Resolution:
Background:
In a prior vote, the board allocated $5000 from reserves to be spent on
sponsorship costs for LGM 2015 and the Inkscape hackfest; this would be
above and beyond whatever would be collected from donations. In that
vote Tav suggested a more appropriate amount would be a $10,000 total
allocation, a $5000 increase over the current budget.
The Software Conservancy's ledger system indicates that currently (as of
midnight Feb 19th), the total donations collected and earmarked for the
hackfest is: $1447.00, less $144.7 to SFC and $61.50 for banking fees,
or $1240.80 total.
The Hackfest planning committee estimated a total cost of $9-18k for the
hackfest sponsorships. In detail:
* From Paris: airfare $900 + $200 hotel + $100 food = $1200
* From Boston: airfare $300 + $200 hotel + $100 food = $600
* From Zurich: airfare $900 + $200 hotel + $100 food = $1200
* From Los Angeles: airfare $750 + $200 hotel + $100 food = $1150
[Note the above estimates don't include LGM hotel costs]
The Hackfest committee suggested reimbursement limits as:
* Up to $2000 each for Inkscape developers who have contributed for 3+
years and > 200 commits (About 18 developers qualify, not all
currently active)
* Up to $1500 each for Inkscape developers who have contributed for 2+
years and > 100 commits (About 17 additional qualify)
* Up to $1000 each for Inkscape developers who have contributed for 1+
year and > 50 commits (About 24 additional qualify)
* Up to $500 each for any Inkscape contributor listed in AUTHORS file
with at least 10 commits by Jan 1, 2015 (About 50 additional qualify)
For reference, Bryce's itenary actuals for Hackfest + LGM are:
Hotel: Courtyard Downtown Marriott, 25APR-3MAY = $1275.81 US (incl.
tax&surcharge)
Airfare: 25APR UA1249+UA0843, 3MAY UA5165+UA1758 = $747.75 US
