Funding for Attendance at the Graphics Web Conference ------------------------------------
1. Background =============
The Graphical Web Conference, formerly SVS Open, is the premier conference focusing on Web graphics. Inkscape is a native editor for SVG content and is widely used for producing web graphics. It is useful for us to have a representative at this conference to keep up on the latest developments in web graphics as well as to promote Inkscape. The conference organizers have waived the conference fee for our representative as well as provide a slot for a talk on SVG 2 and Inkscape.
For reference, Inkscape's 2015 budget is posted at https://inkscape.org/en/about/governance/budget/
2. Support for Inkscape representative ======================================
Inkscape board will provide a maximum of $500 to support the attendance of an Inkscape representative to attend the Graphical Web conference in Pittsburgh in September 2015. The representative is expected to give a talk focusing on SVG 2 and Inkscape's support for SVG 2 features.
