Background:
Past hackfests have provided excellent opportunities for Inkscape developers to meet in person, discuss the project and coordinate work on bug-fixing, feature planning, and other efforts. In the past we've also sought to align the location and time of the event with conferences or groups in the area to permit external collaborations as well. Our experience so far seems to show that we're getting far more tangible benefit out of the internal interactions than the external ones.
Thus, this event will focus more sharply on the hackfest itself, giving us much greater flexibility for time and location.
Tavmjong Bah has volunteered as event coordinator for the hackfest event (with help from Marc).
