Some very nice user feedback that I think you'd enjoy reading, from this forum thread: http://www.inkscapeforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=32905 --------------- New to Inkscape, very thankful about it by ken » Fri Sep 08, 2017 3:22 pm I would like to praise the creators and maintainers of Inkscape, and the Inkscape community as well, for the great free software you all brought to reality. I'm still learning many things about Inkscape, I started using it some days ago, I needed a free option because of my budget, and I found in Inkscape a great alternative. It is far above my expectations, and many times, when I find something new and useful in it, I get impressed with the quality of your work, and I feel thankful for having such a good and useful software for free. Thank you very much, I hope I can retribute your efforts. --------------- Maren

[karen@...3057...: Conservancy mini-conf around FOSDEM]
by Bryce Harrington 05 Sep '17

Let me know if you'd be interested in attending this event in Brussels to represent Inkscape. Bryce ----- Forwarded message from Karen Sandler <karen@...3057...> ----- Date: Tue, 05 Sep 2017 14:50:17 -0400 From: Karen Sandler <karen@...3057...> To: Project Reps <project-reps@...3057...> Cc: Staff <staff@...3057...> Subject: Conservancy mini-conf around FOSDEM Reply-To: karen@...3057... Hi project reps! We're strongly considering holding a Conservancy mini-conference around this coming FOSDEM, which has been announced for February 3rd and 4th in Brussels. We've often been asked over the years to organize an event like this and in addition struggle during FOSDEM to find the time to meet with everyone who wants to meet with us. Would you mind surveying key participants in your project to see if they are planning to attend FOSDEM, if they would be interested in such a meeting and, if so, whether the Friday before or Monday after FOSDEM would be more convenient for them? We've got a lot of projects in Conservancy now, so please let us know what you find out off-list :) thanks! karen Karen M.

Be careful with icons
by C R 05 Sep '17

05 Sep '17

Right-Click > Image Properties currently fails to bring up Object Attributes dialogue in trunk. This is because of a missing icon dialog-object-attributes.svg Just a reminder that mucking with the icons can break Inkscape functionality. Thanks. -C

x86 MSI installer detected as a malware
by Daniel Berteaud 04 Sep '17

04 Sep '17

Hi. Since 0.92.2, a few antivirus programs detects the x86 MSI installer as a malware (Avast, Sophos and AVG see the Other:Malware-gen signature). See https://www.virustotal.com/#/file/665507b85422f25350736b8b47a50931521bc7e2b… for details The x64 MSI is not affected. This is most likely a false positive, but as the file is quite big, I cannot submit it to Avast as such for example. Anyway, I think you might be interested in knowing this. Not sure what can be done. Cheers, Daniel -- Logo FWS *Daniel Berteaud* FIREWALL-SERVICES SAS.
