Okay, I've cobbled this together about as best I can. :) https://inkscape.org/en/news/2018/09/20/inkscape-hackfest-kiel-2018-what-ha… That means there are probably errors and omissions. If you find either, please let me know. :) Back to the video stuff! -C

Inkscape g+ feed, moderator still blocking me. Also posted this:
by C R 23 Sep '18

23 Sep '18

Mr. Grady is still on the offensive, and is getting defensive too. He says: "Please folks, I don't care who someone is. If someone is engaging in discussions, especially helping a new Inkscape user learn and your only contribution is to troll the person offering the help, expect to at least have the posts deleted. If that's kind of your modus operandii around here, then you'll eventually get kicked." Of course, still denying his role in the issue. I'm still blocked, and see nothing but excuses from Mr. Grady, still treating our Inkscape feed like his personal property. Solutions? Thanks for the attention to this matter. -C

Your hackfest experience.
by C R 21 Sep '18

21 Sep '18

Hey folks. I'm going to do a writeup of the hackfest to accompany and help finish the video content. If each of the hackfest attendees could answer these questions for me, I'll combine all of it into the hackfest summary. 1. What did you work on during the Kiel hackfest? 2. What do you consider the best benefit to being at the Kiel hackfest this year? 3. What were the most fun things or things you most enjoyed about the hackfest? 4. Did your hackfest activities extend beyond the hackfest? 5. Did the hackfest increase your motivation to work on the Inkscape project? 6. Anything else you'd like to include. :) Thanks for your comments. I'll begin posting video content this week, (3-4 videos in total), witht he goal of releasing the hackfest summary first, so the sooner everyone responds to this information, the sooner I can put it together with some accompanying photos into a complete summary. Thanks for you help, and it was super cool to be able to hang out with all of you. Last week. -C

Inkscape Hackfest Summary - How do I make a new article on the Inkscape website?

Never done this before... Is there a way to publish markdown and pictures to a news story on the website? I can then link to it in a G+ press release. Thanks. :) -C

One of the moderators on our Inkscape G+ feed is blocking comments and slinging insults
by C R 20 Sep '18

20 Sep '18

imho, they should not be in charge of moderating the Inkscape's g+ feed. The name of this moderator is Grady Broyles. They have: 1. Falsely asserted that pngs are lossy. (not good for the project) 2. Falsely asserted that pngs are locked at 96dpi (just plain wrong, esp for those wanting to print their pngs) 3. Abused their moderator status by blocking arguments proving his statements incorrect. 4. Engaged in personal attacks. imho, this person is not fit to moderate the Inkscape G+ feed. Thanks for your attention to this matter. :) Here is a screenshot of the above: https://imgur.com/a/2ToD1VT This was in response to my comment (which did not fit in the screencapture): +Grady Broyles <https://plus.google.com/117132892207917418648> I've been exporting pngs from Inkscape at 600dpi A4 for the last 7 years... what on earth makes you think it is locked at 96 dpi? -C

Regressions Tracker
by unknown＠example.com 19 Sep '18

19 Sep '18

Dear developers, One of the discussions we had in Kiel was the potential to host a tracker to document some of the regressions that we have on GitLab. While we're keeping the inkscape issues tracker closed for now, I've created a project to hold the regressions for 1.0. These are mostly for programmers to document errors and talk between ourselves about possible solutions, rather than end user issues. https://gitlab.com/inkscape/regressions I don't think this'll interfere with anything, but let me know if it opens too many problems and I'll close it down. Best Regards, Martin Owens

Rocket.Chat / chat.inkscape.org
by Bryce Harrington 19 Sep '18

19 Sep '18

Hi all, The Vectors team, after experimenting with a number of different online discussion tools, has selected Rocket.Chat as the best option for their team's discussions. Thanks to hard work by new Inkscaper Manuel Recena, this is up and running in Inkscape's official hosting, and is just about ready for use. While this is specifically set up at the request of the Vectors team, other teams are welcome to use it too if they wish. The #inkscape and #inkscape-devel freenode IRC channels will continue to be our primary discussion channels, no changes are planned for that. There are a few decisions that still need to be made on how Rocket.Chat is configured and used. We figured these questions deserve broader discussion, so are bringing them here. Ryan, could you reply on this thread with what decisions need to be made? Bryce

Cusp corner cap even with rounded corners active (stroke)
by Maren Hachmann 12 Sep '18

12 Sep '18

Jabier asked me to share this file via mailing list. The shape in it has a stroke with round caps. Only one corner looks as if it has another type of cap. The cap type depends upon the size of the path. When you make it larger, it starts to look as expected. In Firefox it looks as expected at any size. (Hackfest bug reported by Robert who is visiting us and uses Inkscape for teaching students about building technology) Maren

Inkscape source license clarification
by Maximilian Gaukler 10 Sep '18

10 Sep '18

Dear Dmitry, ./src/main-cmdlinexact.cpp and ./src/main-cmdlinexact.h are licensed as GPL-v2.x-only. This is a problem because inkscape has implicitly switched to GPLv3 by including widget code from GIMP. Is it okay to relicense your code to "GPLv2 or any later version"? Otherwise I fear that someone would have to rewrite or remove it. Greetings from the Kiel Hackfest, Max

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Price Quote: Customize and add Inkscape to our software XCLASS
by Pavi 10 Sep '18

10 Sep '18

Dear Aditya, Thank you for your reply. Is there any procedure to take it up forward? Like I would like to know point of contact for such queries on customizing or is it open for hundreds of developers and anyone would offer the quote and I chose the best one? Is there a team who manages and collect the status? Also please give me any point of contact of the board of developers. I am also aware of the inkscape license and we just want a simplified version of inkscape to be added to our software as a plugin. We are looking to modify the content with SunTech's logo and preferences. We want to introduce inkscape to primary schools from level1 to high school in different stages so that students develop their creativity as they move to higher classes. Our XCLASS software is also developed using C++. Since we don’t have enough bandwidth from our developers to customize inkscape, we are looking forward to the help of your developers since they know about the source code inside out, it could be easier for them too and we can finish off the project sooner.

Hello All, I'm on my way back from the GNOME Libre Applications Summit in Denver, having showcased Inkscape, alongside other free creative software, as part of a professional workflow. It was a great experience and was very well received. As I am in an airport please pardon the lack of an agenda and the late reminder. Our Vectors meeting will be at the usual time (https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Inkscape+Vectors+…) (https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Inkscape+Vectors+…) and usual place (https://teams.freecreatives.org (https://teams.freecreatives.org)).

Chris, I just added you to the project's Google account, which will give you owner access to both the G+ page and YouTube channel <https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKKj0FJtVE8sGn4afabKvTA?view_as=subscriber>. I'm happy to upload the videos if you run into any issues, but you should have what you need to upload them directly now. It would be great to keep people updated via social media. If you want to post with your personal social accounts, we'll try to boost the posts with the #InkscapeHackfest tag in them. If you have access to the official accounts, feel free to post directly so we can keep people informed about what is happening. People love visual content, so take lots of pictures! :) If there is anything I or anyone on the Vectors team can help with, let us know. Thanks to all of you who are sacrificing to be there. I hope you all have a fantastic time! Ryan

improve organization of Extensions menu
by brynn 05 Sep '18

05 Sep '18

Hi Friends, As part of my project to get all the known external extensions listed in one place, and trying to organize them (using the current Extensions menu as a starting place) I've realized that how the Extensions menu is organized might need some improvement. I've also discussed it privately with a couple of other users. So I thought I'd bring up the subject with developers. For example. 1 -- Should Stylesheet be a submenu under Web? 2 -- Should Typography be a submenu under Text? Currently, many extension makers seem to be making their own submenus for their extensions. For people who use a lot of external extensions, I wonder if their menus are harder to use. If we had the menu already organized, it might inspire extension makers to put their extensions into the pre-existing submenus, rather than make their own. 3 -- Should there be a Gcode submenu under Export? (more about Export submenu below) In my list, I've created a separate Gcode category. There are lots of external extensions which produce gcode (approx 20). I don't know where they would show up in the Extensions menu, yet (since I just now learned how to find out). But as I said, it might help keep the menu clean, to have submenus ready for the external extensions, even if there might not be any built-in extensions for some submenus. 4 -- Should the current Gcodetools submenu appear within this proposed Gcode submenu? 5 -- To accomodate external extensions, both Render and Export need to be divided into several submenus. 6 -- I've also created a new category (for my list) Animation/Presentation (currently 10 or 12 of them). It seems like the existing JessyInk submenu should go under there (assuming we were to agree on adding such a submenu). 7 -- There are 3 external extensions which comprise a Boolean category. But shouldn't Boolean be under the existing Modify Path submenu? 8 -- And once I get all the external ones organized, I guess other instances of potentially improved organization might come to light. If anyone else has any observations about improving the organization of the Extensions menu, please feel free to make comments :-) Yes, I realize a lot of developers are getting ready to go to Hackfest. But I wanted to mention this, in case it might come up. Otherwise, it can still be discussed, now or later. Thank you very much, brynn
