The Graphical Web Conference
Hi,
The Graphical Web Conference (formerly SVG Open) is taking place Sept 23-26 in Pittsburgh.
https://www.graphicalweb.org/2015/
I submitted a talk on SVG 2 (in which I highlight Inkscape) which was accepted. For the past few years the conference has fully paid my travel costs (I've asked Inkscape for backup funding each time but I never had to use it). This year it is clear that the conference will be unable to fund my travel as they are running a rather large deficit. It is probably not worth the $1500 it would take for Inkscape to send me to the conference but it might be worth sending someone who is closer, especially if that person could fill in for me. I was thinking maybe along the line of $500 of support. (We can probably get the conference fee waived.)
What do you all think about this?

Sounds like the kind of thing Inkscape people should be attending in some form or another.

It's interesting to me. Who's the closest and most available to PA/USA?
I'm 1.4 hours away @ $164 by air. What about others?
Martin,
BUMP
Anybody else have feelings about this, negative or positive?

Martin,
Well, given that you said it's probably not worth the amount to send you, I would probably be okay with something along the lines of the $500 funding for someone "local" provided that they could fill in for you on the speaking part.
Cheers, Josh

I agree, and it sounds like Martin would perhaps be interested. So, I'm okay with that. I could probably do it as well, but Martin is much closer.
When we talked with the W3C before there was some question about people who were working for companies that could be potential W3C members (Canonical specifically) representing Inkscape, and whether that would work within the W3C policies. We never got to a final conclusion on that. So I think Martin being independent solves some problems there as well.

I've just got official word. The registration fee will definitely be waved and they might be able to cover a hotel room as they've already paid for one more room than they will probably need.

Martin are you still interested? We'll need to get this decided quick. I'll put together something for the board to vote on this weekend.

This is not a W3C conference so it doesn't matter who you work for.

I'm preparing the ground; There's a few things I need to make sure before I'll know for sure if I can go.
How many days of the 4 would I be needed for? Is there any specific time/date for the presentation?

Talk is scheduled for the first day. The talks are the first two and a half days. After that there are workshops. See:

Martin,
I've added a proposed resolution for the board to consider in the board documents repository.

Martin,
The offer from the conference to provide a hotel room will expire Friday as they now have other people that could use the room.
There were three yes votes (with no no votes) so far by board members to provide $500 of support for the trip.
Please let me know if you can attend ASAP.

Hi Tav,
I'm confirming now. I'll get some flights put together today.
Can you let me know if I'm confirmed that end for the stay?
