In looking through the release notes, I'm not sure $2,500 is merited for a video of this minor release (I'm stating that as opposed to a major release, not saying it's not significant... just that I don't know how much there is to demo in a "sales pitch" way). I am not against funding for it, but it's not a trivial amount of money for the apparent lack of changes in many regards (again, going based on release notes there are non-trivial changes in some areas and just a lot of stuff that you can't demonstrate quickly for the places that received substantive changes w/o the video focusing too much on any one area and then not being good at promotion as opposed to explanation). I'd probably suggest $1,000-$1,500 instead for this. I'm interested to see if funding seems to make a difference. That said, I'd be more comfortable starting a little smaller given the lack of uniform votes for a farewell gift for Bryce and his 20+ years of involvement in Inkscape and it's related projects. I'm not opposed to the full amount, my preference is a smaller start with a less "amazing" release than the past two.
