Inkscape LiveAnimate plugin or Fork
by openInvent 25 Jan '18

25 Jan '18

I want to know how simple it would be to disable the GUI and mouse cursor on hot key press to draw directly to screen for Desktop cam live animations. Also want to set move group functionality to wasd , arrow keys or numpad to control 3 things at once. Or use mouse to move and possible mouse wheel to zoom or snap to splines pathings and mouse wheel tweening. Any ideas on how much work this feature would be? I can fork over 50USD if someone FORKS the Inkscape. For LiveAnimate. Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com) Secure Email.

Hey everyone. Working on the sticker for the Boston hackfest. Did we ever get confirmation on the location? The page still says, RedHat Boston Office, but did we ever confirm? I'd like to include the location on the swag stickers. Thanks! -C

I thought for sure I had asked and already received rights to edit our wiki, but apparently not. Will someone grant me access to edit wiki.inkscape.org? -- Ryan Gorley Founder + Creative Director https://dijt.co

Turning off gitlab's "Allow users to request access"?
by Bryce Harrington 15 Jan '18

15 Jan '18

There's a setting "Allow users to request access" on our Inkscape main group (https://gitlab.com/inkscape). I'd like to switch it to 'off'. Are there any objections if I did this? This setting adds a button to our website for logged in users to push to send an email to our admins asking for membership to the inkscape main group. The effect of this gives them commit access on the inkscape repo (and I suspect maybe other git repos in subgroups; I'm not sure how the permissions propagate.) This was useful initially when everyone was needing gitlab access, but I think all the existing committers that want it have it. These days the requests we're getting are mostly from people with no registered activity related to Inkscape; we've been getting a handful of these invalid requests each month. Maybe they're clicking it on accident, or thinking that it's an affiliation mark, and not realizing that it gives full commit rights if granted. Turning it off simply removes the button, it wouldn't mean any change to our existing policies regarding earning of commit rights - applicants still need to get two patches reviewed, accepted, and landed and then contact one of the administrators to request access. (If we want to make this simpler later on, maybe one day we can rig up a form where they can enter the SHAs of their two patches.) Bryce

Hackfest swag
by C R 15 Jan '18

15 Jan '18

Thinking of doing another set of medallions for the Boston and LGM hackfests. My questions: 1. Do people like the metal / engraved ones, or would stickers be better? 2. Do people like them personalised like last year, or would you rather just have generic ones that all attendees get? 3. Do we want another order of (slightly larger) generic inkscape stickers to hand out at these events (especially LGM seems like a great place to hand them out). 4. Anything else?

Gitlab access
by Gord Caswell 14 Jan '18

Hi Folks, It's fitting to receive an email a moment ago stating my request for access was denied, considering the discussion of turning off the access button. However, I'd like to request access via the mailing list now, and I'll gladly include commit SHAs. Here's my commits: 6795b8ce (via Launchpad) 572d1a9d Thanks.

how to update an Inkscape repository
by alvinpenner 13 Jan '18

13 Jan '18

about 6 months ago I created a fork of the inkscape code at: https://gitlab.com/alvinpenner/inkscape 1. now that is obsolete, and I would like to sync it with current Inkscape to bring it uptodate. Is there a button for this? 2. alternatively, I would like to delete the repository and start over. Can I delete it? 3. also, the original Fork button that I used appears to be gone, is it still possible to fork code? sorry about the numerous questions, but I just spent 2 hours searching for these things and cannot find them, the gitlab website seems to have been redesigned since I last used it.

Hackfests 2018
by Tavmjong Bah 11 Jan '18

11 Jan '18

Hi All, We will are planning two hackfests in the next few months. The first will be in Boston March 26th through 30th. This is our main hackfest for the year. It will take place at the RedHat office at 300 A Street (easily accessible by pubic transport). A formal vote by the Inkscape board to fund travel to this hackfest has not yet taken place but it is envisioned that travel support will be the same as for last years Paris hackfest. A second mini-hackfest is tentatively planned be held in conjunction with the LGM meeting in Seville, Spain April 26th through April 30th. Details are still to be worked out. Google may be providing some support for travel to LGM. They are interested in adding Variable Font support to Inkscape. The Inkscape board has discussed funding travel for Inkscape developers to this hackfest up to a limit of half that for the main hackfest. Details for the hackfests can be found on the Inkscape wiki at: Boston: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Hackfest2018 Seville: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Hackfest2018_LGM What we need from you: If you are interested in attending either hackfest, please add your name to the list of attendees on the wiki: Boston: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Hackfest2018_Attendees Seville: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Hackfest2018_LGM_Atten dees If you have topics you wish to discuss or work on at the hackfest, please add them to: Boston: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Hackfest2018_Topics Seville: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Hackfest2018_LGM_Topic s Tav

Inkscape is SVG
by Martin Owens 04 Jan '18

04 Jan '18

Hello Inkscape-makers, I found this ammusing, while searching for "CM350 brother inkscape" in google, google sometimes searches for synonymous terms. In this search is adds 'SVG' as a synonym for Inkscape. So google things Inkscape IS the same thing as SVG. That's a super cool position to be in, in an odd kind of way. Because it says that googles black box thinks that the pinnacle of SVG, the exemplar, the practical reference for the standard IS Inkscape. OK, back to work. :-) hope everyone had a good new year. Best Regards, Martin Owens
