SVG WG meeting as outlined below.
[ ] b. Do not approve funding Tav.
Votes:

Josh Andler a.

Ted Gould a.
Resolved:
The Inkscape Project will subsidize travel for Tav to go to the Santa
Clara SVG Working Group meeting, for up to $900 for lodging and
meals.
Tav, please follow the SFC travel policy for reimbursement. It would be
great to see a detailed trip report as well. I'd like to better
understand what is getting achieved at these meetings.
