Thank you so much. Could you please write your stories as a paragraph and include some photos so I can add them to the presentation for the SENA people? I'd really appreciate it. They could also be used for a success stories database later. Thanks in advance.

I want to introduce Inkscape to the SENA http://www.sena.edu.co/portal office here in Cartagena de Indias http://www.flickr.com/photos/mariedoucet/sets/72157611795508388/. The SENA is the national service for training people in several trades. The goal is to convince them to try Inkscape and use it as the program of choice for graphic design courses. I have got technical info and examples, now I need all your Inkscape success stories from everywhere -specially on developing countries and Latin America- about Inkscape achievements and use in working, running business and being involved in big events or campaigns.
Then I believe you are familiar with this recent, but very cool, success story: http://gould.cx/ted/blog/Inkscape_works_on_Cancer
I can tell about how us at Fedora[1] are happy with Inkscape, along with GIMP, as a primarily tool for doing our day to day work. With Fedora 10 we got more into raster graphics, so GIMP was used more than usual, but in Fedora 8 and Fedora 9 Inkscape was the most used tool for distribution specific graphics[2] [3], from wallpapers to slashes to website banners.
We use it also for website mock-ups[4], posters[5] [6], t-shirts[7], CD/DVD labels[8], stickers[9] [10] and more. Sometime we use other applications in connection with Inkscape for finishing,like adding an effect with GIMP or prepare for professional print with Scribus.
Of course, we use it a lot fo create icons [11].
