Background:
-----------
See http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Hackfest2018_Kiel for the
details of the event.

We expect the cost to be on the order of what past events have run, in
so probably in the range of $5k-$15k total, consisting almost entirely
of travel and lodging costs, as venue and supplies costs are projected
to be modest.

For funding levels, we've discussed perhaps trying something different
than we've done traditionally, in order to facilitate broader
participation and to help motivate attendance by people newer to the
project or more tangentially involved, so we can benefit from their
perspectives and perhaps help tie them into the project more deeply.
We want a bit more time to think and discuss these ideas, and to get a
better feel for attendance levels, so will be holding off on voting
approval for travel sponsorship arrangements to a second vote after this
one to formally decide on holding the event in Kiel has passed.
