A majority vote of the current board members is required for the following matter.
Proposal:
Allocate $750 total from Inkscape's 2015 Budget for three Pre-Approved Jobs.
[ ] a. Yes, allocate money from budget to jobs [ ] b. No, do not allocate from budget
Background:
Inkscape has set up a funded development process[1], and following that process has pre-approved[2] three projects from a list of suggestions. In the recent budget vote[3], we've budgeted $750 to spend in 2015 on funded work. This vote is to formally allocate $250 to each project's funds.
I envision we'll need to do some fundraising on top of this to make the jobs more attractive, but this will give us a starting point.
