GoLUG Inkscape presentation 1/5/2022
by Steve Litt
Hi all,
GoLUG is going to have another Inkscape presentation, online via Jitsi,
at 7pm Eastern (New York) time on 1/5/2022. I can give the
presentation, but at our last Inkscape presentation one of the
attendees had triple the Inkscape knowledge, and I'm wondering if she'd
like to give the presentation instead of me. All I know about her is
she's on the Inkscape-User list, and from her accent I don't think she
was born in the United States.
Thanks,
SteveT

Help us staff a booth at the largest German Online Linux event (English/German)!
by Maren Hachmann
Hi everyone,
the Inkscape project is planning to host a virtual booth/stand again at
the Chemnitzer Linuxtage (CLT), on March 12 and 13 (Sat/Sun) 2022!
Usually the largest Linux and Open Source event in Germany, CLT are
going to be an online-only event in 2022 again.
The CLT (Chemnitzer Linuxtage) are an all-day event and we could use
your help answering user questions about how to work with the program,
how to contribute to it and about what is going on in the Inkscape
community, by being available for questions and chatting at our virtual
booth.
The other thing we plan to do again is a series of short, 10 to 50 min
topic-focused sessions – show other users how you use Inkscape, how to
use your Inkscape extension, how people can help the Inkscape project or
which cool things you made with Inkscape (and they can, too!). A live
drawing session, a demonstration, a tour through your maker lab -
anything that has to do with Inkscape is possible!
So, no matter if you're 'just a user', a developer, a forum member, a
regular user support provider in our chat channels, an Inkscape
translator or other contributor – if you have some time available to
spend helping the Inkscape project on that weekend in March, we would
very much appreciate your help!
Start by introducing yourself at the GitLab issue report where we're
discussing the event organization!
******************
Please get in contact with us as soon as possible and find more info at
https://gitlab.com/inkscape/vectors/general/-/issues/235
Let us know how you can help make the booth an interesting place for
visitors to drop by!
******************
We're going to have a first chat meeting with all those interested on
Saturday, January 8, 2022 at 17:30 UTC (18:30 German time, after the
Inkscape Vectors' meeting) at
https://chat.inkscape.org/channel/team_vectors
Hope to see you, it's going to be fun!
If you are not able to join us at the booth,
consider visiting us there!
Kind Regards
Maren

Changing document size wipes out gradient
by Steve Litt
Hi all,
Be very careful, with any document containing gradients, when
performing File=>Document Properties=>Resize.
I had a rectangle with a radial gradient above a big rectangle and
below a schematic diagram. The drawing, which had taken me about 8
hours, was finished. All I needed to do was resize it and save. When I
resized, the gradient disappeared and the rectangle was a solid color.
I attempted to re-do the gradient, but this time it was too bright and
ended too abruptly.
I haven't decided how to deal with this yet, but I just wanted to
advise you: Don't apply a gradient to anything until your drawing is
the proper size, look frequently to make sure your gradient(s) remain
the same, and if you have gradients, back up after every single save.

Drag the Inkscape icon into your applications folder, as the arrow
indicates.

Is there an older version that I can download for my computer?
I have a Mac with OS X Yosemite V 10.10.5.
The version of Inkscape is 1.1.1 and will not load on my older OS.
