I do not need assistance, but I think it might be kind of useful for Krita if I'd attend. I'm sure there are brains I could pick and things I could learn.
Would that be objectionable? I've already got hotel rooms, but I'm sure I could extend my stay. I wouldn't work on Inkscape, of course, but just try to learn from you all.

The Inkscape Board has approved funding for holding a hackfest in Germany this May, for 2 days preceeding the Libre Graphics Meeting. Many details are still in process of being worked out, but if you're interested in attending please save a spot in your calendar for Monday May 27 to Sunday, June 2.
If you'd like to share your knowledge of the city, or contribute planning in other ways, please join in editing the wiki page:

Add yourself to the Likely Attendees list if you think you'll be able to come, and if you wish to be considered for travel funding.

Resolution:
Inkscape will be reimbursing travel expenses for individuals attending the hackfest and Libre Graphics Meeting in Saarbrücken, Germany in May 2019. This will cover transportation, lodging, and food costs following the reimbursement rules specified by the Software Conservancy.
The exact list of approved attendees is still to be determined, but we expect it will be in the range of 5-15 individuals, as has been typical in past events. A second vote will be held to approve specific travelers, and their names and email addresses will be communicated to Conservancy at that time. A listing of prospective invitees is available at: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Hackfest2019_Saarbr%C3%BCcken_Attend...
The board will sponsor a dinner out for Hackfest attendees and their guests for up to 300 € total. (If the number of confirmed attendees exceeds 10, the board may increase this amount in a future vote.)
The event host will ensure there are snacks and beverages, and procure other incidentals as needed for attendees. They will be reimbursed for up to a total of 100 €.
