Hi Carl,
welcome - great to have you here :D
Looks like you've already made good use of Inkscape in the FLOSS community :)
I've also helped young students (7 - 10 years old) get interested in computers (not videogames) with Inkscape and the HeathenX tutorials. A couple of the students are pretty good.
I'm looking forward to your contributions - oh, hey, you already proofread the first chapter (... *adds Carl to the About page*)!
Yes, I proofed it and made some changes. I did not read the styles manual first, so it might not be exactly correct.
I can be too picky some times; it's okay to suggest that I settle down. It's not bad; I just want things to be right.

My name is Carl Symons from US-Washington State, Bellingham.
Bellingham is th home of linuxfestnorthwest.org. For several years, I was one of the organizers and did a lot of pieces with Inkscape. On the main page, you can see the iconic LFNW Totem. Originally created in hardcopy with poster paint. I converted it to Inkscape SVG, used for many things including the large version seen on www.linuxfestnorthwest.org/2017/sponsors/world-famous-lfnw-raffle. While you're there, have a look at the World Famous Raffle sign thaht I also also created in Inkscape. Despite creating these, it's easy to imagine what Inkscape is like for someone just getting started...I'm not very skilled, but I have fun.
For several years, worked on KDE news (dot.kde.org), writing (dot.kde.org/2012/10/15/plasma-active-3-improves-performance-brings-new-ap ps) and editing almost every piece for a couple of years (2010 - 2012)
I'll assist with editing and proofreading as needed.
Carl
