My personal FOSS swag manifesto
by C R 06 Aug '18

06 Aug '18

Okay, so in the wake of our push to get some Inkscape swag going for the project, I've been pushed from multiple angles to start doing some of this myself. My reasons for considering this part-time, then move to full time if it's successful are as follows: 1. *Ongoing Work* - Since I'm considering new options for work, I want to do something where my day to day work can benefit FOSS projects, and I have all the necessary skills to do this - I'm basically a one-stop shop for graphics and media of any kind, so why not actually BE a shop for FOSS swag? 2. *More Benefit to Projects* - Many of the options available for free online shops fall short in that they present too high a cost for single orders with not enough percentage going towards the project. Becoming the supply chain allows me to save cost on bulk orders and maximise profits to get the most project benefits out of the sales. 3. *Quality Control -* I can ensure the quality of the products produced, because I can select which companies I buy from, vetting for quality. It's shocking how many companies produce total crap (even popular ones, like spreadshirt). Quality and customer satisfaction matter a lot to me. Especially when representing various FOSS projects, the quality of the materials will speak to quality of what's being represented, and all too often I see stickers printed off of home printers using graphics that were more or less tossed together from online clipart. The reason for this is usually that nothing else was available. I want to be a solution to this problem. 4. *Supporting a FOSS-driven Industry* - I really, really don't want to have to go back to using closed source graphics applications. :) And that's probably what will happen if I don't start something myself. I want to continue to be able to use Inkscape, and GIMP, and Krita, etc. in my production work so I can continue to help with bug reports, and UX suggestions. It's a big part of my job satisfaction to be able to help in this way. 5. *Supporting FOSS designers* - I eventually want to be able to employ other designers who use FOSS to build up the industry use of FOSS. We've got a long way to go to catch up, and the more designers using FOSS, the greater our say in what becomes standard for the industry. It's my experience that FOSS benefits both artists and companies that hire design work, as the overhead cost for creating and using FOSS graphic assets is zero, and thus can be used perpetually at no cost to either party. 6. *Brain Tickles -* It tickles something in my mind to think of people using and handing out stickers for FOSS projects. I've designed lots of products over the last 10 years, and I've seen people all around London using them. It's a great feeling, but lacks the satisfaction of seeing people enjoying FOSS and spreading the joy to others, and I find just showing someone tricks in Inkscape gives me a much more lasting thrill. So why not have both? Yes, I want to have my cake and eat it too, and share it as well! So these are my goals, but I do want to hear your opinions on it too. Thanks for listening, and for all the support and encouragement I've received from people inside and outside the project. :) -C

Re: [Inkscape-devel] [Gimp-developer] GIMP t-shirts?
by Gabor Kum 03 Aug '18

Hello Inkscape Devs, C. Rogers wrote me that you are searching for a solution for the Inkscape merchandise. We produce embroidered shirts for free software projects exclusively, so we can help with this. Here is how we work: https://www.hellotux.com/for_developers.php By the way, we are experimenting with InkStitch (https://inkstitch.org/) now, so it's possible that we will use Inkscape to design embroidery. We used it to produce only the first part of the work until now. Best regards, Gabor KUM owner of HELLOTUX https://www.hellotux.com 2018-08-02 12:03 keltezéssel, C R írta: > Can't speak for the GIMP project, but shoot an email to the > inkscape-devel mailing list.

voting in gitlab merge request automatically subscribes to it
by brynn 31 Jul '18

31 Jul '18

Hi Friends, I recently clicked the thumb up/down icon in gitlab merge request, responding to a mailing list message, which asked for a simple vote. And suddenly email is pouring in! I finally found how to unsubscribe, but the checkbox for it is in a separate panel on the right side of the page, which scrolls separately from the main window. Since the checkbox is below the first page, and the panel scrolls separately, and the panel does not even have a scrollbar, it was hard to find. (had to zoom out) Anyway, I've searched through all the personal settings I can find, without success. Is there some way not to subscribe to something by simply voting, and I just didn't find it? If there's no way to change my personal settings, I wanted to ask if it would be possible to globally disable subscribing to the thing (merge request, issue, whatever) by simply voting. Thanks, brynn

inkscape-trunk broken, icons missing, causing inkscape to crash on loading projects.
by C R 30 Jul '18

30 Jul '18

It just crashes. Is there some reason the icon stuff was merged in a half-finished state with trunk? It's broken everything, even if you open Inkscape without loading a project, half the icons are now missing, and it's unusable. Having to revert to old Inkscape for the time being, which is an uber pain. Also wanted to do some bug reporting this weekend, but am having to put that off too. Thanks for any advice. -C
