Dear Inkscape,
We're having another video chat tomorrow, you can find the date/time in your local timezone, plus the link to the video conference here:
https://inkscape.org/cals/event/30/
* Note: it will be recorded, so share your audio and webcam with that in mind.
This is going to be more casual than usual as I want to invite people to ask questions on the topic and discuss together our ideas.
The topic I'd like to discuss is: What is Inkscape. Broadly an open source project can have many functions and many masters. Our project here has always been a very flat and inviting space for all sorts of contributors. Now that we are hiring a project coordinator, people would like to talk about what a project looks like when it has contributors who are paid by the project, volunteers, as well as people who are paid by outside companies.
So how we can be a broad project to fairly accomodate all types of people. Can we identify when work is volunteer and when it should be a contract? Why have contracted work at all?
These are not things we'll be concluding at the meeting. Just the topical questions to get things started.
Hope to see you there.
Best Regards, Martin Owens Project Leadership Committee
