Hi team, it’s time for me to request access to the Wiki so I can put some documentation there, beginning with writing up an introduction/instructions for testing the macOS alpha. Cheers, René (RdH on RocketChat)

Git master
by Diederik van Lierop 01 May '19

01 May '19

Hi, Did I just mess up the master branch? When I look at the latest merge https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/commit/7dd5c6f7f9d6d07517e7933fd43b46b… I see deltas which I cannot explain. I only used git add, git commit, git pull, and git push. I thought I understood what was written here https://inkscape.org/develop/inkscape-git/... Best regards, Diederik

Hackfest Saarbrücken LGM: Reminder
by Maren Hachmann 29 Apr '19

29 Apr '19

Hi Inkscapers, this is a reminder to book your flights, trains, hotel room etc. for the Saarbrücken Hackfest as soon as possible, if you haven't yet! If you are approved and plan to ask for reimbursement, remember to abide by Software Freedom Conservancy's Travel Policy: https://sfconservancy.org/projects/policies/conservancy-travel-policy.html Also please enter yourself and (at least) the dates you will attend into the table at http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Hackfest2019_Saarbr%C3%BCcken_Atten… I need to report the number of attendees for the Hackfest at k8 in two weeks - everyone who is not on the list by then risks to have to work from their hotel room ;-) (probably not really...). Also, if you will attend LGM, too, please register on their website! The schedule for the pre-event, where Inkscape will have a booth, on May 29 is available here (scroll down, in German): https://opensaar.de/2019/04/libre-graphis-meeting-in-saarbruecken/ If anyone wants to support Mihaela and Marc at the booth, please add your name to the list here: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Hackfest2019_Saarbr%C3%BCcken#May.2… On another note: the hackfest stickers are ready: https://chat.inkscape.org/channel/team_vectors?msg=NHW5ZY2mPiHrk2YEJ The rollup display arrived today, but it needs to acclimatize before it's rolled out, so I can't show it yet. Regards, Maren

Critical bug on Fedora 30 / Ubuntu 18.04 when using Wayland
by Diederik van Lierop 27 Apr '19

27 Apr '19

Hello everyone, Inkscape 1.0a isn't usable at all for me at the moment on Linux when running it under Wayland; it appears to be missing most of the mouse events or something. I cannot draw even the simplest geometry! I haven't figured out how to make a screencast that shows the mousepointer, but maybe that's another Wayland issue ;-). Can't show it to you because of this, but it's really bad. I don't recall any reports about this and cannot find anything in the Gitlab issues either, but surely others must be experiencing this too... Unless everyone else is still on Xorg. I've reproduced this on both Fedora 30, with current trunk, as well as on Ubuntu Gnome 18.04.2, using the inkscape-trunk PPA. When I use Xorg, the problem disappears, on both distros. This is rather problematic though, because all (?) linux distros that have gnome also have Wayland enabled by default these days. Any pointers? A bug report maybe? Otherwise I will file one myself, and start some debugging. Best regards, Diederik

Want to help maintain build for Homebrew, Mojave
by Jon Wong 24 Apr '19

24 Apr '19

Hi, Can someone guide me to acquire the ability to compile for Mojave using Homebrew’s paths and dependencies? I would like to help maintain the build for Homebrew. Would also like to help maintain the build for MacOS in general, in case you also need help for MacPorts. By the way, Inkscape 0.92.2 (the last build for Homebrew) does not work with Mojave. https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/issues/62404 Regards Inc

Cheers from Donors
by Bryce Harrington 24 Apr '19

24 Apr '19

I wanted to share a little side project I've been doing for fun... Our Paypal link includes a memo field, which Inkscape's donors have used to say some very nice things over the years, that deserve to be shared with you all: http://alpha.inkscape.org/cheers/ This is a simple applet to cycle through the non-blank donation memos, from today backwards. It refreshes daily, although Paypal processing adds a few days lag so it's not up to the minute. For those of a more technical bent, the full data is at http://alpha.inkscape.org/cheers/cheers.json. I'm posting that in the open in hopes it can get integrated and used in other places; no changes are planned for the data file format, so consider that stable. The code itself for the React.js applet I've stuck on github here: https://github.com/bryceharrington/cheers-carousel I'd like to improve the styling a bit, but otherwise am done with this for now. Eventually this is going to be integrating into other finance displaying scripts I'm working on... but that'll be news for some other day. Enjoy! Bryce

Inkscape - Release status for 1.0 beta
by Bryce Harrington 24 Apr '19

24 Apr '19

Hi all, tldr; - Just an update on my earlier email on release status. We're still on pause waiting on blocker bugs, no ETA for release dates yet. Progress is getting made. There is a lot of good activity going in by RdH, NPJ2000 and others to get the Mac OS native packaging established. Some of that work has landed already, and screenshots are starting to get passed around. * https://chat.inkscape.org/file-upload/gPrPtAHfZDnA39yDK/extensions.png Of the two blocker bugs we're tracking, the test rendering offset bug (#45 in inkscape's gitlab) is well understood now and is down to figuring out the right form of fix, and the extensions bug (#156) has been progressing nicely, although I don't know the exact status at the moment. We have 17 open bugs milestoned to 1.0: * https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/issues?milestone_title=1.0 Ideally we'd drive this list down to zero by release, although if we can close the two Critical bugs and most of the High priority bugs we should be in decent enough shape. I've been thumbing through other bug reports, crash bugs in particular. There's a lot, but thankfully most are not things ordinary users are going to run into, as they tend to be a bit obscure. But obviously, the more of these we can resolve before final release, the better. Please devote some of your time to looking at bugs, even if you're not a programmer you can do analysis and testing which can be invaluable. Triaging work is also HIGH VALUE right now, most particularly for tagging bugs and assigning importance levels to all bugs in the main issue tracker. Chris and Maren collected a listing of problems they'd love to see fixed, from an actual product usability point of view: * http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/1.0_Release_Bug_Fix_List These need to be migrated to gitlab, milestoned for 1.0, and set as High priority. Great way to score levels in the bug game, while directly helping towards making the software stronger. So, as to scheduling of the beta release... Since the two blocker bugs are blocking the release process, I think it would not be wise to set any dates just yet. However, I think beta could be released shortly after they're resolved (or no longer considered blockers). Focusing beta on the Mac OS package would be wise, so we can maximize user testing, so I would also include its status in the schedule determination there. Scheduling of release candidates for the final 1.0... June looks pretty unlikely given the work remaining to be done. I'm guessing a late summer release may be more likely, although difficult to predict. Bryce

Introduction - Research on the Inkscape Project
by Srrreal 22 Apr '19

22 Apr '19

Hi all, I am SrrReal, a FOSS enthusiast and Inkscape user. Currently, I am a student researcher (in India) doing social sciences research of digital technologies. I recently began working on a project to explore how the identity of free software communities is shaped by its contributors. As an Inkscape user, I was keen on studying this by closely following the Inkscape community.This work is part of a course on ethnographic research - a type of research in which researchers engage closely with the people involved in the context they are studying, to gain a deep understanding. I am writing to introduce myself (and my research) to the broader community. In the coming weeks, I hope to chat with many of you, who do different things to make Inkscape what it is! I have put together a short survey - https://srrreal.typeform.com/to/dfhjFV as a preliminary step to guide further research. It's got about 2-3 questions and shouldn't take more than 5 minutes. It would be really helpful, if you could fill this out. If you would like to chat about the research in more detail or have questions and suggestions (what to probe, what may be interesting, etc), I'd be happy to discuss that further. Please email me [srrreal@...3637...] or ping on Rocket Chat [@SrrReal]. Or you could indicate your interest in the survey and I'll get in touch with you! Regards, Srravya
