Background:

The Inkscape project is transitioning its collection of (over 5000) bug reports from Launchpad to Gitlab. In order to cleanup the collection we are recruiting triagers to assist in re-reproducing each of the bugs and improving the reports. To give recognition to the best participants in this effort, we will be printing and sending stickers to selected individuals based on performance criteria.

Receipts for sticker printing and postage/shipping will be collected and provided to Conservancy as necessary for reimbursement requests.

This does not include mailing costs to ship out the swag, but I’m hoping it’s not more than £100 to do that.

Can I get approval for £200 for stickers+ shipping? I’ll of course try to come under budget for the lot.

Also, we wanted to offer some big prizes for the top bug wrangers. Any ideas on what? And what the budget might be for acquiring/shipping these items? """
