Dear Inkscaper, We plan on holding two Inkscape hackfests in the next half year. The first will be in Pasadena (Los Angeles), California from March 4th through March 6th.[1] This hackfest takes place just before the 2019 Southern California Linux Expo (SCALE). The second hackfest will at the Libre Graphics Meeting (LGM) in Saarbrücken, Germany (near the French/German border) from May 29th through June 2nd. We encourage all Inkscaper's (developers, designers, translators, etc.) to attend these hackfests. Financial support will be available to active participants in the Inkscape community. To be eligible for support you need to add your name to the appropriate "Attendees" page. [3][4] Don't hesitate to add your name even if your attendance is not certain yet.

Hi I keep getting daily emails about failed builds from "Launchpad Buildd System" [1, 2]. As Inkscape is now built on Gitlab infrastructure afaik is this something to look into or should launchpad builds be disabled somehow?
