Inkscape 0.48 Release Progress
by Joshua A. Andler 16 Feb '10

16 Feb '10

Hey All, It appears that everything is still on track for 0.48. Given that, I'd like to remind everyone that Chill will be setting in about 2 weeks from now. For those that do not know, here's what happens during Chill: New feature development focuses on wrapping up. We identify current 'make distcheck' issues. Have a small sprint to Triage new bug reports. Run an About Screen contest. Ensure that the Release Notes are at First Draft stage. Update tutorials and other docs (we could use volunteers). I'd like to push that if we want to get the DBUS stuff in for this release, that we look to get it merged by the 1st of March if possible (we just need to not break anyone's compilation, we can get it working on all platforms after the fact). Lastly, there is always an "open culture" issue about the hosting of the About Screen contest. Unless someone has something functional and easy for us to use by Chill, it will be taking place via DeviantART again. Any questions or comments? Cheers, Josh

Connecticut Film Festival
by Joseph Annino 15 Feb '10

15 Feb '10

I am a volunteer with the Connecticut Film Festival, Interactive and New Media component. Our festival, in its 6th year, this being the 2nd year of the Interactive and New Media component, is looking for presenters for workshops and panels. The festival is May 4-9, with the Interactive component on May 7,8,9, Friday to Sunday, in Danbury CT, located about 60 miles from New York City. Our theme this year is "Connections Multiplied". We have a strong focus on free and open source software for creative professionals. I think Inkscape would be an excellent fit as an illustration tool. We already have presenters lined up for Blender and Celtx, and representatives from the FSF and EFF. We want this festival to be a way for developers and users of these tools to connect with each other, as well as educate the larger public about their existence, usefulness, and importance. If anyone with extensive user, development, and/or training/presentation experience with Inkscape is interested in being a presenter please contact me at joeaguy@...400... to discuss further. We can provide hotel accommodations, and have limited funds to reimburse travel, so we would prefer someone based in the north east USA if you need travel reimbursement. I would also like to extend an invitation to our conference to all the members of this list. Please feel free to pass on this message to anyone whom might be interested. Our web site is http://ctfilmfest.com

Re: [Inkscape-devel] [Lib2geom-devel] Geom::Path and boost::ptr_vector

To clarify: you're talking about a path which is NOT closed? Then it sounds logical (although I wonder why Inkscape would add a closing segment). If you're talking about having a closed path and then not adding the closing segment, please reconsider. Inkscape used to do this in the past and it caused some very nasty bugs (having to do with round-tripping for one), apart from simply being incorrect (at least in SVG).

LPE Extrude: need some input!
by unknown＠example.com 13 Feb '10

13 Feb '10

Hi all, I just 'finished' LPE extrude. I'd like you to test it, see if it bugs for some paths. And, I'd like your input. What should be added and what should be improved? You have to build Inkscape with "#define LPE_ENABLE_TEST_EFFECTS", otherwise the LPE won't show in the LPE dialog. (uncommenting line 9 in src/live_effects/effect.cpp will do the trick) Thanks, Johan

File preview size limit
by Nicolas Dufour 13 Feb '10

13 Feb '10

Hi all, Heisenbug suggests, in bug #499310 (preview cutoff at 1.3 MB too small for images, https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/499310), that we set a higher file preview size limit. The current value is 1.3Mo, and the suggested one is 10Mo. Is this value acceptable? Regards. -- Nicolas

Quicktorials
by Robert Martinez 11 Feb '10

11 Feb '10

Is there anybody interested in implementig quicktorials into Inkscape? The integrating video tutorial project (http://quicktorials.org) is beginning to be usable and ready for some real implementations. There is a "Help" section on the page, but I would be happy to discuss any arising questions. Cheers, Robert
