Future podcasts will be shorter, but hey, at least all the technical
difficulties were edited out. :)
Enjoy!

Super interesting show. ;)

Wow, I didn't know you were working in this! A holiday treat. Thanks, CR!
I loved the intro animation that you added. Well done.

Thanks. Yes. I volunteered to help with it some time ago. Feel free to
record more. :) I'll edit them and release them in less time now that I
have the animation intro outro and other video bits done.

Wow, thanks CR! I'm listening now. I sound like a dork 😛

Well, I finally got around to watching the video.
At first I thought the sound is bad, the video is bad, and
there's no focus. It's just 3 guys nattering on about how
they need more help and more money . . .
. . . but after a while it seemed a little endearing. These
3 maladroits imagining that using technology makes it
cool.
It left a lot of questions unanswered: What's a hackfest?
What's multi-page support supposed to do? Why go to Python 3
when Python 2 works perfectly well? . . . especially when
so much code depends on Python 2 - ?
What happened about mesh gradients?
And my favorite: Is 1.0 focused on fixing all known bugs
or can I get an overhaul of the path-drawing interface
as I proposed a while ago?

I can at least answer this directly:
7 months before python2 isn't supported any more:
https://pythonclock.org/
Statement from projects: https://python3statement.org/
Python2 does NOT work perfectly well, Inkscape has horrid support for
unicode in extensions because of how terrible python2 unicode handling
is. There are very good reasons not to use python2 any more, but we
will be careful about moving to python3 as there's a lot of code out
there and we've not got a good enough extensions network to get code
updated.
Best Regards, Martin Owens

Thank you. That helps.
Nice to see you BTW in the video. It gives me a better
feeling about who you are.
Any plans for another (shorter, more focused) video?

Well, I finally got around to watching the video.
Well, I finally got around to replying to this email... ;)

there's no focus.
At first I thought... Well, he's right about the sound, but the video isn't
bad, and podcasts are all nattering on about something of interest to a
niche target audience.
Speaking of nattering...
It's just 3 guys nattering on about how
they need more help and more money . . .
It's three guys who devote obscene amounts of their own time towards the
common goal of getting free graphics software into the hands of as many
people as possible for no money. Great personal cost, no personal monetary
gain. Often the answer to "why hasn't this or that feature been
added/improved" is precisely because of the need for more help/money.
This episode was a first run at a talk show about the inner workings of the
project, and how easy we make it to join and help out. It's really for the
audience who is already familiar with Inkscape, and want to know more about
what happens inside the project.
3 maladroits imagining that using technology makes it
cool.
I think that last bit should be the title of our next podcast. Inside jokes
are often part of what makes FLOSS grouo projects fun after all.
It left a lot of questions unanswered: What's a hackfest?
Good idea for a podcast. I had the same question from my mum. "Is it where
you learn to hack?" XD
I have abundant footage to clip together to help explain. Esp of the one in
Kiel.
What's multi-page support supposed to do?
Well, it's one of our most requested features apart from CMYK. Maybe it
would be good to do an episode on most requested features, what they do for
the non technical among us, snd what it would take to get them implemented.
Why go to Python 3
when Python 2 works perfectly well? . . . especially when
so much code depends on Python 2 - ?
Oh my...
What happened about mesh gradients?
They are implimented. Have fun using them! :)
And my favorite: Is 1.0 focused on fixing all known bugs
All known bugs? Hell no. There are thousands.
The major ones, yep. The goal is to give people a markedly better
experience than the last version. There is a ton to look forward too.
That's probably worth at least one podcast to talk about.
can I get an overhaul of the path-drawing interface
as I proposed a while ago?
Nope. No one has time to do a complete overhaul of anything right now. A
stable and improved Inkscape is what will be delivered. Overhauls will need
to wait past 1.0 realease.
Hope it helps, and that we may offer better sound quality for this labour
of love next time.

PS, the bad quality video was edited down a ton by some maniac, to exclude
all the technical difficulties which the audience would otherwise have to
sit through. So one could simply be happy about that fact, and enjoy
listening to largely off
-the-cuff banter from our intrepid team of strangeoids on this their very
first podcast attempt.
Can I get a huzzah?
