It's been a great success, not only to | direct development of Inkscape, but also to the Inkscape community. | We plan on doing the same for this years event (May 9-12th in | Rennes, France). | | In order to be more inclusive of the Inkscape community, the event | will be named "Inkscape Summit".** All Inkscape community members | are welcome to attend. | | This proposal is to allocate funds to support Inkscape community | members with travel expenses to, from, and during the event | (transportation, accommodation, meals, misc. expenses), including | attending LGM. Support will be offered to all active community | members. Members can ask for support by contacting Tavmjong (the | event organizer) with a short statement listing their contributions | to Inkscape in the past year and with what they plan on working on | during the summit.** | | In the past we've offered up to $2000 per person. I would propose | increasing that to $2500 given the amount of inflation over the past | few years. Most attendees will be coming from the European area so | average travel costs should be lower. | | See: https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/Inkscape_Summit_2024_Rennes | | Proposal: | | Allocate funds to support travel to an Inkscape Summit and to LGM. Up | to $2500 will be available to each participant, subject to the SFC | travel policy. The maximum total amount being limited to $25000 | without further PLC approval. | | Allocate $500 for an Inkscape dinner for Inkscape community members | and their guests. | | Allocate $200 for snacks during the Inkscape Summit. | | Authorize Tavmjong to approve applications for travel support. | | Notes: | | Meeting location to be confirmed with Cedric. | | ** After discussion with developers and Vectors about event name and | travel support eligibility. | | |
