Re: [Inkscape-devel] Inkscape liveAnimate idea

Hey all someone told me a way to view same document at different zoom levels using the window duplicate function. I was able to use it somewhat but in ubuntu the window doesnt stay on top some times or it isnt dockable. Also I used the tutorial files from help and I was trying to LIVE ANIMATE that file using vokoscreen that comes with ubuntu studio... And It was very laggy on my slow pc running off 2GB RAM and a Live DVD. I really think with a RAID 0 of 10k Hard Drives it would be fine. Anyways I am kinda suggesting that I be able to dock or split a window. I was liking the horizontal spilt I could move animated objects on lower screen and they would move above in the larger screen without the cursor showing. I wish I could disable the UI or the cursor with a hotkey and set other hotkeys to affect scale or rotation or like switch layers like press space to swap group file or unhide a top layer etc. Any suggestions? I know Inkscape isnt a animation suite but its simple for little things like a Puppeteer App especially if you can do post production and use a chromakey background. Example like handwriting Words onto a music video etc. It seems that my emails get "lost" you can snail mail me at the address below and I will reply with sticker gifts.(tiny.cc/oisticker) Ember AR Leona 250 S.

Boston hackfest stickers
by C R 19 Feb '18

19 Feb '18

These are modeled after the Paris engraved ones I did last year. This time however, I thought the venue was a better thing to put on the sticker rather than a local tourist attraction, which in this case, no one might actually see. So here it is, the Boston Hackfest sticker sample: https://www.dropbox.com/s/trkgrniaf4g33iz/inkscape_foil_sticker_boston_hack… Any thoughts? Wish it were a famous landmark instead? Lemme know. -C

Some guests for Boston Hackfest
by Máirín Duffy 19 Feb '18

19 Feb '18

Hi, I spoke to Matthias Clasen from the upstream GTK+ project and he has kindly offered to attend the hackfest for a day or two. If there are specific days you think his input would be most valuable, I can pass that on to him. Bill Sanford from our Desktop QA team is, among many other things, responsible for testing Inkscape for our desktop product. He is also interested in attending, and if you have specific questions or things you'd like to hear from him, please let me know. Cheers, ~m

inkscape sticker graphics
by C R 18 Feb '18

Someone asked for the original files to print a set of their own. I've included the sample mockup, flattened vector print layer, 40mm dieline, and some (c) and font information on different layers in the svg. It's here in case someone would like to add it to the inkscape archives, or use it to print their own stickers: https://inkscape.org/en/~C.Rogers/%E2%98%85inkscape-silver-foil-sticker-40mm -C

Who's got access to the Twitter account? If you have access can you announce both Inkscape's GSoC participation and the upcoming Boston hackfest? I've taken care of our G+ account. Thanks, Tav

new moderation procedure?
by brynn 09 Feb '18

09 Feb '18

Hi Friends, This is something which has never been discussed. But recently we've had some images being reported by a regular member, which moderators have approved, and they remain in the gallery. In one case they reported a member. Should we contact a member who reports an image, thank them for helping, and explain our decision, why we decided not to delete the image? In this particular case, I'm thinking we may need to contact him or her, just to try and prevent more unnecessary reports. But in general, I wonder if we should take the time to explain our motivation, since the member is taking the time to help us. (Hah, for these recent reports, maybe I should try to recruit him or her as a moderator....?) Thanks for any comments :-) brynn

Update on Inkscape hosting
by Bryce Harrington 09 Feb '18

09 Feb '18

As many of you already know, we've been looking for sponsors for providing hosting for some of our ancillary services (mailing lists, wiki, forums, et al). I put out a CFP to hosting providers a few months back, and with ample help from Ryan we've received a couple good offers. I'm currently in discussion with the Software Freedom Conservancy to get the legal/administrative bits sorted out, so not everything is 100% nailed down just yet. However that's proceeded to a point that I'm starting to turn attention to the more technical end of things. To refresh your memory, here's the background statement from the CFP: """ We currently have various services hosted at a number of different locations with widely varying administrative capacities. We would like to centralize the administration of these services, such as consolidating them onto one platform. We also want room and flexibility to easily install additional services as we grow. Services high on our priority list to migrate soon include mailing lists, Mattermost, and wiki. Bug tracking, web forum and gitlab are potential secondary priorities. Our Django-based main website may also be worth consolidating at some point in the future. """ Mailing list migration will be the first focus, possibly also with some DNS services. This would finally get us off SourceForge, allowing us to close that down. After that, I'm pretty open to what comes next; we can play it by ear depending on opportunities and manpower availability. If you have something you wish to put time into setting up and/or administrating, contact me to sort out details. While in the CFP I had preferred physical hosting, the virtual hosting provided by the cloud service providers offering sponsorship to us does have some advantage in terms of flexibility - being able to spin up VMs on a per-service basis, or temporary ones for development and testing. One common industry best practice I'd like us to adopt is to switch to use of automated scripts for setting up the systems and services. I.e., using cloud-config to bootstrap the raw VMs, and then something like Ansible or Puppet to do automatic configuration management. We can then consolidate the service setup scripts in a git repository. More on this later. I've added a new "Inkscape Infrastructure" subgroup for holding this configuration management repository. This will be a sysadmin-oriented repository - i.e. more focused on the setup/administrative end, not so much on the data or code. I'll work up some policy/procedure for membership management of this group, for now I'll handle it manually. I'm also going to move our 'credentials' repository into this Inkscape Infrastructure subgroup. Last board meeting we discussed migrating the credentials git repo, so that it's not hosted as a branch of the inkscape codebase (which causes it to take a long time to checkout). So this will implement that change. Bryce
