Thanks Tav,
The board's primary role has been to handle Inkscape's assets. How can Inkscape's assets be used to grow the Inkscape community?
Inkscape's most powerful asset is it's authority over it's brand. If a space where the community gathers is blessed as official and linked well like I stated in my previous question, then it has more power to improve Inkscape's whole community. A good candidate is the inkscape forum.
Are there specific projects that you think the board should pursue? How would you contribute to them?
A good example of what I mean would be Kickstarter or Patreon; Inkscape should involve itself more directly with creating and managing funding campaigns. These would both grow community and create a new kind of space where users can contribute (one not yet fully utilized). These kinds of spaces must be managed by the inkscape board more directly as only inkscape itself can lend the authenticity to users seeking to contribute in this way.
Best Regards, Martin Owens
