Re: [Inkscape-devel] [Inkscape-docs] Inkscape Hackfest: Who will attend?
Hi Maren, Thanks for the info.
Oh, I didn't know about the change in plans for HF (since I'm not subbed to the Board list, of course). I'll hold off on making new posts, until there is some new/confirmed info. And may as well wait on new news item too.
If there now may be a charge for a new venue, maybe donation button would be more needed? Or maybe that will not be very significant? I'm just not very knowledgeable about that kind of things.
Even though donations may not be "needed" at the moment, HF still might represent a good opportunity to pick up donations for a time in the future when donations are more scarce. Or maybe more donations would simply allow more people to attend?
If I recall the old donation page, money went into the Fund, so maybe could be used for other things, as well.
Bryce and/or others - What do you think about a Donations page for Hackfest, this year?
The old hackfest page has been unpublished, and kept for this kind of purpose. But maybe you could just make a copy instead of updating it, so we still have the old one as a kind of archived version?
Ok yes, I'll do that. But again, may as well wait for some confirmed info.
Thanks again :-)

- For the donation page we'd need a new button for paypal, I believe.
You'd have to ask Bryce
- if a new donation page is required/desired for this year's hackfest
(there seems to be no pressure for more funding currently :D)
- and if so, if we need a new donation button
- and if so, if he'd ask Software Freedom Conservancy to procure one for
that and pass it on to you to exchange it on the page.

- For the news item:
Is there already enough info we can give? We don't have a place (anymore), we don't have a date (anymore), no agenda nailed down yet... :/ See board mailing list for more details.

Maybe just writing that there are ongoing plans, and that we still need a venue...? If we ask for donations, that could be linked into the article.
Hhmm....trying for convenience, I might have just caused a problem. I tried to reset my pw on the website, but I'm not receiving the new email, which I seem to recall, there might be a problem with.
- If you reset it via your user profile, then you are not going to get a
confirmation email. You just enter the new password next time you log in instead of the old one. Or does the new password not work? Then I'll gladly set a new one for you.

The two issues are orthogonal. And fortunately, like Maren said, we have money left from last year to help defray this year's costs. But requesting more donations is still a good year; means we'll know we have ample budget for 2017 too.

Right, the old button would work fine as it feeds into one funding pool for all hackfests regardless of year.
However, that button was created with 2015 in its name, so we probably should make a general hackfest button that isn't year-specific. I'll take the action on that and post y'all the new button HTML snippet when I have it. Mean time just use the old button, the money will get where it needs to go.
