Background: -----------
In 2017, the Inkscape Board [solicited sponsorship offers][1] for web hosting. We [received an offer][2] from DigitalOcean that provides a credit for $500 in service on their virtual hosting platform. It doesn't match all the requirements we had called for, but it may be able to address near term service needs while we continue our search.
Registration with DigitalOcean requires entry of financial information so will need to be performed by the Software Freedom Conservancy staff for us. This vote authorizes them to do so.
