Incluir função
by Simeão Marchiori 05 Apr '19

05 Apr '19

Olá amigos, sinto muito orgulho de ser usuario do inkscape, gostaria de poder ajudar dando uma dica. Percebi na novas versões do Inkscape a função de atração automática, uma boa ferramenta boa para gráficos, mas como eu faço desenhos artisticos, essa ferramenta, acaba dificultando o rendimento, por isso seria muito bom incluir um modo de desativar essa função. um grande abraço a todos.

call for volunteer moderators, new forum, next steps
by brynn 05 Apr '19

05 Apr '19

Hi Friends, I posted messages in the forums last week, but I just realized I didn't post on the mailing lists. Since the Rules and Guidelines are essentially finished, the next step is to select moderators for the new forum. If anyone is interested in helping to moderate, please contact me. You can reply to this message on the list, or you're welcome to contact me privately, if you prefer. The Rules section of the Rules and Guidelines explains what the job of a moderator is. I think it will eventually appear on a new Forum Team on the website's Teams page, but it's not there yet. Meanwhile, it's here: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/vectors/content/blob/master/articles/Forum%20Ru… Not the meeting coming up this weekend, but next month's (May) meeting of the Vectors team, we'll be discussing plans for an opening of the new forum. At the moment, I'm thinking a month or 2 after the next hackfest would be good for the opening. The hackfest is end of May/beginning of June, so maybe July/August would be good for the forum opening? That's just a very rough guess at this point, and we'll finalize that at the May meeting. All best, brynn

Details for Project Refactoring
by Syed Shaharyaar Hussain 02 Apr '19

02 Apr '19

Hi I am interested in "Project Refactoring" being mentored by Tavmjong Bah, I have read about it at wiki.inkscape.org <http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Google_Summer_of_Code#P6._Refactori…>. However, I would like to know further details so that I can make my work distribution timeline for GSoC. Like what code needs to be converted into C++ and what not. Which directories are needed to be refactored and which not, etc. Is it purely developer's choice to refactor what he/she wants, or mentor/developer team will tell what things are to be refactored? Just as an Update : --> Working on "WIP Created canvas, drawing and common directories inside src/display" on gitlab. --> Understanding Inkscape Directory Heirarchy and Structure Best Regards Shaharyaar

Bug Migration Effort Kickoff
by Bryce Harrington 01 Apr '19

01 Apr '19

The Great Inkscape Bug Migration is ready to start! Please join us in moving Inkscape's bug reports from Launchpad to Gitlab. We're making a game out of it! Details on how to migrate bugs are available at this page: http://alpha.inkscape.org/bug-migration/ Thanks go to Terry Brown and Chris Rogers for setting this up. The tools allow tracking the bug migration effort, and gamify it using a leaderboard and randomly discoverable "Special Bugs". Those who gain enough points to reach different levels will be mailed Medal Stickers after the event, and the top three highest scorers will be acknowledged with special prizes. The outcome of this work will be good, well-described bug reports in our new bug tracker on Gitlab, thus making developers' lives easier as they work to resolve them. Our hope is that enough of the still-valid bugs get moved from Launchpad that we can shut down the old bug tracker entirely. Your work will help advance us towards this objective. Why not give a shot at migrating a bug or two yourself? Can you make it to Bronze Level? :-) Bryce On Sat, Nov 03, 2018 at 10:25:05AM -0700, Bryce Harrington wrote: > Hi all, > > I've got a little scripting project for someone interested in exercising > their python skills for Inkscape over the next couple weeks.

forum guidelines/rules 2nd draft review
by brynn 31 Mar '19

31 Mar '19

Hi again, I made the edits requested from the first review. And those gave me some other thoughts. I added a couple of new "wrinkles" to the prerequisites for moderator section, and for the duties and responsibilities. For the change in prerequisites, I thought it couldn't hurt to encourage wider participation in the community, just by adding that language, but it's not a strict prerequisite. For duties and responsibilities, the ability for a moderator to choose what they want to moderate is already allowed for the gallery moderation. So that's not a stretch. The reason for adding it is that it might encourage someone to help out (with approving new messages), if they otherwise didn't want to feel obligated to get involved in a behavior issue. New version: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/vectors/content/blob/master/articles/Forum%20Ru… Thanks again for any comments, suggestions! brynn

Please register for attending LGM
by Maren Hachmann 28 Mar '19

28 Mar '19

Hi all, I just got another message from Aude (who coordinates LGM and provides the space for the Saarbrücken hackfest). She is asking us to register for participation at LGM, so they can more easily plan for the resources they will need (e.g. ordering vegetarian lunch, ordering T-shirts, special needs, ...). Thanks everyone, Maren

GSoC candidate
by Alaa Nousir 26 Mar '19

26 Mar '19

Hello everyone! I'm so excited to introduce myself and interact with the community here and hopefully be a lively contributor to inkscape! First things first, *who am I and why do I want to apply?* I'm a communication and information engineering undergraduate student in Zewail City, Egypt. I also happen to be a freelance artist who likes to explore new art programs along the way. I'm in my 3rd year in engineering, and I have taken a strong Object-Oriented programming course in C++ last year and data structures and algorithms course this year. The final project for the C++ course was to add features to a paint program! It was an incredibly beneficial and fun experience. Some of the features were resizing, creating new shapes, redoing, undoing, and other similar tasks. Whenever I'm not learning anything new (through online courses or university courses), I invest time to enhance my artistic skills. I was skimming through the projects available to apply for in GSoC and I found inkscape. I was immediately hooked. It's perfect in every possible way! I'm already familiar with manipulating objects in GUIs, I have a strong passion for art, I'm experienced enough to know what the user would want to see available while drawing and I'm skilled in coding! *What have I accomplished so far from the tasks listed in the GSoC website?*I have already built and run the project, and I have chosen to work on P3. slice Items. I believe I have what it takes to contribute. I'm currently creating some artworks to upload on the website and formulating a rigid timeline to follow for the project I chose. *Inquiries: Regarding the submission of a drawing I have made task, I was wondering where exactly should I submit it. Would it be enough to just upload it on my inkscape profile and attach the link to my application? * *Also, where should I submit my inkscape application exactly?* Thank you for your time.
