Inkscape Office Hours: Summary
by Maren Hachmann 29 Jul '21

29 Jul '21

Hi everyone in the Inkscape Contributor Community, thank you very much to those who had joined us for the first 'Inkscape Office Hours' meeting on July 16th! We had a great time getting to know each other and tossing some ideas around. You all can find the meeting log at https://inkscape.org/paste/28194/ During the meeting, we've all been working on a document together, where we've been collecting ideas for two of the major questions of the Inkscape Board to the community: https://pad.chaotikum.org/p/Inkscape_Office_Hours_1 For those who were not able to attend the live meeting, I will keep the pad open for another week, so you also have a chance to add your ideas there. Please mark your own ideas with the name you go by in the community, and also add a short suggestion about how you could help with making them reality! When the week has passed, I'll package the results up for handing them over to the Inkscape Board, so they can have a look at the feasibility, and we can continue from there. There's no established process for this yet, so we'll just have to try and see where we can get. There's no date set for the next Inkscape Office Hours meeting yet. Do you think this should become a monthly event? Or do you think it should be more frequent or less frequent? Thanks again everyone for your support of Inkscape, Maren

Volunteering Dutch
by M Hout 17 Jul '21

17 Jul '21

Hello, Lately I noticed a lot of content isn't translated into Dutch. I like to volunteer to help. I have some experience in translating wiki pages (https://manual.cgeo.org) and noticed this part isn't translated at all. Of course I'm willing to translate nl.po files too but I think you have already enough people there. Kind regards, Marcia van den Hout aka Linsty Outlook voor Android<https://aka.ms/AAb9ysg> downloaden

We're going to have the meeting at https://chat.inkscape.org/channel/inkscape_board and might move it to audio/video chat, if that seems useful. A link to that will, in that case, be announced in the chat channel.

Invitation: INKSCAPE OFFICE HOURS TODAY!

Hello Inkscape contributors! The Inkscape project has grown so much in the last couple years, and we have teams spread all over the internet, working on improving Inkscape and helping the project and its users. Also, we have lots of exciting new things to decide upon together as the Contributors' Team! For this reason, we've thought of trying out something new to allow every contributor to also contribute their ideas for the future of the project as a whole: The "Inkscape Office Hours"! ============================ The first meeting of this kind will take place on Friday, 16th July (today!) at 5 p.m. UTC (in your timezone: https://inkscape.org/cals/ ) If it is well received and productive, we'll make this a regular thing. We will have members from the Inkscape Board there, and also some of the other people who are most involved with Inkscape matters on a day-to-day basis. And YOU (hopefully)! ------------------ Don't know whether you 'count' as a contributor? Doubts? Well, that's one of the things we'd like to figure out together! We really need to, it's required for voting rights. There's a Board vote pending, because we haven't yet come up with a good definition. We are planning to update our project charter to include more than only developers, as is currently the case. So please come and join us, even if you're unsure whether you 'qualify'! Another important topic is collecting and finding help with ideas for how to spend our donations. The pandemic left us with a lack of opportunities to spend them. They need to be spent in a manner that respects the charitable (non-profit) status of the project (if you didn't know, we're a member project of the Software Freedom Conservancy (SFC)! [1]), and also needs to obey to high standards of honesty and conflict of interest policies. All our ideas will need to be approved of not only the Inkscape Board, but then also by the SFC. You can also bring other topics, as long as they have to do with the Inkscape community as a whole. During the meeting you can get help with implementing those ideas and making them a reality, from people who already understand how the project works. NOTE: this is NOT about any software features / bugs! For those, please use the bug tracker [2]. See you in a few hours (and sorry for the late notice, we hope you can still make it)! Ted, Michèle and Maren [1] https://sfconservancy.org/ [2] https://inkscape.org/report

Website: new news!

Hello everyone! We've recently released a new news article about Inkscape's need for more macOS developers: https://inkscape.org/news/2021/06/22/seeking-macos-dev-contributor-inkscape… If you have some time, it would be cool if you could translate it (and possibly, also spread the word). Thank you for your help, Kind Regards Maren

inconsistency - probably missing colon
by Cristian Secară 05 Jun '21

05 Jun '21

In these group of strings I suspect that a colon should be added for these strings: "Display Mode Cycle" => "Display Mode: Cycle" "Display Mode Toggle" => "Display Mode: Toggle" This because: #: ../src/actions/actions-canvas-mode.cpp:256 msgid "Display Mode: Normal" msgstr "" ... #: ../src/actions/actions-canvas-mode.cpp:257 msgid "Display Mode: Outline" msgstr "" ... #: ../src/actions/actions-canvas-mode.cpp:258 msgid "Display Mode: No Filters" msgstr "" ... #: ../src/actions/actions-canvas-mode.cpp:259 msgid "Display Mode: Hairlines" msgstr "" ... #: ../src/actions/actions-canvas-mode.cpp:260 msgid "Display Mode Cycle" msgstr "" ... #: ../src/actions/actions-canvas-mode.cpp:261 msgid "Display Mode Toggle" msgstr "" Cristi -- Cristian Secară https://www.secarica.ro

Inkscape 1.1 released
by Marc Jeanmougin 24 May '21

24 May '21

================ = Inkscape 1.1 = ================ Inkscape version 1.1 is now released. ---------------- You can watch our showcase at: https://inkscape.org/release-video-1-1/ and download it for your platform on: https://inkscape.org/release/inkscape-1.1/ then, if you want to support Inkscape, donate to the project at https://inkscape.org/support-us/ ---------------- Inkscape 1.1 is the latest major release of Inkscape, following one year of development after the 1.0 major release. The highlights of this release are: * A Welcome dialog, where the look of Inkscape can be selected, and some choices for the new document's size or file to open are available * A Command palette that opens when the '?' key is pressed, that allows to search and use many functions without having to use a keyboard shortcut or going through the menus * It is now possible to copy, cut and paste parts of paths with the Node tool * The dialog docking system has been rewritten, which resolves many issues with Inkscape's docked dialogs and allows you to dock dialogs on either side of the screen * New Outline Overlay mode that displays object outlines while also showing their real colors * Preferences options are now easier to find by using the new search field * It is no longer necessary to remember to click on 'Export' in the PNG Export dialog, as the exporting will already happen after the click on 'Save' in the file selection dialog. * Export as JPG, TIFF, optimized PNG and WebP directly from Inkscape * When pasting a copied object, Inkscape now pastes it directly on top of the currently selected object by default * An extension for updating extensions and installing additional extensions, called the Extension Manager (currently in beta stage) We also introduced a long list of new features outlined in detail and illustrated at https://media.inkscape.org/media/doc/release_notes/1.1/Inkscape_1.1.html . ----------------------------- Join an Inkscape project team ----------------------------- Inkscape is always happy to welcome new contributors in various areas: code[1], translation[2], UX[3], bug triaging[4], or even outreach[5]! The main ways to get involved are listed on https://inkscape.org/contribute/ The preferred points of contact are: [1] https://lists.inkscape.org/postorius/lists/inkscape-devel.lists.inkscape.or… + https://chat.inkscape.org/channel/team_devel (or freenode/#inkscape-devel) [2] https://chat.inkscape.org/channel/team_translation [3] https://chat.inkscape.org/channel/team_ux [4] https://chat.inkscape.org/channel/bug_migration [5] https://chat.inkscape.org/channel/team_vectors A warm thanks to everyone involved in making this release possible! -- The Inkscape team
