Website: Update to "Getting started" page
by Patrick Storz 27 Feb '20

27 Feb '20

Hi all, I just re-factored the section "Building Inkscape on Linux" on the page https://inkscape.org/develop/getting-started/ a bit in case you want to update translations. (Note especially the pre-formatted texts - it's probably best to cpy&paste them verbatim) @Maren There is not incidentally a plugin or something that would re-use the same pre-formatted text in all language versions, so changes are propagated automatically? Cheers, Patrick

Fwd: LGM Hackfest in Rennes, France
by Maren Hachmann 22 Feb '20

22 Feb '20

Forwarding an invitation from Marc: ----------------------------------- Hi everyone, we will likely have our next hackfest in Rennes, France, just before LGM in May. LGM is May 26-29 and it's likely the hackfest will last for a few days before it (last hackfests lasted from 3 to 5 days). All contributors* are welcome and encouraged to attend the hackfest! Financial support will be available, but please sign up in advance (either by answering to this email, or by adding yourself on https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php?title=Hackfest2020_Rennes_Attendees ), to account for possible limited hosting capacity and to allow expense (and logistics) planning. I hope to see lots of you there -- Marc (* not just code, a hackfest can be a productive time to write a tutorial, discuss some UX, progress on a translation, or coordinate some media outreach, for instance!)

Hi again, Website Translators, we've just posted two new news articles on the website: The first one is about Valentin Ionita's Google Summer of Code experience: article: https://inkscape.org/news/2020/02/21/valentin-wrangled-meshes-hatches-and-g… It may be a bit difficult to translate due to some technical language. Let us know if there's anything you need an explanation for. The second one is for the GSOC itself: article: https://inkscape.org/news/2020/02/21/come-gsoc-code-experience-stay-os-coll… Please help us by translating these to your language! (and if someone has some time to translate to German, that would be great, too) Kind Regards, Maren

Hi everyone, we've got two news articles that are awaiting your translation: https://inkscape.org/news/2019/12/02/community-chooses-top-5-finalists-vers… https://inkscape.org/news/2020/02/11/inkscape-brings-enjoyment-and-freedom-… The first one is actually a bit older - I forgot to pass the info on to you, sorry about that :-( (a Brazilian Portuguese translator still found it and has already translated it). Thanks for your help! Kind Regards Maren
