Re: Red Hat hacking session:
Sounds like we're all in favor, but we'll want to hold a proper board vote so it's official. For that we'll need a rough dollar amount to budget and a list of whom will be attending.
Tav, you know the drill for writing up a proposal, would you mind drafting one for this?
Yes, I have begun to draft a proposal. Two key problems: One, identifying who to invite; two list of topics to be addressed.
Who to invite? Invitees should be experienced with either GTK or UX. Here is my list: please suggest others:
su_v: Probably won't attend. LiamW: Currently working on Mac OSX port. Cannot attend. Johan: Willing to help remotely with Mac OSX builds. Jazzy Nico: Has done GTK work. Alex Valenis: Worked on GTK3 port. Krzysztof: Good knowledge of internal Inskcape code and event handling. Jon Cruz: Good knowledge of internal code, Mac OSX development. Bulia: Good knowledge of internal code, working on Inkscape again. Martin: Local coordinator.
As to the second problem, I've started a wiki page for GTK issues:
