Hi Friends,
Just in case it's not already known, the website is down. First noticed
about an hour ago.
All best,

credentials repo moved to new location
by Bryce Harrington
Just a quick note that the credentials repository has been moved, as
discussed last board meeting.
When we switched from bzr to git, the credentials repository was moved
over as a branch of the inkscape codebase. Apart from being awkward it
also made it very slow to download (since it was downloading the
entirety of the inkscape code history, only to replace all the code with
the credentials stuff...)
Anyway, I exported the git history and imported it as a new project,
which will live here in its new permanent location:
https://gitlab.com/inkscape/infra/credentials
I've also made this private to logged in Inkscape project team members
only. No one outside our project should really need this so I think
that is appropriate. Let me know if you run into problems, and I can
adjust permissions and things to improve convenience.
(You'll also notice I'm putting project internal service-ish stuff like
this into a subcategory 'infra'. As we go through updating mailing
lists, wiki, forums and other such things we can use this to collect
random bits and pieces like service configs here.)

Request for Inkscape wiki account
by Máirín Duffy
Hi! :)
I would like to request an account on the Inkscape wiki. Red Hat is
hosting a hackfest in our offices and I'd like to be able to update the
attendee list on the wiki with local Red Hatters who would like to attend.
Cheers,

by C R
So who wants some?
Email me quantity and mailing address to get your mits on some for
your Inkscape promoting needs.
Doc has the first 200, which leaves 800 up for grabs.

Sticker drama
by C R
Okay, so I made the mistake of paying a sticker printing company
before I got a proof.
I did this because usually printers are trustworthy enough to A) give
a good proof, B) Accept changes needed, or C) refund if they can't (or
in this case, just won't) do what you want). I'm sorry to say that
discountsticekrprinting.co.uk can't handle any of these things.
So I've learned a valuable lesson - never pay before proof.
Since I can't seem to get my money back from them due to their
customer-hostile purchase agreement, I'm going to have to get
substantially larger stickers from them to compensate for their
incompetence. - Something that will not look silly with a 3mm gap
shoe-horned into the space around the graphic on the sticker.
My questions are these:
1. How big would you like to see?
2. How big is useful or tolerable? :)
3. How big is "way too big"
The choices are: 60mm, 80mm, 100mm
Part of me wants to go like HUGE (100mm), because maybe we could sell
them for a few bucks each to recoup sticker costs - maybe people would
like to slap one on a CPU case or a skateboard or bumper of a car or
something.
I'm going with some other company for the 40mm silver stickers, since
they look absolutely silly with an enforced 3mm gap around the edge -
None of the other companies I've gotten quotes from are willing to
inflict that nonsense on their customers.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

Inkscape LiveAnimate plugin or Fork
by openInvent
I want to know how simple it would be to disable the GUI and mouse cursor on hot key press to draw directly to screen for Desktop cam live animations. Also want to set move group functionality to wasd , arrow keys or numpad to control 3 things at once. Or use mouse to move and possible mouse wheel to zoom or snap to splines pathings and mouse wheel tweening.
Any ideas on how much work this feature would be? I can fork over 50USD if someone FORKS the Inkscape. For LiveAnimate.
