In an effort to give back to our developers, I hereby present to you the Developer Education Book Campaign 2013 !

We'd like to give an educational present to our most active contributors. The board has decided to buy a programming book for each of the top 10 contributors of 2013!

These 2013 rockstars can choose from one of the following books: a) Effective C++, 3rd Ed. by Scott Meyers b) Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code by Martin Fowler c) A Tour of C++ (C++11) by Bjarne Stroustrup

Thank you very much for your great work in 2013!!!

All books have been ordered as last week. Recipients in the US should be receiving their books now. Canadians should receive books over the coming week. European residents should be receving the books within a month. If you provided me with an address and do not receive a book within these time frames, please let me know.

Let me add to Johan's thanks a thank-you out to everyone who has donated to Inkscape. Your funding has made this educational effort possible. If in the coming months and years you find Inkscape to be more robust, responsive, and performant, the credit could indeed originate from your contribution to the project.
