Inkscape 0.47pre2
by Ted Gould
Hello!
After too much delay, some for good and some for stupid reasons I've
finally uploaded a pre2 source package for Inkscape. This is VERY close
to the final 0.47 release so it's important that people pay attention
and we don't let things fall through the cracks.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/inkscape/files/inkscape/0.47pre2
There should be packages available shortly, packagers please reply to
this message with information regarding those.
Please discuss any release critical bugs or other information regarding
the release on the inkscape-devel mailing list.

[SPAM] Libre Graphics Meeting 2010 in Brussels Announced
by Jon Phillips
GLOBAL - August 22, 2009 - Cutting edge graphics software meets
free culture at Libre Graphics Meeting 2010 in Brussels
Users and developers of Free, Libre and Open Source graphics software
will meet in Brussels, Belgium on May 26-29, 2010 at the fifth annual
Libre Graphics Meeting (LGM). Held in a historical piano factory,
newly renovated into a lively exhibition and work space near Brussels'
city center, LGM 2010 offers software developers, artists, designers and
other graphics professionals the chance to collaborate and learn from each
other. LGM emphasizes the sharing of collective creativity, innovation
and ideas and is free for everyone to attend. The LGM community is
excited for the opportunity to bring this event to the European capital.
About the Libre Graphics Meeting
The Libre Graphics Meeting exists to unite and accelerate the efforts
behind Free, Libre and Open Source creative software. Since 2006, this
annual meeting is the premiere conference for developers, users and
supporters of projects such as GIMP, Inkscape, Blender, Krita, Scribus,
Hugin, the Open Clipart Library, and the Open Font Library gather to
work on interoperability, shared standards, and new ideas. Work at prior
LGMs has pushed the state of the art in important areas such as color
management, cross-application sharing of assets, and common formats.
Face-to-face meetings and opportunities for collaboration are important to
users and developers alike; in the form of tutorials, talks, workshops,
and birds-of-a-feather (BOF) the event offers many formal and informal
opportunities to interact.
Highlights from LGM 2009
The last Libre Graphics Meeting took place in Montreal, Canada. It
involved 150+ participants from around the world working together for
four days to give presentations, demos, and meet informally. Through
support from the Ãcole Polytechnique Montréal, the LGM user community
(raising money on pledgie.com), Sourceforge, River Valley Technologies,
Intel Communities, Open Candy, QT, sK1, GIMP, Python Software Foundation,
Gnome foundation and Group Eyrolles, the conference funded travel
for many international developers whom otherwise would not be able
to work face to face. Highlights included contributions by companies
building on Open Source such as AscenderCorp and Open Source Publishing,
and presentations of Jeff Fortinâs PiTiVi Video Editor, FontMatrix,
Phatch and Michael Terryâs work on In-Gimp user-experience analysis
and kinetic templates. All major projects in attendance, Scribus, Gimp,
Inkscape, and Open Font Library, spent time planning activities for the
next year. New projects like the panorama stitcher NONA, Lighttwist, a
system for running multi-projector immersive video displays, and Markus
Weiland's FacetZoom widget, set the stage for new exciting software
developments leading into LGM 2010 in Brussels.
A Preview of LGM 2010
For Libre Graphics Meeting 2010, the conference promoters challenge
all participating projects and people to set goals and plan creative
projects. First, each major project is requested to have set three solid
priorities before the conference to work towards. Second, one or more
collaborative projects is to be developed, beyond just the tools used,
such as a book or animation. And third, the conference hopes to involve
an increasing number of artists and academics to show novel uses libre
graphics software, and to discuss, analyse and provide inspiration.
In the coming months, Libre Graphics Meeting 2010 organizers will
release more information about the upcoming conference, raising funds to
enable the event, and release the official call for participation for
2010. Immediately, the conference organizers invite all interested in
participating to watch the http://libregraphicsmeeting.org website and
join the Create Project (http://create.freedesktop.org) mailing list
and get involved.
LGM 2010 is hosted by the Libre Graphics Community and Constant in
collaboration with De Pianofabriek, Master Networked Media and Research
programme Communication in a Digital Age (Piet Zwart Institute, Willem
de Kooning Academy, Rotterdam) and the Bruxelles Linux User Group (BXLUG).

Font not showing up in Inkscape 0.47pre1, built Jul 3 2009
by Bibi Morris
I thought all the ttf fonts not showing up was cleared up in an earlier
version. I was trying to use this font in the build
Inkscape 0.47pre1, built Jul 3 2009, and it will not show up. Can any
one shed light on what may be happening?
It also does not show up in Inkscape 0.46, built Apr 1 2008
Those of use with personal die cutting machines are really lost when we
cannot use the perfect font! I know it is silly but with over 17,000
fonts, we really find the perfect one and really want to use it.
Thanks

Concentric Circles?
by Jim Ford
Hi.
I want to draw a series of concentric circles, of precise diameters.
If I draw a circle about a centre and then resize it, the centre shifts.
How do I keep the centre fixed, please?

Release of JessyInk 1.3.0!
by Hannes Hochreiner
The JessyInk team is proud to announce the release of JessyInk version
1.3.0. This release features very exciting contributions from Marc
Eberhard, who implemented a drawing mode allowing users to draw on the
slides during the presentation in the browser. Another interesting new
feature is the ability to assign "views." This feature can be used to
zoom-in on a particular region of the slide. "Views" provide exciting
new ways to enhance your presentations. Also new in this release is the
option to customise the key bindings. To further improve the
compatibility and usability of JessyInk, custom keys can now be assigned
to all actions. For maximum flexibility, each mode (slide, index,
drawing) has its own set of key bindings.
Be sure to check out the latest JessyInk release and the showcase file
at:
http://code.google.com/p/jessyink/
About JessyInk:
JessyInk is a JavaScript that can be incorporated into an Inkscape SVG
image to turn it into an animated presentation. When the image is loaded
into an SVG-capable browser, every layer of the image becomes a slide.
Some of the many features include transitions, effects, an optional
master slide, index sheet and drawing mode, and zoom-based effects.
