The board meeting today was very thorough (and ran waaay long). A few key points:

Bug tracking got a lot of discussion. We seem to have a consensus building around the idea that we should start fresh in gitlab, with bugs manually migrated if they can still be reproduced.

Sounds like Spreadshirt is close to being ready to announce officially. CRogers is also working with hellotux.com for some higher quality embroidered shirt options, but that's still in planning stages.

We have two hackfests to plan so far for 2019. In March we'll hold one associated with SCALE in Pasadena, CA, but are still looking for venue spaces. May will see one in Europe associated with LGM. We're in the early phase of planning in both cases; if you're interested in assisting with event planning this would be a great time to get involved. I'll doublecheck how hackfest fundraising has been progressing and report at tomorrow's Vectors meeting.

The Inkscape 1.0 release is getting increasing focus. Mc has drafted a planned schedule that gives us Inkscape 1.0 by the middle of next year.
