Thank you, Lucas! I've added you as a developer there. I'll also add your name into our list of persons who have access to parts of the Inkscape infrastructure, so people will be able to find out whom to contact.

Inkscape 1.0-beta2 release
by Marc Jeanmougin 04 Dec '19

04 Dec '19

Hi everyone! We are quickly approaching the long-awaited 1.0 release of Inkscape, and to allow easier testing of the progress we've made with it, we just released a 1.0-beta2 version! You can get the release at https://inkscape.org/release/inkscape-1.0beta2/ in the form of source tarball to compile, AppImage for Linux, and .dmg for macOS (windows soon). The most visible changes should be : - MacOS Catalina users should be able to manipulate files - More responsive interface (faster rendering) - Improved text rendering All testers are encouraged to test this version and report bugs at inkscape.org/report The release date for 1.0 is not set in stone yet, but if we don't get major bug reports I expect a release around the end of December. == Translators == Thanks for your work! Strings have been frozen for a while, and it's not too late to submit translations until release date. == Developers == We have now branched the code repo. The new branch 1.0.x now only welcomes bugfixes, translations and easy-to-review changes; while features, performance, code improvements, or anything that was left waiting in prevision of 1.1 are free to go to the master branch. == All contributors == All Inkscape contributors (be it with development, translation, Vectors (outreach), documentation, UX research, etc) are encouraged to vote in the About Screen contest before Dec 15th! Thanks all! -- Marc

Fwd: Participation to GameDev room at FOSDEM
by Julian Murgia 03 Dec '19

03 Dec '19

Hello, I am a member of Godot Engine's organization team for FOSDEM. We have been granted with a "Game Developers" room at FOSDEM, taking place in Brussels, Belgium, on February 1st and 2nd 2020. Even though we proposed this developers room, it will be about "*Free and Open Source Game Development"* at large and not focused on Godot Engine. Thus, we are calling for participations aimed at Free Softwares projects, involved closely or less closely in game development. These participations would consist in technical-oriented presentations during the GameDev room: game developers, game engine developers, tools developers are very welcome. Inkscape has grown into a big actor in drawing softwares recently, thanks to the boost of SVG usage in multiple target applications. In the case of game development, we also observe an increasing interest from creators with such format and Inkscape is definitely the biggest actor in this regard. We'd be very interested to discuss your plans and your needs regarding Inkscapeevolution towards game development tooling. You'll find some details on our past news post: https://godotengine.org/article/cfp-game-development-room-fosdem-2020. If you wish, you can of course respond to this mail for more precisions before applying on FOSDEM's Pentabarf. Waiting for your reply, Best regards, ---- Julian Murgia Godot Engine PLC
