I agree, and it sounds like Martin would perhaps be interested. So, I'm okay with that. I could probably do it as well, but Martin is much closer.

When we talked with the W3C before there was some question about people who were working for companies that could be potential W3C members (Canonical specifically) representing Inkscape, and whether that would work within the W3C policies. We never got to a final conclusion on that. So I think Martin being independent solves some problems there as well.

Well, given that you said it's probably not worth the amount to send
you, I would probably be okay with something along the lines of the
$500 funding for someone "local" provided that they could fill in for
you on the speaking part.

Cheers,
