I think that's very doable at this stage. It's early enough we can change the date and advertise it to our contacts. I'm going to be contacting the South End Tech Center and DangerAwesome, let me know if there's anyone else I should be reaching out to.
I gave the opensourcedesign Boston group a heads up, and I can send a notice out to both the Boston and Westford offices since we have an Inkscape user population across the two. I am wondering if there are any local meetup groups that might be interested? I know there's a few Blender ones, I seem to recall either an Inkscape or open source creatives one in the Boston area (gave a talk at one a long time ago.)
We have an affiliation with Boston University in the Red Hat Boston office, I can ask around and see if there's any student groups or professors who might use Inkscape.
There is a large and very active AIGA group in Boston, I don't know if it'd be worth sending out a notice to them?
That's where I was thinking on outreach, what do you think?
That's a good idea! I've just sent AIGA Boston a message to ask them if they have anyone interested in such a thing. BU would be good for programmers too, if there are any. Getting more devs into Inkscape is really important to the project too.
(My dream is to have Red Hat sponsor an Inkscape dev for a few years full time ;-) so we can make some really good movement)
