A majority vote of the current board members is required for this matter. Proposal: Sponsor costs for GSoC participants to attend the GSoC Reunion according to the following schedule: * Up to $1500 each for GSoC admins who have served 2+ years * Up to $1000 each for GSoC mentors who have mentored for 2+ years * Up to $500 each for students who successfully completed their mentorship, and who continued contributing outside GSoC. Josh Andler will act as event coordinator to provide a point of contact for attendees and to collect expense info for reimbursement. [ ] a. Yes, approve this funding proposal for whomever gets accepted [ ] b. I might vote yes for a more limited proposal [ ] c. No, do not provide GSoC sponsorship Background: Inkscape has participated in the Google Summer of Code Program for many years now. We've got a lot of good code, several good developers, and a good bit of cash from this participation. Each year Google also has a yearly get together after the summer is done. We've had on average 3 people interested in attending each year. This year is the 10th anniversary and Google is holding a special Mentor's Summit (Reunion). Google will sponsor the usual 2 delegates we get to send, funding up to $1100 each in travel expenses and room costs. In addition, Google will hold a lottery for others to attend, but at their own expense. Eligible participants for the lottery include admins, mentors, and students. We don't know how many lottery slots will be made available to us, but they estimate 220 total lottery winners covering a total of 190 mentoring organizations. So on average I guess we can expect something on the order of 1-3 people.
