Just a quick update before our meeting in less than an hour:
I've emailed a handful of selected developers who have been active in the past year or so and who I think are good candidates for a hacking session at Red Hat (intimate knowledge of our code base and/or worked on GTK issues). I have had a pretty poor response. Only Krzysztof responded, he's interested but may have a conflict with exams.
So here is a current list:
su_v: Probably won't attend. (Hasn't actually said she wouldn't.) LiamW: Currently working on Mac OSX port. Cannot attend. Johan: Willing to help remotely with Mac OSX builds. Jazzy Nico: Has done GTK work. Not responded to email. Alex Valenis: Worked on GTK3 port. Not responded to email. Krzysztof: Good knowledge of internal Inskcape code and event handling. Possibly can attend. Jon Cruz: Good knowledge of internal code, Mac OSX development. Not responded to email. Bulia: Good knowledge of internal code, working on Inkscape again. Not responded to email. Martin: Local coordinator. Can come.
I can probably attend. Can any other board members not listed above attend?
As it stand now we have Martin, Krzysztof, and myself. I do think this is an excellent chance to get some help with GTK issues and to get some UX feedback. I would hate to lose it. We could move it to a later date if that would help with attendance (we may not get as much Red Hat support if it doesn't coincide with their Fedora design group meetup).
As for GTK issues, LiamW had filled in a wiki page for GTK issues. su_v will add things as she finds them:
