Hey all,
Some basic notes for our developer meeting today:
Attending: Martin, Chris Rogers, imv, Jabiertxof, Johnathan, Marc, MikeKov, René, Tav
Feature freeze - We're now in freeze, but there are a couple of branches close to being merged - Are we supporting old OS versions? - Debian 10 too old? Ubuntu LTS? Remove RedHat and centOS. Team testing organising restarting the team with Chris Rogers and KrIr17
Martin has worked on the PDF Refactoring branch is ready to merge Tav has been spending time fixing the vertical glyphs pango problem. Marc asks, have we tested the latest cairo version 1.17.8? René is close behind and will see the issues first. Cairo removed auto tools and the unmaintained GL backend.
Johnathan
Last week we found our contractor Nico, the SFC are at FOSSDEM so were not available to finalise the hiring process. Everything is documented in the wiki.
Johnathan was at FOSSDEM too, talked to Penpot who were involved with https://rethinkscape.netlify.app/%C2%A0they use inkscape for their branding and Johnathan talked to them about SVG support in browsers. Spoke with the document foundation too about their support for old file formats.
We can think about where to get money from. Spoke with the FSFE and other about what kind of public money is available. The consensus is that it's usually available but needs to be applied for. i.e. NLNet which is usually for individuals.
There's a growing call for collabrative editing. Talking to Collabera, XMPP and others about these features.
Gtk4 migration is a project we need to focus on and we could contract someone to push it forwards and get us on the right track. A Peer project involving one internal experienced inkscape programmer and an external person who knows Gtk4 well. What do people think about this, is this something we should put time into organising? The project would be conducted over the summer. The selection processes, what the scope of the project is etc.
Rene / Hackfest
René will have a meeting with pono to sort out transport costs. Chris will contact ted about possibly needing extra funding for more expensive flights for people in the USA. René is telling the host we will be 10 people. Meetings to be conducted this week to finialise everything.
GitLab at FOSSDEM, credit card requirement, new contributors should email contributors at gitlab.com and people will be manually validated which will allow people to use the CI builder. We need to confirm the exact details for this process.
