Hi Bryce and all,
As I brought up in IRC, I'd like to see Jabiertxof bumped up to the $1500 sponsorship mark for the hackfest. He has been working on Inkscape since at least October of '12 (he asked for testing of a branch at that point on the devel list), even though he wasn't a committer at that time... anyway, I definitely think it counts as being a contributor back then (plus he is also over 100 commits).
Given the pretty good success of the fundraising for the hackfest, I don't think this will ding our coffers (since I don't think we're going to have to use much of what we already allocated). This is just more of a formality so the board is aware of him meeting the requirements for the next level of funding.
Cheers, Josh

Thanks, yes that qualifies him for the $1500 level as per the Hackfest2015 page. Thanks for posting here, I've updated my records locally.
