Hi René,
The vote is canceled, but these are the rules for voting:
* Votes must be created by one of the PLC members. So get in touch with one of us and we can put something together quickly.
* Votes have a minimum amount of time of one week, unless we can get everyone to vote quickly and close it early. I don't believe there's a way to specify less than a week (or more than a year)
I'm looking forward tot he hackfest and all the people who will be coming. Thanks for organising it. 😎️

Background
The Hackfest 2023 in Bensberg was planned for 10 participants. While it looked like we couldn’t fill those 10 slots for most of the time, we suddenly have the opportunity to expand to an 11th participant. The attendees would then be comprised of 9 long standing contributors and 2 promising newcomers. It goes without saying that this addition has been carefully considered in the best interests of the project (this is not a vacation).
This would increase the total event cost (excl. travel) from 9,770 € to 10,607 €. You have previously voted on a budget up to 10,000 € which we would now exceed.
If the numbers above only look vaguely familiar, take a look at the updated calculation on the bottom of this page: https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/Hackfest2023_Bensberg It is now precise and does not contain an ominous „buffer“.
Full disclosure: even in the event that you approve an 11th participant there is the possibility that our hosts cannot make it happen. (But at least we tried.)
Proposal
Increase the Hackfest budget (excl. travel) to 10,607 € to cover for an 11th participant:
- a. Yes
- b. No
Timeline
Proposed: 2023-02-04 Closes: 2023-02-09
Apologies for the inconvenience of not giving you one full week for this vote. If you cannot manage to close the vote until the deadline, the vote will automatically fail and default to "No" as in accordance to standing decisions regarding the Hackfest.
Thank you.
