Hello Vectors! 

Congrats for the release of the milestone Inkscape 1.0! 

It feels so good to have that breakthrough behind us, boosting what ever may come our way in the future. 

We are starting to organize initiatives to increase our effectiveness. One of those is related to the ever green topic of open source: fundraising.

Contrary to popular belief open source software isn't free, it's only free for its users. It is to a large extent funded by its developers.

Some of the highly requested features in Inkscape can't seem to be implemented without a solid funding effort and a more tightly organized development. Maybe Inkscape Vectors should pull more weight in that direction and bring Inkscape closer to implementing them?

Tomorrow, Saturday 13, at 3PM MDT (meeting time around the world) we'll kick off with a light meeting where I'll summarize what our previous discussions showed, and suggest what might be done next to increase our community, contributions, and advance Inkscape development.

You're all welcome to join in with your suggestions and comments!

If you can't attend feel free to jot down your thoughts in this issue: Vectors 2.0 - In Progress

I'm looking forward to catching up with a lot of you, and amplifying our coordinated efforts again :)
