dev team asserts the opinion that at least two contractors should be

hired for this project.

*Proposal:*

Voting is needed on the following items:

- hiring Rafal Siejakowski and Martin Owens as contractors during the

bugfixing season in order to fix known bugs before 1.3 is released,

- allocating a total of USD 22,400 as compensation for the two contractors.

Details on the process are lined out in the attached document.

*Ballot:*

a. Accept the above items.

b. No, cease effort for Bugfix Accelerator 2023

c. Other: ______

Best regards,
