tutorials for Inkscape website
by brynn 10 Jan '20

10 Jan '20

Hi Friends, I'm brynn and I've contacted most of you before, as much as 5 or 6 years ago, when I was first creating a centralized listing of Inkscape tutorials (on Inkscape Community https://forum.inkscapecommunity.com/index.php). Unfortunately, for personal reasons, I'm going to have to close Inkscape Community at the end of this month. However, with help from the Inkscape website team, I've set up a somewhat similar system on the Inkscape website, where we want to make a new collection of tutorials. So I want to invite all of you Inkscape tutorial authors to join us, and make a new collection of tutorials on the Inkscape website. Please visit this new page when you have a chance, and check it out. https://inkscape.org/learn/tutorials/ If you'd like to help, please join us in the Documentation chatroom: https://chat.inkscape.org/channel/documentation. Or repy to the Docs mailing list, if you're subscribed. Or email me at the return address of this message, or use the website PM system (click on my profile, then the envelope icon). All best, brynn

Inkscape at FOSDEM 2020
by Philip Durbin 06 Jan '20

06 Jan '20

Hello! My name is Philip Durbin and I'm an open source developer at Harvard who is giving a talk about a project at work (Dataverse) at FOSDEM 2020 in Brussels, Belgium in a few weeks (Feb 1-2) and who would be happy to meet up with other Inkscape users or developers who are also attending. The website is https://fosdem.org/2020/ If you'd like to meet up, please let me know! Thanks, Phil p.s. I'm a newbie when it comes to Inkscape but my kids and I are having a blast with it (on the family iMac with the new 1.0 beta). Check out the kitten my daughter and I drew: http://blog.greptilian.com/2020/01/03/learning-inkscape/ p.p.s. I attended yesterday's Vectors team meeting and wrote up some thoughts at http://blog.greptilian.com/2020/01/05/first-inkscape-vectors-meeting-of-202…

A Big thank you from a long time inkscape user
by Victor Westmann 30 Dec '19

30 Dec '19

Hi Everyone, I would like to thank everyone for the hard work you all had during the past 10 years or so. I am an inkscape user since 2007 and I couldn't be more satisfied. This project came such a long way both in the application and in the team structure. I remember we were using mailing lists in source forge. And when our website was not using Django. What makes me the happier is to see that the application now have layers, floating panels, dark theme (spoiler for 1.0 version!), more features, more languages, and it runs on Mac without X11! I got really surprised when I realized that a lot of the feature requests were accepted and even implemented in the project. So thank you very much for caring. And for reaching out. I still feel I don't have a lot of knowledge on the program (yes, this is how I feel) and my time is limited, just like anybody else, but I will do my best to commit to help onboard more users whenever possible. Thank you so much for everyone involved in this project. Inkscape makes the world a better place for everyone. Thanks, Victor

Possible bug in Inkscape 0.92 Export Plot extension
by G Jenkins 24 Dec '19

24 Dec '19

Hi folks I'm emailing the developer list to see if I need to submit a bug report for an issue I haven't been able to resolve through the User Forum. I am using Inkscape 0.92 on Ubuntu 18.04.3 to cut vinyl using a Liyu SC631 cutter, connected using a USB port. Before I updated to Ubuntu 18.04.3 I used Inkcut without any problems. I understand that Inkcut is now deprecated so I have been trying to use the Export/Plot extension instead. The issue is that when I do this the cutter cuts an extra, unwanted, line direct from the last point of the drawing back to the origin, spoiling the item being cut. The problem does not occur when I use Inkcut. Is this a case of "operator error", in which case what am I doing wrong, or is it a bug which I need to report? Any replies gratefully received. Gareth

Inkscape shape to path algorithm development
by Bryce Harrington 24 Dec '19

24 Dec '19

Happy Holidays everyone! I had lunch with one of the Fontforge developers the other day, Skef Iterum. He's been working on improvements to their glyph outline stroking support, including some algorithmic work that he thinks would be relevant to Inkscape as well. Once Inkscape 1.0 is done and the codebase is open for feature work, he may be interested in seeing if the same algorithmic work could be applied to Inkscape's codebase. He's not conversant in Inkscape's C++ coding conventions (fontforge is C) but has been going through 2geom and livarot and sees some areas for improvement. Marc, I suggested you'd be a great guy for Skef to bounce ideas and plans around with, and offered to introduce you to him. Would you be around to chat with him on IRC some time? Bryce

Read the docs Manual administrative backup
by Maren Hachmann 15 Dec '19

15 Dec '19

Hi everyone, can you help by volunteering as an administrative backup for the beginners' guide at https://inkscape-manuals.readthedocs.io ? (as there's no official project email address, I'm not sure how else to make sure that someone else has access there, too) What I'd need from you is your readthedocs.org user name. Currently, that position comes without any additional work, as I'm able to take care of what needs to be done. It is only a backup thing, as there's currently a bus factor of 1. I'd like to have at least two other persons in the project registered with it. Thank you! Maren
