Yes, Linux Libertine is very close to Calluna (especially the "C" glyph).

Additional benefit of this font set is it includes a set of keyboard glyphs which will be very useful for the tutorials.

If we would like to keep the original font appearance, I don't think this needs a community vote.

This is also going in my personal 50 essential open fonts list, so thanks Gez, for the tip! :)

The only /slight/ issue is that the kerning needs a bit of work.

Fortunately, since it's an open font, we can fix it. :)

All in favour of making Linux Libertine the official Inkscape font in place of the proprietary Calluna Regular?

So far:

I support this choice. Linux Libertine has a very good coverage of
accented Latin letters. This may not be a very big deal for the "Draw
Freely" font but becomes very important on the website, which is
multilingual.
