Draft
Book Campaign
In the past, the Inkscape board has allocated funds to buy books for active developers. We plan on doing another book campaign, but this time opening it up to all members of the Inkscape community. There are two conditions for receiving a book:
- You've been contributing to the Inkscape community for at least six months (and plan to continue!).
- The book will aid your contributions.
If you would like a book, please add your name to the following list:
| Name | Active since | Book |
|---|---|---|
| Tav | 2007 | C++17 (Josuttis) |
| You! | 201x | Making Inkscape Awesome! |
At a later point, we'll need your contact information to send you the book.
