[Fwd: Minutes/notes of first Inkscape UI meeting]
by Martin Owens
Dear developers,
I've posting these notes directly to the mailing list for review.
We had a meeting this afternoon and have founded a new inkscape team
called "Inkscape UI", we will be using the tasks in the notes below to
create the needed tools and documents and will be working up to having a
central place for all inkscape mockups, designs and user experience
tests.
As we work through making sure designers have the right tools, there
will be a process where we figure out how to translate designs into
code. All of us may have to look at designs from time to time, comment
on them and if they are interesting, take them to trunk and forge them.
We'll do a periodic review to see where we are and if designs are
working to improve inkscape at the next hackfest 2017.
Best Regards, Martin Owens

[UI] Meeting tomorrow at LGM
by Xaviju Julián
Hi,
First of all, congratulations for the hackfest event results!
This email is just a reminder of the UI meeting we have tomorrow at LGM.
If I'm not wrong, we have a meeting room booked between parallel sessions,
around 1PM? Could CR confirm it?
See you tomorrow.

I'm not sure what this message means. Did I make some kind of mistake
sending this reply below? Or is just a hiccup in the system?
Apologies if I goofed.

Hackfest 2016: Discussions Summary
by Tavmjong Bah
Hi,
The Hackfest was a great success. We got about 70 patches in to the
code base. Highlights include fixing the GTK3 flickering bug and
getting CMake to work on Windows.
While most of our time was spent on hacking, we did take some time to
discuss various issues. Here is a summary of those discussions.

Hackfest 2016 Discussions Summary
================================
Infrastructure:
--------------
Git/CI:
Consensus is that moving to git soon is a good idea. Benefits:
1. More familiar to outside developers.
2. Bazaar not being actively developed.
3. Easy to separate out libraries as submodules.
Krzysztof has prepared a cheat-sheet
http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Working_with_Git
Libraries that can be turned in to submodules:
http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Embedded_libraries
lib2geom can be made into a submodule first, removing
duplicate code. Krzysztof will provide documentation
on how to make sublibraries.
We recommend moving to GitHub for CI integration.
CI (Continuous integration)
Consensus is to go with GitHub. This is the most
maintainable option with our limited developer resources.
Mailing Lists
Consensus is to move to a server at OSUOL after server with
Mailman3 is available. Mailman3 is a significant improvement over
Mailman2. Martin has volunteered that Inkscape is willing to
install Mailman3 for OSUOL. (OSUOL has said that it is a low
priority project for them and it could be one and a half years
before they get to it.)
Code
----
C++11
Consensus is to require C++11 after 0.92 released. Developers
will be able to use C++11 features.
GTK3
GTK3 offers significant improvements in support for OSX
and Windows.
Consensus is to switch default compilation to GTK3 after 0.92 to
get more eyes looking at the problems. Most, if not all, dialogs
will need to be tweaked. Then remove GTK2 after the 0.93 release
(we have 700 #ifdef's to switch between the two builds).
CMake
The CMake build system is getting very close to being ready. We
can now compile and link Inkscape on Windows using CMake. A lot of
work was done at the hackfest (and at LGM). Having a good CMake
build is the only hard requirement for 0.92.
Roadmap
-------
Krzysztof has volunteered to update the roadmap with the things we
discussed during the hackfest (CMake, C++11, GTK3, etc.).
Community
---------
Fund-raising
We discussed various options such as using patreon.com,
snowdrift.coop, flattr.com. CR will do a detailed investigation
of the options.
Paid Development
We are basically waiting on the website before we can start
using our paid development model.

Website access in China - Fix applied
by Martin Owens
Dear Inkscape Users and Developers,
After a lot of backwards and forwards between osuosl and fastly.net we
have put in place a solution for our website's access in China. The
problem was that our chinese visitors would be able to get the website,
but not any of the media (or downloads) because of their great firewall.
The solution was a CNAME from media.inkscape.org to fastly and some
special dns configuration which I barely understand to solve the issue
with access to fastly caches. (I copied and pasted what people said in
two tickets and acted as a manual ticket express for the professionals)
This solution is now live and I invite people in China to test the
website and please report back if they can see any issues. (and also if
they would like to translate pages) :-)
Best Regards, Martin Owens

About build of inkscape 0.91+devel
by Jseb Tarot
The very recent pull "bzr pull" at the linking step are a error.
(i use cmake for building)
CMakeFiles/inkscape_base.dir/display/cairo-utils.cpp.o: undefined reference
to symbol 'gdk_pixbuf_get_height'
the problem come from link.txt you need add " -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 " from
directory inkscape/src/CMakeFiles/inkscape.dir/
and are the same with inkscape/src/CMakeFiles/inkview.dir/link.txt
after inkscpae compile and inkscape run properly ;)
