Hi all, I'm here writing you and you don't know me yet. :) Probably you might have read about my company: nois3lab. Well my workmate in particular set up the website you may have heard about: inkscapegallery.net. Now it's time (well you know we're kinda late, but... forget it :P) to show it proudly to the world. So we're going to this year italian hackmeeting to have some workshops about this. Showing why inkscape, why free software, why drupal and so on. But obviously we wanted to talk about the real topic, which is inkscape. And we thought: who better that its developer could? So, here I am: there will be some of you guys who want to come and take a workshop about the software itself? The roadmap, the status, the choices. It'll be of great pleasure for us all. Btw this years' saturday session will be focused on free software graphics, and video with some gimp sessions, some cinelerra's and pureData's... Here's the website http://it.hackmeeting.org and the wiki on which we're planning the meeting http://www.hackmeeting.org/_wiki/ Down here some info about hackmeeting. ---- The Hackmeeting was born in 1998 as the time and place for Italian and international digital counterculters, hackers and activists to share ideas, discuss projects and plan strategies on cyber-rights, electronic tools for struggling and alternative views of society. In 10 years it has been organized in Florence, Milan, Rome, Catania, Bologna, Genova, Torino, Naples, Pisa, Palermo and Parma. Every year it has been participated by hundreds of people, each one contributing to the event with debates, projects, software, concerts, talks, and a lot more. This year the hackmeeting is back in Milan, in the neighbourhood that will be swept away by the 2015 International Exposition projects. Our slogan will be: Hack your fear! Build your future! Hackmeeting is a story twelve years old. Hackmeeting has been born in 1998 and has been hold every year since that date, all over Italy, from north to south, in Florence, Milan, Rome, Bologna, Turin, Pisa, Genoa, Naples, Palermo, Catania, Parma. It has gathered nerds, cyber activists, geeks, techies, but also anyone who cared to subscribe to a general definition of hacking as changing one's own life to suit one's own desire, overcoming limit and borders, self-managing tools and spaces. The Hackmeeting has always focused on open hardware and free software, on digital countercultures, economies without capital, free speech against repression, and tried to point out the evolution and the impact of computers and electronic communication on the information system and on all of our lives. Hackmeeting offers workshop, conferences, spontaneous discussion, cyber art performances, and much more. Each proposed activity, though, is meant as one of the facet of a philosophical framework based on sharing, openness, decentralization, free access, human evolution, and aimed at a political outcome. Hackmeeting is organized by a community of hackers unique in the world for its desire to funnel the hacker ethics into political activism, far beyond the limits of the technological environment. The Hackmeeting community thinks hacking is a tool to alter reality and society as a whole. The Hackmeeting is usually a three-days long event and it's completely self-organized through an open and non-moderated mailing list (https://www.autistici.org/mailman/listinfo/hackmeeting ) and wiki (http://hackmeeting.org/_wiki/index.php?title=Pagina_principale ), as well as local live meeting in the city which will hold the next edition. It often takes place in social centers, community spaces, and squats, to stress the close relationship between hacking and the underground political scene. (http://aia.mahost.org/pro_spaces.html) The first two days are dedicated to workshop, conferences and debates. The third is usually dedicated to a big plenum, where all the participants analyse new ideas and possibilities pointed out during the meeting, sum up all the event and reflects and examines projects for the next future. For the first time in 2009 Hackmeeting is going to be splitted in two parts, to reach as many people as possible: Warm up and Hackmeeting. Warm up is a series of events which will take place in various univerisities in Milan (Accademia di belle arti di Brera, Fisica, Bovisa, Bicocca, Scienze politiche, and Cascina Torchiera), between june 9th and 18th. They will be open conferences presented by researchers, experts, activists on ethics and hackers culture issues as hacking and net art history, open source, fear embedded societies, security and control, open design e 3D animation, peer to peer economy, ecohacking (hacker approach to ecology). The Hackmeeting itself will take place in Sos Fornace, Rho (sosfornace.org) from june 19th to 21st: three days of workshops, lan space, sharing, meetings, discussions on free software, code, net neutrality, peer to peer and also digital countercultures, economies without capital, free speech against repression. Dedicated to the people who have adopted a critical and proactive approach towards the advancement of new technologies -- which are more and more tied to social control, the business of war and the commercialization of every vital space. Three days of workshops, games, parties, debates, exchanges and most of all, collective learning.

slow selection frame redraw
by Alexandre Prokoudine 02 Jun '09

02 Jun '09

Hi, A question asked out of curiosity. Currently when you draw a rubberband selection rectangle over an area where obhects have SVG Filters applied, especially with a Gaussian blur primitive, speed of redrawing the rectangle gets noticeably slower. Why is that? Alexandre

LPE's: Red line vs. Green line
by Tavmjong Bah 02 Jun '09

02 Jun '09

Why does the Spiro LPE use a green line while the others LPE's use a red line to show the original path? It would be better, I think, if there was consistency between all the LPE's. (I realize that the original path is not very useful for the Spiro LPE.) Tav

whatever happened to the CAD tools?
by heathenx 02 Jun '09

02 Jun '09

Just curious if anyone was planing on resurrecting the basic CAD tools that we used to have at one time during the 0.47 dev process. Was that just a proof of concept or will they be implemented at some point (0.48 perhaps)? heathenx

LPEs for 0.47, take two
by Alexandre Prokoudine 02 Jun '09

02 Jun '09

Hi, Could we possibly try to include two currently disabled LPEs into 0.47? I'm particularly talking about: 1. Mirror symmetrically, which resolves multiple times requested symmetric drawing mode 2. Booloops, which makes Spiro a lot more useful. For now I moved all entries for currently disabled LPEs and the LPE tool itself from POTFILES.in to a newly created POTFILES.ignore so that translators have less problems. Alexandre

Disconnected Arabic Letters on Mac OS X
by Boutros Saba 02 Jun '09

02 Jun '09

Hello Folks, Did anybody check that? I have version 0.46. past versions also fail to do the task, when I install them on my Mac OS X 10.4.11. The letters appear but without being connected. Also, when I try to paste text from outside to Inkscape it copies the Arabic text but it disconnects the letters. Any ideas please? Thanks, Boutros

LPE Effects: Red line
by Tavmjong Bah 01 Jun '09

01 Jun '09

Hi, The editable red line showing the original path in an LPE when the LPE path is selected and the Node tool in use is no longer present in 0.46 +svn. Is this by design or is this a bug? I found it quite useful to be able to manipulate the original path and see the effect on the LPE path. Tav

systemLanguage works, one Tardigrade
by Martin Owens 01 Jun '09

01 Jun '09

Hey guys, I remember surprising some of the old Inkscape devs when I confirmed that the systemLanguage attribute does in fact work with Inkscape. (one language at a time). Today I created an svg to sent to a friend who does translations, with notes on what parts of the svg do what. I tested it in eog, Firefox and Inkscape. Inkscape's only bug was that it didn't take into account language variations. So en_GB would show up for en_US in a switch. Eye of Gnome on the other hand did the variations correctly but failed to not render tags with incorrect languages outside of switch tags. Firefox was a complete bust, everything is always English, suspect it doesn't listen to the LANG environment variable. http://divajutta.com/doctormo/multi-lang.svg Best Regards, Martin Owens
