Hey folks.
I'm going to do a writeup of the hackfest to accompany and help finish the video content. If each of the hackfest attendees could answer these questions for me, I'll combine all of it into the hackfest summary.
1. What did you work on during the Kiel hackfest?
Setup a development for compiling inkscape myself.
Research into API options for better connecting extensions.
Fixing issues and merging patches with my paths2openscad (3D printer stuff) extension centerline extension.
Helped Marc to bring a centerline trace (based on autotrace) into inkscape.
Created fancy 3D-printed templates with with Chris, featuring the inkscape and kitz logo to improve our coffee experience. (Aeh, and testdrive updated extensions of course)
2. What do you consider the best benefit to being at the Kiel hackfest this year?
Once of a sudden inkscape consists of nice and helpful people! Connected faces with names and topics. Before that was just some anonymous mass for me.
3. What were the most fun things or things you most enjoyed about the hackfest?
The horrified looks when I killed the first wasp during lunch -- followed by the wee attempts to catch and carry away wasps later.
4. Did your hackfest activities extend beyond the hackfest?
Most of the things we started during the hackfest got really finished. Will followup at least on the API-1.0 specification.
5. Did the hackfest increase your motivation to work on the Inkscape project?
I'd work fulltime on inkscape, if there weren't my employer who wants to pay me for other stuff.
6. Anything else you'd like to include. :)
I was riding my electric unicycle every day from hotel to kitz and back. That is mostly fun, but some suspense too, when I am in an new city.
Thanks to the Kiel police for looking the other way when I crossed the street in front of their eyes.
Big round of applause to our Host, Tourist Guide, Organizer and general go-to-person Maren!
Thanks for your comments. I'll begin posting video content this week, (3-4 videos in total), witht he goal of releasing the hackfest summary first, so the sooner everyone responds to this information, the sooner I can put it together with some accompanying photos into a complete summary.
Thanks for you help, and it was super cool to be able to hang out with all of you. Last week.
