Hi everyone, this is just a small reminder that the application period for the Inkscape board has started. It is planned to last until August, 18th 2015. Please consider if you can imagine to extend your support for Inkscape to include some legal and financial responsibility for the project. Or if you know someone who you think could be a suitable person for one of the two vacant board seats, don't hesitate to submit a nomination. In either case, send your mail to inkscape.elections.committee@...3261... so we can help with your candidacy / ask the nominee. For more info about the process, also see https://inkscape.org/en/about/governance/board-duties/ If you have any questions about Board duties, or the election process, also don't hesitate to contact the elections committee via inkscape.elections.committee@...3261... . Thank you! Regards, Maren Hachmann

vpaint - new revolutionary open source vector animation technology - github+ demos
by Todor Imreorov 10 Aug '15

10 Aug '15

What is vpaint: VPaint is an experimental vector graphics editor based on the Vector Animation Complex (VAC), a technology developed by a collaboration of researchers at Inria and the University of British Columbia, featured at SIGGRAPH 2015. It allows you to create resolution-independent illustrations and animations using innovative techniques. it is open source and it has a solution to some of current vector graphic's biggest flaws. See video here: https://youtu.be/NdQFAMe7TlY It also has tweening capabilities, which makes it incredibly powerful as a 2d animation tool: https://youtu.be/Xk1_CugdytI Website: http://www.vpaint.org/ github: https://github.com/dalboris/vpaint Available for windows, linux and mac Posting this with the hope that some of inkscape's developers could look into a way to integrate some of the features into inkscape.

Inkscape Call for Candidates
by Ted Gould 05 Aug '15

05 Aug '15

Inkscape is holding elections for two vacant Board Member seats. As you may know, two of our seven Inkscape Board Members have resigned a few months ago. Now that all the infrastructure we need for an election is in place, we want to invite our Official Project Members¹ to run for a seat on the board. We encourage everyone of you to consider increasing your involvement in the project by applying as a candidate for the Inkscape Board. If you are an Official Project Member, and would like to run or to nominate someone, please send your suggestion to inkscape.elections.committee@...3260... We will then ask the person you nominated (if not you) if they are willing to accept their candidature. Details about the Board's duties, the application process and the election schedule can be found below: Duties Typically the board votes on things such as project fund expenditures (travel, conferences, marketing materials for events, etc), trademark related issue, other legal issues that arise, etc. The board does not have responsibility currently for technical decisions for the project, and does not handle social/community issues where there are no financial or legal aspects to the problem. Board membership requires a commitment of time: At a minimum you will be expected to participate in votes on the mailing list, which typically occur with a frequency of about 0 to 3 per month. You are required to be on the board mailing list, which has a volume of about 30-50 emails per month; you're not required to participate in the discussions, but it is very strongly encouraged. We also solicit volunteers from the board to serve as as event managers, team leaders, fundraising coordinators, etc. - Again, not a requirement, but we value board members who can shoulder such duties for the project. Board members will serve on the Board until they resign (or are removed from the Board under the provisions of the Fiscal Sponsorship Agreement with Software Conservancy — available on https://inkscape.org/en/about/governance/). Candidature The election process starts with a Candidacy Period during which any Official Member may indicate interest in running for the positions. To register, please email inkscape.elections.committee@...3261..., giving your: * Name (legal name required when elected) * Current professional affiliation * Statement of contribution to Inkscape or related technologies * A personal statement At the end of the Candidacy Period, the applicants will be reviewed to verify eligibility. The list of candidates will then by published, and the community will have a chance to ask questions on the development mailing list. And then we will move forward with voting for the candidates. More information for voters will be sent before the election starts. Schedule The schedule for the elections will be as follows: * Candidacy period Start: August 5th, 2015 * Candidacy period End: August 18th, 2015 (08:00 UTC) * Publication of Candidates & start of Candidate Q&A: August 18th, 2015 * Election Start: August 18th, 2015 * Election End: September 2nd, 2015 (08:00 UTC) * Results Posted: September 4th, 2015 Full election procedures can be found here: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~inkscape.board/+junk/board-docs/view/head:/res… The Inkscape Elections Committee ¹ For this election we are using r14222 of the AUTHORS file for the list of eligible voters and possible candidates http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape/trunk/view/14222/AUTHORS If you believe that there is an error in that version (omission or mistaken inclusion) please contact the election committee as soon as possible.

Wrong positioning of guidelines on the typography extension
by Felipe Sanches 04 Aug '15

04 Aug '15

Hello, there! I am the original author of the typography extensions in Inkscape. Those were implemented roughly 4 years ago and used to work well. I tried using them again today and noticed that the positioning of the guidelines is wrong in the current development version of Inkscape. The specific one I'm talking about is: share/extensions/setup_typography_canvas.py Looking at git blame (I am using git bzr) I have seen that tavmjong did modify the code some months ago (actually in October 2014) adding a declaration of document units being in pixels. =================== commit 4c2c309889e6c7ad12ddd2479294ccc6f3564953 Author: tavmjong-free <tavmjong@...8...> Date: Thu Oct 9 11:25:39 2014 +0200 Add proper 'viewBox', set 'inkscape:document-units', set maximum em-size to 2048 as is typical in TrueType. =================== What I observe on the current misbehaviour is that the positioning of the guidelines is being done as if the units were given in millimeters... I'm not sure whose fault is this: If it is the parsing of the sp-guide parameters that ignore units, or if it is my extension that should explicitely append "px" to the values instead of simply passing plain unit-less numbers. Anyway... It's been a long time I've written this code and perhaps someone here who's been more active these years in the project may have a quick answer to my issue. Otherwise, I'll be investigating it further in order to get it fixed, anyway. happy hacking, Felipe Sanches (a.k.a. "Juca")

Hi Axel, David and others, There is no issue or problem as far as translations are concerned. We already have the translations done for all Indic languages and these are also attached in the Bugs (https://bugs.launchpad.net/~cpdhutadmal ). If this can be taken ahead, Indic language users will be very happy. Regards,Chandrakant Dhutadmal.Pune, India.

Problems in rendering LaTeX in Windows 7
by Yuxiang Wang 02 Aug '15

02 Aug '15

Dear all, I find my Inkscape 0.91 for Windows 7 64-bit has problems in rendering LaTeX. What I did was: 1) Extensions - Render - LaTeX 2) Enter "test" in LaTeX input 3) Click "Apply". Then, a cmd.exe window will pop out and just hang there. If I close this window, I get: Inkscape has received additional data from the script executed. The script did not return an error, but this may indicate the results will not be as expected. ^Cinvalid LaTeX input: test temporary files were left in: c:\users\admini~1\appdata\local\temp\inkscape-zxdypk Could anyone please help? Thanks! Shawn -- Yuxiang "Shawn" Wang Gerling Haptics Lab University of Virginia yw5aj@...3259... +1 (434) 284-0836 https://sites.google.com/a/virginia.edu/yw5aj/
