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 ------------------ More info: Chemnitzer Linuxtage: https://chemnitzer.linux-tage.de/2022/en/ What we did last year: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/vectors/general/-/issues/192

Hiring a project manager.

Hi all, We had a good discussion about hiring a project administrator/manager at yesterday's PLC video meeting. A recording of the meeting can be found at: https://digimedia1.r2.enst.fr/playback/presentation/2.3/80b082be7c60e7a1fd9… We've prepared a document describing what we expect an administrator to do and are asking for community feedback. We'll also ask other OpenSource projects to review the document to give us feedback based on their experiences. That document can be found at: https://office.inkscape.org/nextcloud/index.php/apps/files/?dir=/&openfile=… The document should be editable so you can directly comment on it. Tav
