Dear Inkscape developers and users,
I've been thinking about how best we can host a hackfest for 2020 given all the restrictions. After talking with multiple people, I've decided that the best format for an online hackfest is to have one spread out over the summer.
So may I present to everyone the Summer of Hackfest:
https://gitlab.com/inkscape/vectors/general/-/issues/161
This gitlab issue is just for organising people's preferences, and thoughts. Once I have times confirmed, I'm going to write everything in the regular hackfest wiki page for everyone.
So. The idea here is to take advantage of the online nature of this year's hackfest activity and allow people more breathing room between sessions. Each week I'll be hosting a video chat which you will be free to join and just hang out in and where hopefully some of the important topics will happen once per week. No grueling commitment, no big block of time, just a predictable schedule of lovely inkscape topics which will be publisised to get more people involved than ever before.
Please join me on GitLab to proposed topics and set your preferred times. I'm looking for one topic per week, so that's six topics.
And thanks for your participation.
Best Regards, Martin Owens
