Hackfest budget etc.
Hi,
So far we have allocate $9000 for travel expense for the hackfest, $3000 for travel to LGM, $1300 for the venue (includes lunches, snacks). $600 for Hackfest dinner. The actual amount for travel should be considerably less (for example, it include $2000 for Alex who is local).
See: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Hackfest2016_Attendees
I believe we allocated $7500 for the hackfest + $5000 for LGM + $600 for the dinner. At the end of 2015 we had $11,600 in the hackfest "account". Bryce, can you confirm these numbers?
It has been suggested to me that we selectively invite recently new active participants in the Inkscape community who would not otherwise qualify for travel assistance. I like this idea as it would help to encourage new participants to keep contributing. I would propose asking the Inkscape community to nominate people for a $500 special invitation.

I like this idea. Marc J. would be an obvious candidate.
Best regards, Krzysztof
Any other opinions?
I would like to invite Olaf Bjarnanson who helped Mark J recently with keyboard stuff (Mark is already coming).

Sounds like a good idea to me. Do we need to vote on that or is there already room in the allotted budget?
There should be room in the budget. I'll leave it to Bryce to decide if we need a formal vote. I'll go ahead and extend an invitation. Tav

Assuming the person fulfils the criteria from the original vote, and there is room in the budget, there's no need for an additional vote.

Yes, $13,100 total has been budgeted, and there is still $11,600 in the hackfest account (we've received no further donations to the hackfest fund since June last year).
