Dear Bryce.
A couple of months ago I contacted you about potentially donating to Inkscape (via sourceforge with the username poruko). You will no doubt be pleased to hear that my company decided to donate approx. 100 GBP to the Inkscape project via the Software Freedom Conservancy. (The payment had to go via US dollars, so the actual amount you end up with could vary slightly from that.) The donation will appear as originating from Elizabeth Cairns at our company, Quintessa Limited.
All the best,
Paul
Excellent, thanks Paul!
To give you some visibility into where we're allocating funds, the board has recently selected the following:
1. Purchase of various programming manuals for the top 10 contributors in 2013. The books just shipped last week.
2. Sponsorship of one of our developers to attend the SVG working group meeting in Leipzig, to cover travel, hotel, and meal costs.
3. Sponsorship of 6 developers to attend the LibreGraphics Meeting (LGM) also in Leipzig, covering up to $500 of expenses each.
Thanks again for your generous support.
Bryce
