Hello Inkscape Community,
I proposed at the irc board meeting my participation on the hack fest. I introduce myself as a dev and a user whose bug reports usually have a patch ready.
I can do a talk "How we use inkscape to drive our CNC machine" and the gotchas that came up: http://chris.rudorff.com/Plotter/IMG_20170214_165918604.jpg
This is a 1.4x10.5m vacuum desk with pen + laser tool. It cuts panels for sail making. It was build 1985 and survived more than computer system (WannaCry? WannaLaught!): http://chris.rudorff.com/Plotter/IMG_20170127_180750123.jpg
So we hit the 1% zoom limit of inkscape ;)
Beside the bugs I already fixed in inkscape I found more issues: memory leaks and performance eater. Top on my todo is the dxf importer. I hacked it for our needs but this extension can use a rewrite I can do.
My travel is not that far but I can use some funding for staying/hotel/sofa.
So I am looking forward meeting the people behind inkscape ;)
