Inkscape Business Card
by C R 15 Apr '19

15 Apr '19

Attached is a sample of the new Inkscape business card for review. The idea was to make a foldable card so people could write notes on the inside of it. I thought that a notepad theme would work, and I included my favourite Inkscape hotkeys on the back for added value. Yes, the hotkey text will be small, but it is a business card, so. :) -C

Extensions 1.0 - 2019-03-24 to 2019-04-01 I've completed a very exausting slog through all of our extensions for the Inkscape 1.0 release. Below is a detailed report on where we currently stand with our extensions repository. There are some decisions to make wrt how we support dependancies, how we test extensions that call out to outside programs and how we fix the remaining issues. If you'd like to help out, then pick one of the extensions in the failed, missing or otherwise has a problem from the below lists and download the inkscape-extensions repository from GitLab. Use pytest tests/test_[name_of_extension].py to test the specific extension you're interested in. For svg comparisons, look for the XXX parts in the output, it'll show you were it's different xml-wise. == Overview == * 23 Extensions without comparison tests * 119 Added Comparison Tests - 0 Causing an Error (all fixed) - 95 Working extensions with perfect matches - 24 Failed to match (output is different) * 7 Missing, Removed or untestable extensions - 1 Delayed fix because of Merge Request - 1 None Inkex based python extension - 4 Removed extensions - 1 Windows extension === Failed Extensions === Large number of differences or just borked: - perspective, pixelsnap Large number of differences or format is not svg: - dpiswitcher, extrude, dxf_outlines, hpgl_output Medium number of differences related to path transformatons: - foldablebox, polyhedron_3d, summersnight Medium number of differences, various attributes missing from output: - grid_polar, grid_cartesian, lindenmayer, whirl Tiny or single difference related to finding layer center: - render_barcode, render_barcode_datamatrix, render_barcode_qrcode, render_gear_rack, render_gears, spirograph, split, triangle, wireframe_sphere, grid_isometric, hershey === Removed: External dependancy, shell script (not python) === - eqtexsvg, plt_output, sk1_output, wmf_output, === Other === gcodetools - Held up because of merge request, cleanup is very large. dm2svg - None inkex python extension, could be converted print_win32_vector - Windows only (untestable) but also an infurating copy of dxf_outlines.py AND untestable because it requires access to printers to print things. === Extensions without comparison tests === color_randomize, dxf12_outlines, fractalize, frame, generate_voronoi, gimp_xcf, inkwebeffect, interp_attr_g, jitternodes, layout_nup, loren_ipsum, markers_strokepaint, measure, pathmodifier, pathscatter, prepare_file_save_as, print_win32_vector, render_alphabetsoup, rtree, rubberstretch, synfig_output, synfig_prepare, text_randomcase == Work Done == - Unit Tests: 149 files changed, 1311 insertions(+), 1462 deletions(-) - Test Framework: 3 files changed, 308 insertions(+), 23 deletions(-) - Extensions: 57 files changed, 862 insertions(+), 1185 deletions(-) - Inkex API: 9 files changed, 216 insertions(+), 40 deletions(-)

New "Inkscape Extras" group
by Bryce Harrington 08 Apr '19

08 Apr '19

Hi all, In our gitlab setup, I've added a new team "Inkscape Extras". The principle motivation for setting this up right now is to facilitate work on the extensions, to establish a collaborative space for community contributors to share their work, but with a clear delineation from the core extensions that we as a project formally support and distribute. Inkscape Extras can include other side-projects, experiments, and other misc. codebases that are worth sharing with each other, but that we won't be formally supporting, packaging, or distributing. Access to Inkscape Extras can be given out broadly (i.e. we don't need to require the 2-patch rule for access like we require for the "Inkscape Devels" group). Let me know if you have questions, or need help getting projects set up under this group. Bryce

GSoC Proposal For Project Refactoring
by Syed Shaharyaar Hussain 08 Apr '19

08 Apr '19

Hi I have attached my proposal. I know it is not very elaborate because it is my first time that I am working for open source project and of course there are lot of libraries I need to know about. Even if I don't get selected, still I will put my efforts to improve Inkscape as much as I can. Also I have made this proposal during peak duration of my exams preparation, if I had made any mistake in proposal I am sorry for that. Regards Shaharyaar

Incluir função
by Simeão Marchiori 05 Apr '19

05 Apr '19

Olá amigos, sinto muito orgulho de ser usuario do inkscape, gostaria de poder ajudar dando uma dica. Percebi na novas versões do Inkscape a função de atração automática, uma boa ferramenta boa para gráficos, mas como eu faço desenhos artisticos, essa ferramenta, acaba dificultando o rendimento, por isso seria muito bom incluir um modo de desativar essa função. um grande abraço a todos.

call for volunteer moderators, new forum, next steps
by brynn 05 Apr '19

05 Apr '19

Hi Friends, I posted messages in the forums last week, but I just realized I didn't post on the mailing lists. Since the Rules and Guidelines are essentially finished, the next step is to select moderators for the new forum. If anyone is interested in helping to moderate, please contact me. You can reply to this message on the list, or you're welcome to contact me privately, if you prefer. The Rules section of the Rules and Guidelines explains what the job of a moderator is. I think it will eventually appear on a new Forum Team on the website's Teams page, but it's not there yet. Meanwhile, it's here: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/vectors/content/blob/master/articles/Forum%20Ru… Not the meeting coming up this weekend, but next month's (May) meeting of the Vectors team, we'll be discussing plans for an opening of the new forum. At the moment, I'm thinking a month or 2 after the next hackfest would be good for the opening. The hackfest is end of May/beginning of June, so maybe July/August would be good for the forum opening? That's just a very rough guess at this point, and we'll finalize that at the May meeting. All best, brynn

Details for Project Refactoring
by Syed Shaharyaar Hussain 02 Apr '19

02 Apr '19

Hi I am interested in "Project Refactoring" being mentored by Tavmjong Bah, I have read about it at wiki.inkscape.org <http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Google_Summer_of_Code#P6._Refactori…>. However, I would like to know further details so that I can make my work distribution timeline for GSoC. Like what code needs to be converted into C++ and what not. Which directories are needed to be refactored and which not, etc. Is it purely developer's choice to refactor what he/she wants, or mentor/developer team will tell what things are to be refactored? Just as an Update : --> Working on "WIP Created canvas, drawing and common directories inside src/display" on gitlab. --> Understanding Inkscape Directory Heirarchy and Structure Best Regards Shaharyaar

Bug Migration Effort Kickoff
by Bryce Harrington 01 Apr '19

01 Apr '19

The Great Inkscape Bug Migration is ready to start! Please join us in moving Inkscape's bug reports from Launchpad to Gitlab. We're making a game out of it! Details on how to migrate bugs are available at this page: http://alpha.inkscape.org/bug-migration/ Thanks go to Terry Brown and Chris Rogers for setting this up. The tools allow tracking the bug migration effort, and gamify it using a leaderboard and randomly discoverable "Special Bugs". Those who gain enough points to reach different levels will be mailed Medal Stickers after the event, and the top three highest scorers will be acknowledged with special prizes. The outcome of this work will be good, well-described bug reports in our new bug tracker on Gitlab, thus making developers' lives easier as they work to resolve them. Our hope is that enough of the still-valid bugs get moved from Launchpad that we can shut down the old bug tracker entirely. Your work will help advance us towards this objective. Why not give a shot at migrating a bug or two yourself? Can you make it to Bronze Level? :-) Bryce On Sat, Nov 03, 2018 at 10:25:05AM -0700, Bryce Harrington wrote: > Hi all, > > I've got a little scripting project for someone interested in exercising > their python skills for Inkscape over the next couple weeks.

forum guidelines/rules 2nd draft review
by brynn 31 Mar '19

31 Mar '19

Hi again, I made the edits requested from the first review. And those gave me some other thoughts. I added a couple of new "wrinkles" to the prerequisites for moderator section, and for the duties and responsibilities. For the change in prerequisites, I thought it couldn't hurt to encourage wider participation in the community, just by adding that language, but it's not a strict prerequisite. For duties and responsibilities, the ability for a moderator to choose what they want to moderate is already allowed for the gallery moderation. So that's not a stretch. The reason for adding it is that it might encourage someone to help out (with approving new messages), if they otherwise didn't want to feel obligated to get involved in a behavior issue. New version: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/vectors/content/blob/master/articles/Forum%20Ru… Thanks again for any comments, suggestions! brynn

Please register for attending LGM
by Maren Hachmann 28 Mar '19

28 Mar '19

Hi all, I just got another message from Aude (who coordinates LGM and provides the space for the Saarbrücken hackfest). She is asking us to register for participation at LGM, so they can more easily plan for the resources they will need (e.g. ordering vegetarian lunch, ordering T-shirts, special needs, ...). Thanks everyone, Maren

GSoC candidate
by Alaa Nousir 26 Mar '19

26 Mar '19

Hello everyone! I'm so excited to introduce myself and interact with the community here and hopefully be a lively contributor to inkscape! First things first, *who am I and why do I want to apply?* I'm a communication and information engineering undergraduate student in Zewail City, Egypt. I also happen to be a freelance artist who likes to explore new art programs along the way. I'm in my 3rd year in engineering, and I have taken a strong Object-Oriented programming course in C++ last year and data structures and algorithms course this year. The final project for the C++ course was to add features to a paint program! It was an incredibly beneficial and fun experience. Some of the features were resizing, creating new shapes, redoing, undoing, and other similar tasks. Whenever I'm not learning anything new (through online courses or university courses), I invest time to enhance my artistic skills. I was skimming through the projects available to apply for in GSoC and I found inkscape. I was immediately hooked. It's perfect in every possible way! I'm already familiar with manipulating objects in GUIs, I have a strong passion for art, I'm experienced enough to know what the user would want to see available while drawing and I'm skilled in coding! *What have I accomplished so far from the tasks listed in the GSoC website?*I have already built and run the project, and I have chosen to work on P3. slice Items. I believe I have what it takes to contribute. I'm currently creating some artworks to upload on the website and formulating a rigid timeline to follow for the project I chose. *Inquiries: Regarding the submission of a drawing I have made task, I was wondering where exactly should I submit it. Would it be enough to just upload it on my inkscape profile and attach the link to my application? * *Also, where should I submit my inkscape application exactly?* Thank you for your time.

LGM/Saarbrücken Hackfest
by Maren Hachmann 26 Mar '19

26 Mar '19

Hi Inkscapers, today, I phoned Aude Poilroux, project manager working at k8, who had offered to help us with getting a space for the planned Hackfest before LGM. k8.design (Institut für strategische Ästhetik) ---------------------------------------------- A non-profit company (gGmbH) owned by the Saarbrücken arts university. They do work on organizing events, art cooperations, digital transformation, supporting and executing projects that originated in the university, and many other things that the university itself isn't allowed to do, because it's an educational institution, and not a business. Their offices are at Keplerstr. 3-5 in Saarbrücken. Meeting space ------------- Aude is offering us a part of k8's open-plan office for May 27th, 28th and 29th. The part is usually used as sitting area, but they want to put some additional chairs and tables in. She says the place can hold up to 20 persons (but then it will be a bit cramped). There is another adjacent office, that can hold about 10 persons, but it may not be available all the time. We could use it for discussing stuff, while working can be done in the larger room. I forgot to ask about whiteboard/blackboard/projector/flip chart or similar. There are lots of electricity outlets, but we might need to bring some German multiple socket outlets. They have WiFi. I'm not sure about wired LAN, but she says the internet connection is broad band and very fast. We could use the space from ~ 9:00 in the morning, and if we can name one responsible person, she is considering to give us a key, so we can stay as long as we need. There is no canteen, and no organized meals. However, the venue is located in a pedestrian zone with multiple places where one can buy food close by. One of them is a wholefood shop, which offers meals at reasonable prices. There are also a couple of bakeries, and then there's a microwave in the office. She is asking us to let her know the rough number of attendees by mid May. We would then also need to name a responsible person, who would need to sign for the group, and would guarantee for us not wreaking havoc in their offices. On the 29th, there will be an additional event called "From Code to Community", starting around midday, where local (as in ~ 100km radius) businesses and open source projects are meant to meet. The program isn't ready to be published yet, but it is planned that there will be keynotes by politicians and people from FSFE, talks about open source business applications, talks about open culture, a workshop on collaboration culture, booths from various open source projects (educational, LUGs, mapping, MSF, framasoft). The event is meant to attract students and businesses. It's going to take place in the same building where, at 18:00, the opening of LGM will take place. Aude is asking us if we would be able to staff a booth there, to present Inkscape to students and small businesses. The event is mostly in German, but people from Luxembourg and France are invited to attend too, so it might be useful to also have one of our French-speaking community members there. During LGM, they seem to have more rooms available than there will be conference tracks, so she says it should be possible to have a collaboration space for Inkscape. However, we probably won't be able to have the same place continuously, and we would have to ask when we need it. There is also plenty of sitting space available on the venue that is not in a separate room. So Q1: Shall I confirm the dates as written above? Q2: Would someone be interested in presenting Inkscape to local people before LGM on Wednesday? (I would be) And Q3: Is there anyone volunteering to be the one who holds the key (if we get one) and to sign the agreement? I will probably not stay late, so I'd like that to be someone else. It's probably not a problem to translate things to English, but someone from Germany would be preferred for this. Thanks! Please let me know what you think about Q1-Q3 quickly :) Maren

Status on extensions for 1.0?
by Bryce Harrington 26 Mar '19

26 Mar '19

Hi Martin, Would you mind giving us a status report on how the extension work is coming? Maybe a list of all the extensions and for each whether they're good to go, in progress, broken, etc. In reading some user critiques of Inkscape, sounds like some of the extensions may be underutilized, so 1.0 may be a useful point to do some selective curation? Curious about if you already have plans underway there. Bryce
