If I know of a place that could receive an announcement, that's not on any of the lists on that wiki page, how do I put it on the list? I do have edit permission on the wiki, but I'm just not sure if I should add a new site myself. (I'm thinking of Full Circle Magazine http://fullcirclemagazine.org/ where 1 of InkscapeForum.com's members writes an ongoing series of tutorials -- a new one every month!) brynn -------------------------------------------------- From: "Bryce Harrington" <bryce@...983...> Sent: Friday, January 30, 2015 6:16 PM To: "Brynn" <brynn@...3089...> Subject: Re: [Inkscape-user] Volunteers needed: 0.91 Release Marketing > Please feel free to post the actual release announcement on any forums > you think it'd be appropriate on. > > Also, please mark any place you post it on to our announcements page, so > we'll remember to post to that place in the future too. > > http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/AnnouncePlanning091 > > On Tue, Nov 25, 2014 at 05:31:06PM -0700, Brynn wrote: >> Hi Bryce, >> Is it ok if I post this in forums too? >> >> Thanks, >> brynn >> >> -------------------------------------------------- >> From: "Bryce Harrington" <bryce@...983...> >> Sent: Sunday, November 23, 2014 1:15 AM >> To: <inkscape-devel@...84...> >> Cc: <inkscape-user@...84...> >> Subject: [Inkscape-user] Volunteers needed: 0.91 Release Marketing >> >> >Hi all, >> > >> >As the developers put the final touches on the 0.91 release, it's high >> >time to plan a media blitz to get this announced to all our users. >> > >> >I'd like to recruit and organize a formal team to do marketing for >> >Inkscape.

Inkscape Version 0.91 is Released!
by Bryce Harrington 02 Feb '15

02 Feb '15

The Inkscape community proudly announces the release of Inkscape 0.91. https://inkscape.org/en/download/ Inkscape is a drawing and painting tool similar to Illustrator, CorelDraw, and Xara X, but with features, new tools, and interface style of its own. It emphasizes the W3C standard Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file format, but reads and writes a wealth of other formats including PDF, so it is an easy complement to your other graphics and desktop tools. Best of all, Inkscape is created *by* the community *for* the community: Inkscape is 100% Open Source and freely available to everyone in the world. This release marks the culmination of a multi-year effort to switch to a new internal graphics rendering engine, Cairo. This brings performance enhancements and more accurate rendering of drawings. Thanks go especially to Google for sponsoring much of this work. A new Trace Pixel Art feature enables creation of vector art from bitmaps, sprites, and icons. A new Symbols Library provides reusable graphics elements - you can even read in Visio symbol libraries. New Snapping options and improved Snap preferences make it easier to quickly place items in the alignments you need. The tools for arranging objects offer several new ways to position the elements of a drawing. Tons of other little improvements have been made across all the other tools as well. Several new file formats are supported, including FXG, SIF and HTML5 export; and VSD and CDR import. EMF/WMF are now readable and writable for all platforms. And XCF, PDF, EPS, and PS+LaTeX support are improved. Inkscape has a rich Extension ecosystem, which is well known for bringing clever, cool, and innovative new ideas. Over a dozen new extensions are added in this release, including an Isometric Grid Generator, a Bitmap Cropper, a Text Extractor and a Text Merger, an HSL Adjuster, a Font Replacer, a Voronoï Diagram Creator, and more. The above barely scratches the surface of all the new stuff included in this release. For the full story, including examples and screenshots, please see our detailed Release Notes: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Release_notes/0.91 The Inkscape developers plan to meet for a 3-day Hackfest in Toronto at the end of April 2015. You can help us to improve Inkscape by donating to help cover travel, room and board so our international volunteer developers can attend the hackfest in person: https://inkscape.org/en/donate/hackfest/ Bryce

Yoshimi needs an artist
by Abrolag 25 Jan '15

Yoshimi is a FLOSS soft-synth that is in need of a start-up splash image. The project page that includes a copy of the desktop icon is: http://sourceforge.net/projects/yoshimi/?source=directory A bit of history and information about how the name came about is: http://yoshimi.sourceforge.net/ My first thought was something along the lines of Yoshimi throwing various musical symbols at the robots cowering in the corner, but am open to any other ideas. Ideally, I would like to present several options to people on the yoshimi-user list and for them to vote on which they prefer. -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune. Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

Trivial but . .
by Philip Rhoades 25 Jan '15

25 Jan '15

People, I have been using Inkscape for years (not heavily) and love it but there is a minor thing that I always thought should be changed: I think the Save button should grey out when a save has been made - then a glance will tell you whether any changes have been made or not. Thanks for a nice program! Regards, Phil. -- Philip Rhoades GPO Box 3411 Sydney NSW 2001 Australia E-mail: phil@...2067...
