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.
- What did you work on during the Kiel hackfest?
Fixed some bugs in and answered questions on the new Extensions repository, moved it to a sub-module. Talked about a new design for layers/objects/selectors. Worked heavily on refactoring the XML Editor, lots of cleanup and learning about signals.
- What do you consider the best benefit to being at the Kiel
hackfest this year?
The people. So many smart and inspirational contributors to Inkscape who can motivate and really feel like we're all working for a common goal.
- What were the most fun things or things you most enjoyed about the
hackfest?
Trying to catch wasps at lunch. We failed. I actually got stung by a wasp yesterday gardening, I think they wanted revenge.
- Did your hackfest activities extend beyond the hackfest?
Me and my room shares were all lying in our beds typing away for far too long. But we also talked a lot about various problems and solutions while walking or doing other things.
- Did the hackfest increase your motivation to work on the Inkscape
project?
Yes.
- Anything else you'd like to include. :)
Nope.
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.
Thanks Chris, I'm really excited to get a news article released for all our donators and other contributors to read what we were up to and see the videos.
Best Regards, Martin Owens
