The win32 build, which was broken for the weekend, is working again. I just made a "manual autobuild" again, so that we can see how it looks on Windows: http://troi.titan-aeu.com/~rjamison/inkscape/builds/ Bob

Fwd: Extension request: Auto-generate rectangles based on input values
by Ibrahim Duz 05 Jun '19

05 Jun '19

Dear dev community members, I am not sure whether this is the right way to ask for it. But I would like to make an extension (feature) request for a client of mine who uses your application. He is using Inkscape on a daily basis and doing a lot of repetitive actions in the program for which we thought an extension would be a good solution to reduce the time in his work. This is basically what he wants: He wants to fill 3 values: Width x Height x Depth (maybe in a popup) Based on these 3 values, 7 rectangles need to be created based on some calculation on the values he entered. I have added an example outcome of what he wants to be produced. All other values can be calculated based on the initial 3 values he enters. Is there anyone from the dev team who can help us out and discuss about the further requirements? Hope to hear from you. Keep up the good work!

[deb@...3057...: We want your stickers and your news!]
by Bryce Harrington 29 May '19

29 May '19

Chris, can you touch base with Deb regarding stickers? Michele, can you give Deb a summary of recent news items from Inkscape for the SFC blog? Bryce ----- Forwarded message from Deb Nicholson <deb@...3057...> ----- Date: Wed, 29 May 2019 11:49:16 -0400 From: Deb Nicholson <deb@...3057...> To: project-reps@...3057... Subject: We want your stickers and your news! Hi all, It is about to be "conference season" again. Conservancy will have a booth at OSCON and All Things Open along with some other events over the next six months and maybe you'll also be attending some events? Anyway, we have three quick asks: 1) We'd love to share your project stickers when we table, so please send us some! Just email me and we'll figure out who's closest to you for mailing. 2) If you are low on stickers or materials for your own use, let us know so we can get you squared away well before conference season! We can absolutely re-order stuff like that for you, as long as you've got the artwork on file. 3) We'd love to hear about the events you're attending, talks you're giving or have given and the events you're hosting so we can share them on the monthly "news round-up" posts on our website. Examples here: https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2019/may/28/may2019RU/ https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2019/apr/17/apr2019RU/ As always, feel free to reach out with any questions or just to share any plans or ideas you have for promoting your project. We're here to help. Best, Deb -- Deb Nicholson <deb@...3057...> Software Freedom Conservancy ----- End forwarded message -----

Devels, Do we have any details on what happened to OpenClipart.org? It's an important resource for Inkscape users and it's one we have embedded into our software, but has been down for a very long time. Is there anything we can do to help? Best Regards, Martin Owens

Hackfest dinner in Saarbrücken
by Tobias Ellinghaus 28 May '19

28 May '19

Hello, on Tuesday, 28th of Mai, the hackfest dinner is planned. I was asked to find some places where to go and came up with the following selection: - a typical local place with local food and good beer: http://www.der-stiefel.de/ - Mexican food: https://www.cafe-especial.com/ There are a ton of other places in that area of the city, but I'd suggest the Stiefel. If you want me to book a table for about 15 people I need to know soon. I'd also need to know a time, maybe 19:30 or 20:00? Tobias

Issue #195 proposed patch review request
by Guiu Rocafort Ferrer 27 May '19

27 May '19

Hi everyone, I've been looking at this issue for a while, and i believe i found a way to resolve it. I've posted a patch file in the Issue ticket ( https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/issues/195 ). It's a fairly simple fix, but i was wondering if someone could have a look at it, and maybe give some feedback in case something is not right. Thank you Guiu Rocafort

May we use it in a social media post, Jürgen? (should have asked right away, but only got the idea now) I see you already cut it a bit, so I don't need to ask about that anymore :) Maren Am 25.05.19 um 23:53 schrieb Jürgen Weigert: > Done.

Mailman3 rollout plan
by Bryce Harrington 26 May '19

26 May '19

In 2 weeks I'd like to complete the mailing list transition. That timeframe should put us past the hackfest and the June team meetings, so should be a minimal chance of project disruption. If no one raises an objection, I'll send out notices[1] to each list of the pending move this Monday evening. https://lists.inkscape.org is up and ready for use now - subscribe early if you'd like. On the transition day (Saturday, June 8th), I'll run the archives importer, send out the final move notices, and close the sourceforge mailing lists. If you have questions or run into problems, file a bug report (https://inkscape.org/report) and subscribe me. Thanks, Bryce 1: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/vectors/content/issues/46
