The PLC votes to hire the two specified contractors as stated in the proposal.
Jonathan Neuhauser (@joneuhauser at Gitlab and chat.inkscape.org) is submitting a proposal to hire two core developers for the equivalent of a month of work each to fix bugs and regressions during the remaining time until the 1.3 release. This proposal is a slightly changed version of the one voted on in December; with the main change that one contractor was removed to take into account PLC member remarks asking for a smaller scale first attempt.
The complete proposal is appended; it contains all the details on the selection process, persons, objectives as well as a remark on why the Dev team asserts the opinion that at least two contractors should be hired for this project.
