[LGM] finances

[Dave Crossland]

Hi

I think Google Fonts may be interested in this sponsorship, with a focus on
bringing people together to do focused work on Variable Font support in all
libre graphics applications.

Felipe Sanches was working on Inkscape support and got stuck, so if he can
attend and meet Inkscape core devs to make progress towards being ready to
ship, that would be great.

What were the total budgets for lgms in the past?
