Inkscape Hackfest 2023
by René de Hesselle 17 Oct '22

17 Oct '22

Dear all, we’re trying to organize a Hackfest early 2023 in Germany at a location outside Cologne (~15 km). While the location won’t lend itself to sightseeing tours or visiting a different bar each night (because it's not in the city, more on the country side), it’s special appeal is that we actually don’t have to leave the premises: team room, hotel rooms and excellent catering (breakfast, lunch, dinner) are conveniently all in one place. Ideal conditions for late night sessions under the influence of beer and good company to spark commits for make benefit glorious library of Boost Pointer Container! ('grep -A 5 glorious src/3rdparty/2geom/include/2geom/curve.h‘ and you will understand) More details will be revealed later, for now let’s see which week(s) to look at for possible booking and how many people are interested. Please use your GitLab handle as your name to vote within 7 days: https://framadate.org/FKWRfp1N54R1YJr3 (Two weeks in February are missing because traveling during carnival season through a hotspot like Cologne isn’t fun.) Cheers! René

Anybody build from source on RH EL 8 (or related)?
by David Mathog 14 Oct '22

14 Oct '22

This question was first posted here (recently): https://inkscape.org/forums/beyond/anybody-build-from-source-on-rh-el-8-or-… It was kind of long, so please just read that and then reply here. Found this script in the current developer's instructions: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape-ci-docker/-/raw/master/install_depende… Have not tried it yet. It lists Fedora but not any of the RHEL variants. Also, under Fedora poppler is not explicitly called out as a dependency, and from the first link, building poppler was a problem. Does the Fedora build not use poppler, or does it come in automatically from one of the other dnf commands? For reference, see also: https://forums.centos.org/viewtopic.php?t=76971 For Centos 8.3 (or maybe it was 8.2) "dnf install poppler-devel" worked, but for almalinux 8.6 it does not, failing with a: No match for argument: poppler-devel Thanks, David Mathog

Godot Company
by Martin Owens 22 Aug '22

22 Aug '22

Dear PLC & Devel, This is an interesting bit of news. Godot, which is a member of the Software freedom Conservancy, and one of their largest other projects have had their leadership set up a for profit company called w4 games. This is ostensibly to develop Godot further. "Our mission is to strengthen the open source Godot ecosystem by providing companies with the commercial products and services they need." - https://w4games.com/ This is interesting to us here I believe. One of the conflicts I have personally with the SFC is how constraining and limited the SFC are for many of the things that would allow Inkscape to grow, invite commercial partners, hire developers, pay mentors, fund marketing research and design. Material things that we currently patch together with very kind support for key volunteers, but should be more properly resourced. Has anyone here had thoughts about developing a commercial company to develop Inkscape? I'm going to be reaching out to the new Godot business as well as a few of their contacts to see what their thoughts are and see what I can learn and if we can copy them. Best Regards, Martin Owens
