Comments:
Tav, since you proposed this I'm delegating you as the organizer. Let me know ASAP whether you're ok with this or not.
I will put out the announcement once I have your confirmation. I'll direct people to contact you for questions and to register. I figure you can handle it as first-come, first-served. I'd like to ask that board members wait three days before putting in a request, so we give preference to non-board folk.
Note that even if people register for this, they may end up not going, so maintain an ordered list and then after the event cross off any non-attendees and take the five that remain.
The main responsibility will be to make sure people collect receipts and get them to SFC. Please also check with Bradley and/or Tony for any special requirements that would make reimbursement smoother.
If anyone else has thoughts, chime in now. SFC and Bradley are CC'd as well now.

[ ] a. Cover travel and hotel expenses for up to 5 Inkscape developers to participate in LGM 2014, maximum of $500 per developer. [ ] b. Do not cover expenses for Inkscape developers to attend LGM.
Background:
LGM is an important meeting for the Libre graphics movement. This is a good place to showcase our upcoming release, Inkscape 0.91. Having Inkscape developers get together is always a good thing. Having Inkscape developers talking with others in the Libre Graphics movement might even be better.
Unfortunately, it is probably too late to have a developer propose to give a talk on Inkscape at the meeting.

"Developer" is defined as someone listed in Inkscape's AUTHORS file as of Feb 19, 2013. -- Bryce Harrington
