Resolution:
-----------
Background:
-----------
Ryan Gorley is lead for Inkscape's Vectors team, in which role he is
heavily involved in marketing, fundraising, and infrastructure
activities for the project. He will be bringing camera equipment
(tripod, lighting, etc.) to the event for capturing interviews and audio
recording. Due to this activity his attendance at the 2018 Hackfest in
Boston is vital to the project. He is a relatively new member of
Inkscape (will be 11 months as of the date of the event), however, and
the types of contributions he makes are not directly measurable as
patches, so the established hackfest reimbursement rules do not cover
the expected expenses for his attendance.
His sponsorship was discussed at the Feb 2018 Inkscape Board meeting and
there was a rough consensus favoring holding a vote for sponsoring him.
Martin Owens has offered to share lodging, so Ryan's expected expenses
should total less than $1000, which is the allocation level we generally
provide for 1-year contributors.
Note, this resolution does not increase the budget for the hackfest nor
does it open up invitations to any other person without board consent.
