announce hackfest? (advocacy group/team?)
by brynn 13 Jun '17

13 Jun '17

Hi Friends, Should we put up an announcement about the upcoming hackfest, on the website and forums? (I realize it's already been announced on mailing list.) I found this page: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Hackfest2017 But it doesn't give the agenda - only where attendees will meet each day. (The Hackfest Topics page isn't written yet.) If someone can give me, if not agenda, just a short list of potential topics, I can write up a quick News item for the website. Something more than just - fix bugs, stability, and infrastructure - if possible? (And I'll also make forum posts.) Apparently we don't need donations so much this time. But (announcing) it would still be an opportunity to keep the user community more involved -- even if all they can do is read about it. Speaking of announcing, should we take another shot at creating an advocacy group or team? Maybe after the hackfest activity is over? Late July - August-ish? All best, brynn

Re: [Inkscape-devel] I would like to speak to the person who compiled and uploaded Inkscape to the Windows Store
by brynn 13 Jun '17

I think I see the problem. I don't know why I never noticed it before, but there's an unclipped blur (or 2 or 3), which must be intentional, in the official logo. https://inkscape.org/en/~inkscape/%E2%98%85inkscape-official-logo-vector I don't know if it's a rumor, but someone mentioned the MS site doesn't handle that partial transparency very well. And it certainly appears as if that were the problem, by how the logo looks there. (It's not uncommon. I've seen a lot of sites like that. ImageShack, for example.) If this would solve the problem, I've created a version of the logo with a clip path, so that the blur isn't extending. The original is not changed at all. Just put a clip path on top. https://inkscapecommunity.com/jd/imgs/InkscapeLogo-w-clip.svg Exported PNG: https://inkscapecommunity.com/jd/imgs/InkscapeLogo-w-clip.png Glad to provide the files, instead of just links. Just don't want to attach into the mailing list. All best, brynn -----Original Message----- From: David Washington Sent: Monday, June 12, 2017 9:27 AM To: Miguel Lopez ; brynn ; Martin Owens ; Marc Jeanmougin ; Maren Hachmann ; inkscape-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net Cc: Jerry Nixon (XAML) Subject: RE: [Inkscape-devel] I would like to speak to the person who compiled and uploaded Inkscape to the Windows Store Hello! David from Microsoft here. Editing the icon is absolutely possible. This is done by updating the "store logo" on the developer portal. I believe Marc has the credentials to log in and fix this (I don't believe we have the ability to fix this on our end.) I don't have permissions to post attachments to this list but those of you who are on this direct email can view the attachment with the re-generated images that should be crisp and perfect on the store website. I understand how important this is. As a vector art tool, it doesn't make sense to have raster artifacts in the store logo. Let's work together to get this fixed.

It doesn't help that there's some sort of relationship between open source community in general and Microsoft. https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.reddit… I had to respond to him, and mentioned why the icon looks that way. You can find him on r/Surface, and r/Krita. It's probably not the first time someone brought it up. If editing the icon is not a option, the next best course is to have the page edited, and make it clear with a link and direction to get to the link to authenticate the validity of the Windows 10S version of Inkscape. Either way, I really rather not see this incident again, and it's clear that Microsoft wants to support open-source software, but I got to admit it's partly because they know some softwares will benefit their goals of having the Store given attention. Now with business, you can be assured that Windows 10S will be used for security purpose, and in a lot of case, Inkscape will probably be part of the package. But, I"m not here to discuss that, but only putting this out there. Really, the 1-bit limitation is not something that should exist in 2017.

Forget say you have in all LPE's the value "is_visible" and you can use with doOnVisibilityToggled or without. Cheers, Jabier.

I would like to speak to the person who compiled and uploaded Inkscape to the Windows Store
by Miguel Lopez 13 Jun '17

Hi Inkscape-devel subscriber and developers, So, just as the title said. I am making a Krita series of file with the icon suitable for the Windows Store. Why am I speaking of this? As attached is the progress so far. Because, it has come to my attention that someone thinks Inkscape in the Windows Store is fake, and the icon alone, and the screenshots are very telling signs that it is fake. So, now, I have decided to make a Krita file to share for the icon. Also, the guy who shared the lie that Inkscape is fake on Windows store also thinks Krita is fake within Windows Store. If you are that person that I want, if you would like me to proceed with the creation of the icon, I would be happy to offer the icon. Right now, this is all I'm going to do at the moment. In any case, legitimacy is something to acknowledge as part of the project. Also, .zip is rejected? Is there a list of rejected extensions so that I wouldn't get Undeliverable message? Thanks for reading, Miguel Lopez

Hi, David Washington and Inkscape developers, I believe I have my own solution the icon problem without requiring additional source code or Microsoft fixing the 1-bit transparency problem. Additional source code offers the benefits of having just separate logo for Windows 10S and non 10S version, but requires maintenance or additional time to maintain. If you note that many application logo does not actually use shadows, it is perfectly acceptable for the Inkscape application logo to lack shadow(s). Updating the current Inkscape logo would help solve this. In the attached files, it is the Inkscape logo without the shadows. It is still beautiful with 1-bit transparency mask restriction.

Either way, I really rather not see this incident again, and it's clear that Microsoft wants to support open-source software, but I got to admit it's partly because they know some softwares will benefit their goals of having the Store given attention. Now with business, you can be assured that Windows 10S will be used for security purpose, and in a lot of case, Inkscape will probably be part of the package.

[Gitlab Migration] DONE
by Ted Gould 12 Jun '17

12 Jun '17

Hello all, There seems to be a good Git repository on Gitlab now: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape I think there's still work to do in making the branch names, for releases especially, consistent. And there are probably many that can be deleted. But folks should be able to get back to work using that Git repository. A reminder to folk that we have a guide in the Wiki, and I found a Gitlab cheat sheet on Git as well. Please ask on the mailing list or in #inkscape-devel if you have issues. http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Working_with_Git https://about.gitlab.com/images/press/git-cheat-sheet.pdf Thanks everyone, Ted
