Hi Developers and Community Members,
we are currently planning to have an Inkscape hackfest in Kiel, in Northern Germany.
It was suggested it could take place this year's autumn/fall already, and I was able to reserve a conference room in a startup center close to the city's university for early September, from Sun, 2018-09-09 until Thu, 2018-09-13.
This will be during the 'Digitale Woche Kiel', a city-wide event week that aims to introduce people to IT and technology, and just before the 'Kieler Open Source und Linux Tage', a local conference with workshops, talks and an exhibition about Linux and Open Source software.
The Inkscape Board has not voted on funding of the event yet.
