Hey all,
So I'm sure you all saw Karen reach out to member orgs for help with manning their booth at OSCON. I would be willing to go help them do this, however, I would need some funding assistance from the project to make it happen. As they had said, we would be able to promote our project there and I feel like it might be good to reach out at a higher profile event like this. I would also seek outside donation to our project to help facilitate this but wanted to bring it up to see if other board members feel like this is a worthwhile cause. Thoughts?
Cheers, Josh
I will be at OSCON! and I would be honoured to do some booth time and represent Inkscape there. :)
It would be great to meet you josh!

Hi Josh,
This is OSCON 2016, May 18th-19th, Austin Texas (USA)?
Sounds like fun. You're nearby-ish right? So the costs here would be some travel and hotel?

Correct.

I'm in Reno. I talked to the conference chair from SCALE and our conference's 501(c)3 umbrella org has a booth so I could get some funding if I do some booth duty there as well. So yeah, the costs would be travel and hotel with some of it covered.
Cheers, Josh
Oh OK, so a bit further than I thought.
Board, can we commit $500 to this endeavour? would be interesting and useful for us to have some feedback from OSCON.
Best Regards, Martin Owens

Sounds reasonable to me if the cost isn't too high.

Sounds quite sensible. We budgeted $1000 for "Other Events" for 2016, and this would certainly fit that. Does $1000 sound like a reasonable ballpark to cover expenses for all attendees?
Josh, would you mind drafting a referendum that I can post for a vote on this?

Will do so over the next couple days.
