Heya Inkscape Developers,
Following up on an issue that came up a few months ago about code and other uses of LLMs; we at Software Freedom Conservancy have been hearing from member projects that people are asking whether they can submit code to these projects that was generated by large language models (LLMs), sometimes called AI coding assistants. We'd like to better understand the nature of these requests, how much LLM-generated code has been offered to these projects, and generally how you're feeling about the situation.
To do this, we will be holding three different sessions, where you are welcome to join and share your thoughts and any details so far on these types of contributions. The sessions will all be run in the same way with the same topic - we are running three in order to hopefully allow as many people from around the world to attend as possible.
Our Director of Compliance, Denver Gingerich, will be hosting some sessions at the times below for all our member projects to discuss the issue.
date -d "2024-10-29 20:00 UTC" date -d "2024-11-01 14:00 UTC" date -d "2024-11-06 04:00 UTC"
We'll be meeting in this room for the sessions:

We are excited to see some of you there and are looking forward to drafting appropriate recommendations based on what we hear!
Thanks, -Pono
