[REFERENDUM] Community Development Book Campaign
2020 Developer Education Book Campaign ======================================
Proposal: ---------
https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php?title=Community_Development
1. Purchase and distribute an Inkscape-related educational book for the most active Inkscape contributors. Where we focused on programmers in past campaigns, this will be open to all community contributors.
2. In total, the Inkscape Board intends to spend up to $2000 for purchase of books for community contributors, including shipping and handling costs. Our expectation is that most books will cost $40 plus up to another $10 shipping, but that the range may be more like $25-100 per person generally in total. We anticipate 10-30 people participating in this, with a cost of less than 20*($40+$10) on average.
3. Recipients must have been actively contributing to the Inkscape community in some tangible form for at least six months, with the intention to continue, and the selected book should be one that will aid in their continued contributions to Inkscape. Valid forms of contribution include, but are not limited to: community development, website content, visual design, user experience design, and programming.
4. The campaign proposer (Tavmjong Bah, or their designee) will be empowered to officially announce and introduce the campaign to the larger community, and to encourage applicants. They will define the schedule with deadlines for a) book suggestions, b) start of applications, and c) end of applications. They will also be charged with vetting applicants to verify they meet the criteria listed here.
5. The list of books allowed to be selected will be open for public suggestion up to the deadline date specified in (3). All books must be topical to improvement of Inkscape's software, usage, or community; the campaign proposer is charged with determination of which books meet the criteria. All books must be orderable through at least two major booksellers; the actual selection of which bookseller to use is per the discretion of the Software Freedom Conservancy (SFC).
6. Recipients must provide a valid name, shipping address, and desired book to the campaign proposer (or their designee), who will then provide the compiled and finalized list to SFC for purchasing and shipment of the educational materials after the end of applications deadline.
7. Appeal of any of the above should be made to the Inkscape Board of Directors.
* [ ] a. Yes, conduct this campaign as defined above * [ ] b. No, we should not conduct this campaign * [ ] c. Maybe, but I disagree with some definition of the campaign
Background ----------
The rational is the same as the 2013 and 2014 campaigns. Give a "thank you" present to our contributors and enhance their knowledge for continued contributions.
