Hi Developers and Community Members, we are currently planning to have an Inkscape hackfest in Kiel, in Northern Germany. It was suggested it could take place this year's autumn/fall already, and I was able to reserve a conference room in a startup center close to the city's university for early September, from Sun, 2018-09-09 until Thu, 2018-09-13. This will be during the 'Digitale Woche Kiel', a city-wide event week that aims to introduce people to IT and technology, and just before the 'Kieler Open Source und Linux Tage', a local conference with workshops, talks and an exhibition about Linux and Open Source software. The Inkscape Board has not voted on funding of the event yet. Details about the proposed Hackfest can be found at: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Hackfest2018_Kiel If you are interested in attending the Hackfest in Kiel in September, please add your name to the list at: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Hackfest2018_Kiel_Attendees Please also add any topic that you would be interested to discuss during the Hackfest, or that you would like to suggest for discussion, here: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Hackfest2018_Kiel_Topics Kind Regards, Maren

Inkscape 1.0 roadmap goal - test writing
by Bryce Harrington 01 Jun '18

01 Jun '18

Hi all, A priority for the 1.0 release is working on improving our testsuite. At the last hackfest, it was asked that the individual tasks be broken down and divvied out to people so we can distribute the work. Below, I've broken out the work as best I can and have proposed owners for each task. If you can't do a task, or would like to take on additional ones let me know. 1. Migrate the old test cases to GTest Refer to Tav's b50500c7 as an example of how to convert. Alexander Valavanis, would you be able to convert these two? + extract-uri-test.h + uri-test.h Tavmjong Bah, mind doing these? + mod360-test.h + preferences-test.h Adrian Boguszewski, would you be available to do these two? + object-test.h + sp-gradient-test.h Eduard Braun, could you try these two? + marker-test.h + sp-style-elem-test.h 2. Establish a regression SVG file collection I forget when exactly we discussed this, but the idea was to have a place to easily collect random SVG files from bug reports or community members that exhibit odd behaviors or provide stressful workloads for performance testing. The best way to structure this, I'm not sure. Probably keep them separate from the main codebase, maybe with laxer commit permissions? Marc Jeanmougin, you've been doing a lot of good work lately on setting up testing, including some render check testing in the main codebase. Would you be willing to take ownership of this task? 3. Implement new unit tests. We need additional GTests to cover a number of areas of the codebase. These need added in testfiles/src/, see the other tests there for examples. Who'd like to volunteer to work on these? * SP objects * verbs * cmdline options * UI widgets/tools * UI view * UI dialogs * live effects * etc. Bryce
