  1. Travel Sponsorship to Pasadena, California.
  1. Board-sponsored Dinner. The Inkscape Board will fund a dinner out for Hackfest attendees and their guests, to be paid for by an attending board member. An estimated 8 people averaging $30 each gives a budget of $240.
  1. Refreshments. The hackfest organizer will ensure there are snacks and beverages, and procure other incidentals as needed for attendees. An estimate of 8 attendees * 5 days * $5 suggests a budget of $200.

Background:

The Conservancy has asked to know the names and email addresses of approved attendees. Many people do not yet know for certain if they can attend or if so for how long, but the list shows people who have expressed that they might be able to attend. This vote will authorize travel reimbursement for the if they do choose to come. Some of these people are local, or will have travel paid for by other entities, or will only need to travel within the US, so we expect that most attendees will require less than the $2000 cap. The list of people should be considered preliminary.
