Looks like I only replied to Martin last week.
I will abstain as a possible beneficiary of this proposal.

This is before a release, it's more about | focusing our attention on the many issues in the 1.5 branch and | giving | us some funding for administration to the bug tracker. | | Because this may need to be an ongoing program, I will request | funding | in blocks of three months and we can re-vote the next block on | review. | | I request a budget of $36,000 for 2 x 280 hours of engineering work | targeted at bug fixing in the 1.5 release which is approximately 20 | hours per week. | | And like last time $13,500 for 180 hours (15 hours per week) of | administration, writing, issues management, priorities, testing and | merge requests. | | Total budget: $49,500 | | If fewer hours are used per week they can be used and we don't have | to | vote quite so soon. | | The recruitment team will be made up of myself and one other Inkscape | member who will not be allowed to bid for the work. | | We will send out a call for interested and available workers to apply | for one of the three positions. Reports and meetings as described in | the attached document. | | a. Approve the budget for BFA 2026.1, | 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 |
