Hi-
We are looking for someone to teach a half-day course in using Inkscape for SVGOpen 2007. SVGOpen is an annual SVG conference, and this year, it is being held in Tokyo. The class would be the afternoon of September 4, 2007.
The teacher should be very familiar with Inkscape, and would ideally have some knowledge about the SVG format. This is not intended to be a design course, but it would be nice if the teacher has a good design sense, or even training in design. If the teacher is comfortable with other design tools, such as Illustrator, that might help in answering student questions. The teacher should speak adequate English, but a Japanese translator may be available.
The class should give a broad overview of the functionality of Inkscape. Beyond that, the subject matter is left to the discretion of the teacher.
The teacher would receive a free pass to the whole conference. It would be a good reference on a resume, and an interesting experience.
If you are interested, please contact me at inkscape@...2298... Thanks very much!
Regards- -Doug

Ohhh---alas that right around then is absolutely the *worst* time for me to be travelling! Theoretically, I should be utterly sleep deprived and in the throes of newborn baby-care.
(Otherwise, while I can't claim to be absolutely expert with Inkscape, i do have a solid background in Illustrator, familiarity with a handful of other vector design tools (and a solid background in raster tools as well), as well as having learned Japanese as a first language (it's not as good as my English, though!))

well I can fully understand that you are busy then, at this time. Good luck with your baby!
I still hope we find an Inkscape developer or skilled user to teach a course or make a presentation on the current status/discussions regarding new features or developments.
So maybe you can help us find a person.
I also see a few japanese-sounding names in the developer list:
Yukihiro Nakai Mitsuru Oka Masatake Yamato
Are those japanese names? If yes, are they living in Japan?

I'll be happy to do what I can.

Yes, those are Japanese names. I'm not on the developer list, so I don't know them. However, I think that approaching them would be a good idea!
