b. disapprove
While I'm a supporter of t-shirts for contributors generally, we can't and shouldn't approve expenses after the purchase is already made. Of course you know this, as this isn't the first time you've done it. Continually violating a well established policy seems purposeful at this point. Not sure what the purpose is.

Dear Inkscape Project Leadership,
# Background I have ordered 24 t-shirts featuring the design for 1.4 on white cotton. The design is meeting with approval from people who have been asked and I would like funding to be able to send these to members and cover their production costs.
See photo of me wearing t-shirt here: https://chat.inkscape.org/channel/team_vectors?msg=hLavFfkSrbdd95HF5
Sizes available: Unisex Medium=3, Large=7, XL=6, 2XL=4 Women Medium=1, Large=2, XL=1
I'll be making them available to contributors who are members of the project and who have been active during the 1.4 release (so over 2023 and 2024) in any area, not just code on a first come first served basis.
Logistically, I have them here now and I will be sending them out one at a time to people's addresses directly from here in the USA. If it's cheaper, I may request a European plc member to take a batch of them but I'll document that if it happens.
Each shirt will cost $12 plus I'm estimating $20 per delivery cost (though I expect that to be widely variable). The project only needs to buy the ones I send out to contributors.
# Vote Budget $900 to cover the maximum possible costs of sending out these shirts, the amount to be less than this once they've all been sent out and delivery costs are known.
a. Approve of t-shirt budget b. Disapprove c. Something else
I abstain from the voteas the t-shirt vendor 😅️. 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
