Resolution:

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.
