Winner: About screen contest
by Martin Owens
Thanks for everyone's vote, the results are as follows:
1. https://inkscape.org/en/~artelnjeru01/%E2%98%85about-092-2-good (#4)
2. https://inkscape.org/en/~Mikhael/%E2%98%85space-inkscape (#1)
3. https://inkscape.org/en/~artelnjeru01/%E2%98%85about-092-11 (#2)
4. https://inkscape.org/en/~bajinra/%E2%98%85draw-freely-in-sticker-sty
le (#3)
Congratulations to artelnjeru01! Please pass around the good news to
all. The entrants this year were really VERY good, even those that
didn't make this round of voting.
I'm going to leave the committing of the winning entry to the
repository to someone else. If you'd like to do this job, please
download the svg directly from the above link.
We can select a developer's about screen for trunk too, any of the
entrants can be considered and I don't think we need a vote on that. Or
we can keep the machine robot we have now, both are good.
Best Regards, Martin Owens

Including BSD-Licenced code in Inkscape
by Alexander Brock
Hi,
TLDR: I want to include 3-clause BSD licenced code in Inkscape.
I want to improve curve fitting in Inkscape. I was told that Inkscape
uses the GSL for root finding etc. so I thought I might implement curve
fitting using the headers <gsl/gsl_multifit_nlinear.h>
This works but I'd like to improve it by providing derivatives to the
solver instead of relying on numerical differentiation.
I researched Autodiff tools and found that most require libraries which
are difficult to build on windows.
At work I use Ceres solver. I extracted the autodiff code (jet.h) from
the source code and modified slightly so it works without futher
dependencies.
Ceres is licenced under the 3-clause BSD licence:
http://ceres-solver.org/license.html
May I include the modified source code in Inkscape?
Best Regards,
Alexander

Contest Results and Developer Voting
by Martin Owens
Dear developers,
The about screen contest for 0.92 is complete and we have our three
runner ups for us developers to choose from:
https://inkscape.org/en/gallery/=about-screen-contest/contest-for-092+0
/
Each of the three are marked as "Next Round", please email to the
mailing list with your choices. Simply put your numbers in order of
preference, so 3214 would mean 3 is my first choice, 2 is my second
choice etc. You don't have to rank all numbers if you don't want to.
You'll notice that I've chosen 4 items, this is because 1 and 3 are so
similar and I wanted to give us a better choice.
Thanks to all our artists and voters, I think this round has been
really good.
I actually voted for "Ngarai Sianok" and a lot of people loved "Freedom
Machine" (see comments on those items). So I'll be adding a few of
these to the website front page when 0.92 is released, to replace the
current set of images.

Inkscape Shop
by Martin Owens
Dear Developers,
We've been playing with the settings for the inkscape shop, the
conservancy backed spreadshirt account. I'm looking for comments from
others about the look of it and what kinds of things we've added to
start.
https://shop.spreadshirt.com/inkscape-shop/
There's a few restrictions with what we can do, for instance vector art
doesn't support gradients / blur etc. But we'll keep playing with the
settings to get a good result and then maybe order a few things to
test.
What do you think?
Best regards, Martin Owens

Inkscape Shop Results
by Martin Owens
Dear all,
I just got delivery of my inkscape items, one cup and one hat.
The cup can be seen here: https://inkscape.org/en/~doctormo/%E2%98%85in
kscape-cup-natural-setting
It's a good cup, for a simple logo it doesn't justify the $15, but for
a more complex artwork it might.
The hat looks about as silly as you could imagine, my wife has denied
me the right to post that picture. But at $28 it's the least likely
product for us to have on the shop.
Bryce has gotten a couple of t-shirts and I hope he posts a photo too
with a review. There's someone else who ordered some items from Texas,
we don't know who, but if that's you, we'd love for you to post a
review when your items arrive.
Best Regards, Martin Owens

Mesh gradient test and comment
by Nicolás Guarín-Zapata
Hello,
I have tested the Mesh gradient tool and it works. Although the nodes
and node handles should be differentiable as mentioned before
(https://sourceforge.net/p/inkscape/mailman/message/35501606).
I would also mention that it would be great if the "central" nodes can
be group to a single node in the case of conic gradient. Of course,
this won't be necessary when one is working with a ring and not a
circle, but in some cases it might be useful (see HSV_mesh.png, where
this proves useful).
I attached a couple of images that I generated using the mesh gradient tool
Best,

Re: [Inkscape-devel] New Extension and video showcase
by C R
Looks awesome Jabier! I can see this being useful for cell-shading comics,
and it masks the issue Inkscape has where a small gap is rendered between
adjacent fill edges.
Thanks for the demo!

Hi all.
I just do a tiny extension on inkscape.org extension page.
The extension is called:stroke-color-as-fill and do this.
But it bring posibilities to cool efects, so i do a large showcase
video. At the start I add a show case to add Delaunay triangulation in
2 steps to any inkscape art. Also you can use after my extension to fix
the rouding precission triangles.
I try now to fix the problem with custom markers to alow using it in a
saved document (middle of the video problem)
Take acount you can use a base biger than ~40px to allow more
resolution (more pieces,triangles...) -bus slowest- to the output

Survey
by Victor Westmann
Hi Guys,
I was just wondering if we could run a simple and quick survey to our users
to get to know them better and to know what they know about the software
and how much are they involved with the project (software and community),
This is just a draft so improvements and thoughts are more than welcome:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CcV6rEYq5iIzZKkx_qPU6G5rp0O5D
UM0EfQ3hD_Gt4o/edit?usp=sharing
What do you guys think?
This initiative took place inspired in the "State of JS" survey:

Cheers!
