Hackfest location confirmed?
by C R
Hey everyone. Working on the sticker for the Boston hackfest.
Did we ever get confirmation on the location? The page still says,
RedHat Boston Office, but did we ever confirm? I'd like to include the
location on the swag stickers.
Thanks!

Wiki Access
by Ryan Gorley
I thought for sure I had asked and already received rights to edit our
wiki, but apparently not. Will someone grant me access to edit
wiki.inkscape.org?

Turning off gitlab's "Allow users to request access"?
by Bryce Harrington
There's a setting "Allow users to request access" on our Inkscape main
group (https://gitlab.com/inkscape). I'd like to switch it to 'off'.
Are there any objections if I did this?
This setting adds a button to our website for logged in users to push to
send an email to our admins asking for membership to the inkscape main
group. The effect of this gives them commit access on the inkscape repo
(and I suspect maybe other git repos in subgroups; I'm not sure how the
permissions propagate.)
This was useful initially when everyone was needing gitlab access, but I
think all the existing committers that want it have it. These days the
requests we're getting are mostly from people with no registered
activity related to Inkscape; we've been getting a handful of these
invalid requests each month. Maybe they're clicking it on accident, or
thinking that it's an affiliation mark, and not realizing that it gives
full commit rights if granted.
Turning it off simply removes the button, it wouldn't mean any change to
our existing policies regarding earning of commit rights - applicants
still need to get two patches reviewed, accepted, and landed and then
contact one of the administrators to request access. (If we want to
make this simpler later on, maybe one day we can rig up a form where
they can enter the SHAs of their two patches.)

Hackfest swag
by C R
Thinking of doing another set of medallions for the Boston and LGM hackfests.
My questions:
1. Do people like the metal / engraved ones, or would stickers be better?
2. Do people like them personalised like last year, or would you
rather just have generic ones that all attendees get?
3. Do we want another order of (slightly larger) generic inkscape
stickers to hand out at these events (especially LGM seems like a
great place to hand them out).
4. Anything else?

Gitlab access
by Gord Caswell
Hi Folks,
It's fitting to receive an email a moment ago stating my request for access
was denied, considering the discussion of turning off the access button.
However, I'd like to request access via the mailing list now, and I'll
gladly include commit SHAs.
Here's my commits:

Thanks.

how to update an Inkscape repository
by alvinpenner
about 6 months ago I created a fork of the inkscape code at:
https://gitlab.com/alvinpenner/inkscape
1. now that is obsolete, and I would like to sync it with current Inkscape
to bring it uptodate. Is there a button for this?
2. alternatively, I would like to delete the repository and start over. Can
I delete it?
3. also, the original Fork button that I used appears to be gone, is it
still possible to fork code?
sorry about the numerous questions, but I just spent 2 hours searching for
these things and cannot find them, the gitlab website seems to have been
redesigned since I last used it.

Inkscape is SVG
by Martin Owens
Hello Inkscape-makers,
I found this ammusing, while searching for "CM350 brother inkscape" in
google, google sometimes searches for synonymous terms.
In this search is adds 'SVG' as a synonym for Inkscape. So google
things Inkscape IS the same thing as SVG.
That's a super cool position to be in, in an odd kind of way. Because
it says that googles black box thinks that the pinnacle of SVG, the
exemplar, the practical reference for the standard IS Inkscape.
OK, back to work. :-) hope everyone had a good new year.
Best Regards, Martin Owens
