I am sorry when I have raised the issue of CMYK vs. RGB in the wrong thread, but since I am targeted by the issue anew, I would like to know where do we stand and whether it is possible and how to drill the PDF with correct color codes? Thanks for any answer! Bernhard

Hey all, I just wanted to let everyone know that Inkscape was accepted as a mentoring organization for GSoC this year. This will be our 11th year participating. Google has transitioned from Melange to a new site (1) this year if you're interested in reading more about it. If you are interested in participating as a student please visit our page (2) on Google's new Summer of Code site to find links to our Ideas for summer projects on our wiki and our developer mailing list. As usual, please either introduce yourself on our developer mailing list or let us know what you're interested in working on this year. Student application don't open until the 14th, so now is the time to be talking to us if you are interested in working with us. If anyone has any questions, please ask away. Cheers, Josh (1) https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/ (2) https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/organizations/6010720831406080/

Windows 10: Menu commands of Inkscape do not appear
by Andreas Borutta 01 Mar '16

01 Mar '16

Hello. I installed the latest version of Inkscape on Windows 10. Three effects I recognize: 1 Inkscape needs extremly long to start (about 15 seconds), much longer than every other application (about 1-2 seconds) on my PC with an SSD. 2 When I click any entry in the menu toolbar, an empty rectangle appears. Not any command is visible. 3 When I hover over any symbol in the vertical toolbar as well an empty rectangle appears. How can I solve the problem please? Thanks.

SpinachCon 2016
by Martin Owens 01 Mar '16

01 Mar '16

Dear users and developers, Inkscape has been invited to take part in the Free Software design day known as SpinachCon which happens the day before LibrePlanet here in Boston: https://libreplanet.org/2016/ The SpinachCon event is about working with users on finding odd, weird and slightly ugly things within inkscape that we can fix or make designs about. If you are in the area and wish to take part it's March 18th 2016, from 12:00-5:00pm, in Boston at Beaucoop's offices (near South Station on the Red Line) I'll report in a new article any findings or fixes after the event. Best Regards, Martin Owens
