Productivity and Focus | | The project so far has cleared about 55-60% of the 1.5 marked bugs. | There has been a great deal of activity in both categorising, | reviewing | and fixing issues. The list of issues fixed can be found on the | Inkscape membership blog. | | I assess that this has been remarkably successful. | | 2. Availability | | The second part is the availability of the three contractors to work | for three more months. One programmer Sean, will not be available for | an extension while the other two will be available. | | In order to keep the strength of the team and the dynamic of merge | request reviews I recommend that we contract out to the next | available | person who applied for the original contract. | | Conclusion: | | I recommend we extend the program a further three months as | originally | planned. The same number of hours as we currently have. With the | additional selection of a replacement programmer. | | Total renewal budget: $49,500 | Terms: Same as "Bugfix Accelerator 2026.1" | | ========== VOTE ========== | | a. Approve the budget for BFA 2026.2, | b. Disapprove | c. Something else | | Thanks everyone! | | Best Regards, Martin Owens | _______________________________________________ | Inkscape Board of Directors mailing list -- | inkscape-board@lists.inkscape.org | To unsubscribe send an email to | inkscape-board-leave@lists.inkscape.org |
