Inkscape Website: Attack and Spam
by unknown＠example.com 16 Jul '18

16 Jul '18

Dear developers, I've just now been alerted to some activity on our webserver py1. Email bounces from users started arriving to me (the webmaster) and I quickly tried to gather information about what kind of event we had. One of the bounces contained headers showing the emails were coming from our server. I have thus shut down postfix on py1 as a precaution, the website will be unable to send email for the time being. I've been digging through the logs to find out what kind of issue we have: * A service ticket has been created for OSUOSL to investigate * None of the email addresses appear in our user accounts list, so our database is unlikely to have been compromised. * There's been an sshd attack against the server today from 3:12am to 18:23pm but no actual signs of a break in. * Email appear at 18:53, unknown quantity (more than 40), logs do not report quantity at this time. So it might be something pretending to be py1 to osuosl's smtp server. I'll reply here when I know more, although I probably won't hear back from osuosl until tomorrow. Best regards, Martin Owens

Yesterday was SMIL and today is Mesh Gradients
by Victor Westmann 16 Jul '18

16 Jul '18

Hi fellow inkscapers, I was amazed to read that inkscape already has Mesh Gradients (since version 0.92) just like Adobe Illustrator. Illustrator got this exact same feature in the version 8 (released in 1998). 20 years ago. But it seems that Mesh Gradients will be removed from the SVG 2.0 specification. My question is WHY? That made me really sad and wondering: isn't there anything we can do to prevent that from happening? Can we make a petition or talk to Mozilla/Chrome/Opera/Vivaldi browser so they can implement this and this feature, as soon as it gets traction, to be kept in the 2.0 spec of SVG technology? Ideas anyone? Is this too unrealistic or we can do something about it? I remember google chrome almost removed SMIL feature from Google Chrome but then the feature got traction and started being used more and more... so they kept it.

Website Testing (upgrades)
by unknown＠example.com 15 Jul '18

15 Jul '18

Dear Devlopers and Users, The Inkscape Website is going through some upgrades, from python 2.7 to python 3.5 and from django 1.8 to django 1.11. There's a pile of other upgrades since I rebuilt the dependencies from scratch, but these are the main ones. I've deployed the new version to http://inkscape.sandcats.io:8091/en/ and I encourage people to hit the website and test functionality. Try different things and feel free to report issues to the inkscape-webgitlab issues tracker if you can (to keep the mailing list clear) but if you can't issues track, then fallback to emailing here. When ready, we'll hopefully be deploying this new version to a new server too, so it's all moving hopefully forwards. Thanks for your help everyone. Best Regards, Martin Owens Inkscape Website Developer

Kiel Hackfest
by Tavmjong Bah 09 Jul '18

09 Jul '18

Hi Inkscaper's, We'll be holding a hackfest in Kiel, Germany in September (Sun, 2018- 09-09 through Thu, 2018-09-13). All members of the Inkscape community are encouraged to attend.[1] We already have 13 people signed up! If you are interested in attending, please add your name to the Attendees web page.[2] We're handling financial support a bit different this time. The board has decided to reimburse travel expenses up to $2000 per person with no specific requirement on number of commits and length of community participation. However, the board will need to include your name in a vote so you will need to sign up before the meeting. Also, SFC travel policy requires you to book airline/train tickets at least two weeks in advance.[3] Looking forward to seeing you there!

Re: [Inkscape-devel] Inkscape-devel Digest, Vol 146, Issue 15

Hi folks. Sorry to go meta, but I'm seeing something weird with the mailing list. I'm subscribed in digest mode, but it seems to be sending every message immediately in a single digest, sometimes just one or two minutes apart. Ideas?

New tools for team communication
by Marién Soria 04 Jul '18

04 Jul '18

Hi everyone! I'm very active this weekend. Sorry about it! Mihaela: Gitlab is great for collaborate with code but it's not for graphic design process. I have find and interesting app that can help us, it has an unlimited free plan. We can share mockups and leave feedback. It has 3 differents role types and you can see files like a guest. Take a look to an example board that I create for testing. https://app.conceptboard.com/board/58go-o3n8-iz3g-n7us-4roc ------- Have you disscused the possibility of migrate these comunications to a most friendly environment like Slack or RocketChat? So we can use @mentions or divide conversations by topic or silence notifications, etc.
