3a - Note that 9 people probably shouldn't cost that much, but I
understand we should have a buffer.
I'm hoping CR will be able to organise a place for a few of us to stay.
If possible to do, it'd be nice to get that funding in place in-
advanced so as not to burden Chris with the cost liability.
Thanks Tav for setting this up.

Hi,
We have an offer of free space for a Paris hackfest for June 27th-
July
1st at the Carrefour Numérique² fablab (at the Cité des sciences et
de
l'industrie). Nine Inkscapers have expressed interest in attending. I
would like to have a vote on proceeding with this hackfest. Here the
proposed vote text:
Your vote is needed on the planned Inkscape Hackfest in Paris,
France.

Resolved:
Background:
Past hackfests have provided excellent opportunities for Inkscape
developers to meet in person, discuss the project and coordinate work
on bug-fixing, feature planning, and other efforts. In the past we've
also sought to align the location and time of the event with
conferences or groups in the area to permit external collaborations
as
well. Our experience so far seems to show that we're getting far more
tangible benefit out of the internal interactions than the external
ones.
Thus, this event will focus more sharply on the hackfest itself,
giving
us much greater flexibility for time and location.
Tavmjong Bah has volunteered as event coordinator for the hackfest
event (with help from Marc).
