2020-10-11 15-40-19 PDT Jabier Arraiza Puedes confirmarme si en el ultimo cambio no casca el appimage? 2020-10-10 19-00-21 PDT Jabier Arraiza 4AM slicing..... 2020-10-12 13-10-09 PDT Jabier Arraiza no no lo utilizan 2020-06-14 18-34-23 PDT Jabier Arraiza Muchas gracias!!!!! 2020-10-10 18-32-56 PDT Jabier Arraiza joder con mi castellano 2020-10-10 18-53-26 PDT Jabier Arraiza de todas maneras he arreglado el slice para que fucione con toda la familia ;) 2020-12-14 12-03-31 PST Jabier Arraiza Ya lo miraré gracias! 2020-10-10 18-33-08 PDT Jabier Arraiza peor que el ingles!!!! 2020-10-10 18-15-11 PDT Jabier Arraiza llamalo satelite y original, es mas claro 2020-10-07 13-48-04 PDT Jabier Arraiza Buenos días, disculpa la tardanza estaba liado. No es más facil, es simplemente mas potente. El tema es que los LPE no son destructivos y pueden generar elementos que lo modifiqen como knots (puntos verdes), paths(curva bend) o otros elementos basados en el elemento original(mirror symmetry con split items o meassure segments), no obstante algunos se añaden a la interface sin necesidad del dialogo, como en las curvas spiro o bspline con la herramienta pen/cil. Espero haberte aclarado!!!! 2020-10-11 15-45-14 PDT Jabier Arraiza Solo para tu informacion la parte importante de un backtrace la obitienes poniendo bt enter al final 2020-10-11 02-49-22 PDT Jabier Arraiza i see the MR feed 2020-10-10 18-32-43 PDT Jabier Arraiza jerarquia 2020-10-11 02-49-27 PDT Jabier Arraiza lo vi! 2020-10-10 18-16-07 PDT Jabier Arraiza hereda la forma y opcionalmente lar traslaciones. Tambien se pueden resetear los estilos al original 2020-10-11 15-09-59 PDT Jabier Arraiza joderrr que me olvido que hablas mi idioma!!!! 2020-10-11 15-09-16 PDT Jabier Arraiza no problem usualy is better one comment but if has videos visualy you loose position/reference 2020-10-10 18-59-23 PDT Jabier Arraiza creo que ahora esta mejor ya me diras, voy a dormir 2020-10-10 18-17-36 PDT Jabier Arraiza hijos impica una gerarquia de arbol que no existe 2020-10-12 02-13-11 PDT Jabier Arraiza Tienes que compilar en modo debug (va mas lento) añadiendo a tu orden de cmake: `-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug` 2020-10-08 05-48-21 PDT Jabier Arraiza No estoy de acuerdo, los LPE permiten extender capacidades,luego si se aplican al flujo normal porque son muy útiles perfecto. Y si requieren computación extra depende de cada lpe y de la acción aplicada 2020-10-11 02-36-26 PDT Jabier Arraiza I have todat 2 messages, you remove it, no crash? 2020-10-11 15-09-40 PDT Jabier Arraiza you test latest commit? 2020-10-10 19-00-28 PDT Jabier Arraiza time to zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz 2020-10-11 16-52-12 PDT Jean Franco Amoni Rodríguez [ ](https://chat.inkscape.org/direct/jabiertxof?msg=viBrqNrJHBBQXcRuc) A ver, déjame probar... () 2020-12-14 00-37-12 PST Jean Franco Amoni Rodríguez Creo que algunos de estos ya están en Inkscape, pero aquí tienes algunas ideas para crear LPEs ya que veo que es como que lo que mejor sabes hacer o más te ha gustado por estos días: https://www.arakne.es/en/inkscape-1-0-shapes-extension-new-version/ 2020-10-11 16-56-22 PDT Jean Franco Amoni Rodríguez Tengo entendido que se llaman debug symbols... Pero no sé cuáles son los debug symbols of Inkscape 2020-10-11 13-19-09 PDT Jean Franco Amoni Rodríguez Y lo siento por poner todo en un solo comentario {>. 2020-10-10 18-14-03 PDT Jean Franco Amoni Rodríguez Es decir, aparte de heredar únicamente la posición cuando el padre es movido y el `Allow transform` está inactivo, ¿Hereda algo más? 2020-10-10 18-58-58 PDT Jean Franco Amoni Rodríguez Déjame probarlo... Ya vi el commit. 2020-10-10 18-34-02 PDT Jean Franco Amoni Rodríguez Lo importante, *a veces*, es la comunicación, no el medio. 2020-10-10 18-33-18 PDT Jean Franco Amoni Rodríguez Inglés, Español, Castellano... It always happens. 2020-10-06 22-11-32 PDT Jean Franco Amoni Rodríguez A eso me refiero. 2020-10-11 16-52-00 PDT Jean Franco Amoni Rodríguez Sí. Es un crash de hace bastante tiempo ya, solo que ahora se propagó del `File > Open` al `File > Save`. master parece estar sumamente inestable por etos días. 2020-06-14 11-46-04 PDT Jean Franco Amoni Rodríguez Además puedes instalar Grammarly, el cual te ofrece fuertes correcciones de escritura en casi cualquier campo de texto. Realmente es potente y ofrece estadísticas bastante útiles, pero no es más que una herramienta y, como todas, a veces te dejará pensando si es correcto o no lo que ofrece. 2020-10-06 22-09-03 PDT Jean Franco Amoni Rodríguez Una pregunta: ¿Es más fácil hacer un LPE que implementar "eso mismo" en Inkscape? 2020-10-11 13-19-50 PDT Jean Franco Amoni Rodríguez Es que en los inbox es preferible un solo comentario porque sino el correo se llena de ruido. 2020-10-10 18-33-38 PDT Jean Franco Amoni Rodríguez Pero como siempre digo a la gente que sueleve vivir corrigiendo: Si entendiste, no lo dijo mal. 2020-10-10 18-59-55 PDT Jean Franco Amoni Rodríguez Qué haces despierto jajajaja 2020-06-14 11-46-22 PDT Jean Franco Amoni Rodríguez Es todo. Saludos desde Venezuela. :grin: 2020-10-10 18-14-48 PDT Jean Franco Amoni Rodríguez En condiciones especiales, no lo sé. 2020-06-14 11-44-29 PDT Jean Franco Amoni Rodríguez Te recomiendo encarecidamente que uses https://www.deepl.com/Translator en vez del traductor de Google. Este primero es mucho más capaz y te permite corregir las frases y contextos en la traducción. 2020-10-06 22-10-55 PDT Jean Franco Amoni Rodríguez No me he puesto hasta ahora a revisar los LPEs ni su UX ni nada de ellos... Solo sé que existen y en muchas ocaciones utilizo mucho dos o tres de ellos... Pero sí me he dado cuenta que los desarrolladores han preferido incluir LPEs más que una implementación directa en Inkscape... No sé si me explico. 2020-10-10 18-30-14 PDT Jean Franco Amoni Rodríguez Gracias por aclarar. 2020-06-14 11-43-28 PDT Jean Franco Amoni Rodríguez ¡Hola! Veo que siempre resaltas que tu Inglés no es el más adecuado. Yo lo veo bastante bien, aunque no sé qué tan difícil se te haga leerlo. 2020-10-11 16-55-44 PDT Jean Franco Amoni Rodríguez 0x00007ffff7fc5bd8 in ?? () 2020-10-11 16-54-39 PDT Jean Franco Amoni Rodríguez Wow es bastante in formación @_@ 2020-12-14 00-37-56 PST Jean Franco Amoni Rodríguez Creo que algunos ya se podría decir que existen, pero en general con los vídeos se ven bastante bien. 2020-10-06 22-11-36 PDT Jean Franco Amoni Rodríguez [ ](https://chat.inkscape.org/direct/jabiertxof?msg=dMTeDu2JnKsPZZeGn) Returning: () 2020-10-12 13-05-17 PDT Jean Franco Amoni Rodríguez Ah claro... Gracias. Yo hago eso en local, pero supongo que los GitLab's AppImages no utilizan ese flag en su script, ¿o me equivoco? 2020-10-11 13-18-53 PDT Jean Franco Amoni Rodríguez Jajaja sí te lo había escrito por aquí pensando que no iba a abrir GitLab pero como no lo pude replicar en Master (compilado, no en AppImage) me intrigó mucho porque casi pierdo un trabajo como de 30 minutos (La imagen que puse en #team_ux)... Así que me puse a testear para hacer un comentario. 2020-10-10 18-14-34 PDT Jean Franco Amoni Rodríguez Color, forma, propiedades, atributos... 2020-12-14 00-38-32 PST Jean Franco Amoni Rodríguez ¡Suerte! 2020-10-10 18-59-48 PDT Jean Franco Amoni Rodríguez Descansa, Jabier. Feliz... 2020-10-06 22-08-38 PDT Jean Franco Amoni Rodríguez Buenos días Jabier... 2020-10-06 22-11-23 PDT Jean Franco Amoni Rodríguez Por ejemplo, tu Slider: ¿Existe una forma de hacer slide en Inkscape (sin LPE)? 2020-10-11 16-55-40 PDT Jean Franco Amoni Rodríguez ¿Qué necesito instalar para que no me salgan los signos de interrocación en el backtrace? 2020-10-10 19-00-03 PDT Jean Franco Amoni Rodríguez Ya duerme tranquilo 2020-10-07 15-36-22 PDT Jean Franco Amoni Rodríguez Ok, comprendo perfectamente. Ahora bien, ¿Se ve afectado el rendimiento de Inkscape tras la aplicación de un LPE, o el LPE hace que el objeto afectado se convierta en un objeto nuevo? — Es decir, tras aplicar una serie de LPEs a un objeto (me refiero solo a seleccionarlos, no a "Apply", lo cual destruiría el LPE), ¿se necesitan recalcular las cosas cuando le cambio el color al objeto o lo muevo? 2020-10-10 18-59-49 PDT Jean Franco Amoni Rodríguez Wow 2020-10-07 16-24-43 PDT Jean Franco Amoni Rodríguez Verás tengo mucho tiempo sin actualizar mi inbox#1461, pero hay algo que me perturba un poco y es que yo no considero que los LPE deban existir como herramientas aparte >>>nada más<<<. El historial o la forma en la que Inkscape maneja el historial es extremadamente básica, y si bien es cierto que gracias a Command Palette y Macros esto podrá ser mitigado, aún así considero que muchísimas características de todo esto pueden combinarse en un solo diáligo. En este sentido, para Inkscape hacer un Boolean Operation no será diferente de aplicar (literalmente, "Apply") un LPE. Haciéndo posible hacer modificaciones justo después de presionar el atajo de teclado de la Boolean Operation deseada. — Esto también aplica para Transforms, Fill and Stroke, Selection, Text, o básicamente cualquier posible movimiento que haga el usuario... Esto es más o menos como funciona Blender, aunque tú no puedes hacer una modificación y luego hacer otra y luego Ctrl + Z para modificar la anterior. Con Inkscape y ese sistema eso sí sería posible, y solo necesita UI Design, porque en términos prácticos todo eso ya existe en Inkscape, pero no es accesible por el usuario. 2020-12-14 00-38-28 PST Jean Franco Amoni Rodríguez Es una página de una extensión de Inkscape que hace exactamente eso, así que creo que hasta podrías aprovechar ese mismo código. No tengo idea. 2020-10-10 18-58-26 PDT Jean Franco Amoni Rodríguez Hm... No sé cómo interpretar eso. 2020-10-10 18-13-29 PDT Jean Franco Amoni Rodríguez ¿El hijo de de un slide hereda algo de su padre tras el separamiento?

2019-11-17 10-04-22 PST Tim Jones @bryce Hi Bryce, Following a question I had about Vectors being able to vote for the final 5 submissions in the Dev Vote. Everyone has agreed that active contributors should be allowed to vote, but must be in the Dev mailing list. I have Joined the mailing list and logged in but it says I need to wait for confirmation. Can you process that for me? Many thanks :thumbsup: 2020-11-18 00-50-28 PST Bryce Harrington hi tim, just wanted to say thanks for your involvement. And, did you get your mailling list issues sorted? If not, plz follow up with Mc, he manages the mailman instance now.

So when we create posts for Social Media, we can call everyone easily. Is that possible? Or something you are willing to do? It is ok, if you would rather not allow that! :-) 2019-11-12 13-21-59 PST Tim Jones The tick might be something Martin set up for me? 2019-11-12 12-17-25 PST Tim Jones Hi Just opening a PM for us to use ;-) 2019-11-12 13-24-51 PST Tim Jones Yes I can ask him 2019-12-02 06-51-27 PST Tim Jones That is great to know!

2020-11-16 06-56-56 PST Tim Jones Hi Chris, :wave: I was wondering if you could make some edits to the Inkscope animation for me? It would be awesome to have a Green background (The area outside the circle image). This way I can "Green-Screen" it onto any colour background, also remove the title that appears and fades out. Do you have a Business website? Do you have an online portfolio of your designs, that I can grab some images, to use in a slide show etc..? :slight_smile: 2020-11-11 12-13-30 PST Tim Jones Hi Chris, love the animation... :thumbsup: Ive not forgotten the interview, had a few family things crop up... as they do with Kids! Even adult Kids... :rolling_eyes: I have started to write my outline script for your interview. I just need some basic info, so I can start to build questions around you! 1. Your Name - what do you like to be called.? 2. Job title / description? 3. where you live in the World? (no need for exact location) 4. When did you join Inkscape Team? 5. When did you become a Govenor of the Inkscape Board? 6. What types of contribution have you made to Inkscape? i.e video, artwork etc... 7. what are you working on at the moment? No need to go into super detail here, leave that for the interview, this is just to give me some insight. ;-) I'm really looking forward to doing the interview. :-) 2021-02-22 07-16-14 PST Tim Jones You can post Youtube tutorials on the FB group, but you can't advertise a Patreon account. But if you advertise that within your youtube content, it is fine. We just don't support direct links to self promotion, or Stores etc... It leads to all sorts of mess. :-) 2021-02-22 07-17-04 PST Tim Jones Sounds great, good luck with it ;-) 2021-02-22 07-19-08 PST Tim Jones Yeah exactly, we want people to share their "How-to" video's. 2021-02-22 07-21-32 PST Tim Jones Yes, I have some people lined up, I also want to get Bryce on as well but I'm waiting until after you publish your article. I thought it would be a nice follow up? 2021-02-22 07-24-24 PST Tim Jones Yeah he does take a while to get back... Yeah I will contact him and try to get something arranged. Nice! :thumbsup: 2021-02-22 07-26-11 PST Tim Jones No problem, let's see if i can make it happen... No worries, to be honest life over xmas was crazy for me, family health problems are only just getting resolved so things should get back to normal here soon 2021-02-22 07-27-20 PST Tim Jones Great to be busy with work though, especially in these times... Life comes first! ;-) 2021-02-22 07-28-00 PST Tim Jones hahaha... they are good fun! 2021-02-22 07-28-38 PST Tim Jones We will get more out soon! :-) 2020-11-16 14-25-14 PST Tim Jones Hi Chris, thanks for the green screen version, so awesome! Yeah no rush for the images, when you have time. 👍 2021-02-22 07-29-05 PST Tim Jones thanks ! 2021-02-22 07-19-56 PST Tim Jones no problem :-) 2021-02-22 07-19-34 PST Tim Jones :thumbsup: 2020-11-16 12-53-27 PST C.Rogers inkscope_podcast_intro_greenscreen.mp4 (https://chat.inkscape.org/file-upload/aT6orhDAbFwtBpdsL/inkscope_podcast_in…) 2020-11-12 03-31-47 PST C.Rogers 1. Your Name - what do you like to be called.? - Chris is fine, but should mention my name is C.Rogers in the project. 2. Job title / description? Designer - Products, Graphics, Video & Animation 3. where you live in the World? London, United Kingdom (I'm American, but have earned British Citizenship) 4. When did you join Inkscape Team? About 6 years ago (2015) 5. When did you become a Govenor of the Inkscape Board? About 3 years ago (2017) 2020-11-12 03-59-38 PST C.Rogers Oh, I'm also the official moderator for the project as of this year. 2020-11-12 03-56-48 PST C.Rogers Looking forward to the interview too! 2021-02-22 07-08-24 PST C.Rogers Wanted to pick your brain about something. 2021-02-22 07-09-02 PST C.Rogers I want to start a Youtube channel which teaches Inkscape from beginner through advanced techniques. 2021-02-22 07-10-08 PST C.Rogers I was wondering if it's okay with you if I post announcements for new videos on the Facebook page. I realise that it's a bit like advertising though, so I wanted to okay it with you first. 2021-02-22 07-16-37 PST C.Rogers Yea, understood. 2021-02-22 07-17-02 PST C.Rogers I hope you don't mind me occassionally promoting Doc's Patreon in the comments. 2021-02-22 07-17-47 PST C.Rogers I feel that's okay because it's not self-promotion, and it's actually helping Inkscape the application get better. 2021-02-22 07-18-23 PST C.Rogers Not to mention the fact that Doc really needs the exposure. 2021-02-22 07-19-41 PST C.Rogers Thanks again. :) 2021-02-22 07-20-01 PST C.Rogers Got any more Inkscope interviews lined up? 2021-02-22 07-20-20 PST C.Rogers (because you don't have enough to do, clearly) ;) 2021-02-22 07-22-24 PST C.Rogers Yea, I need to contact Bryce again about it. He wasn't responding, which is why I didn't push the article out. 2021-02-22 07-22-59 PST C.Rogers Actually, the podcast would be great material for the article. 2021-02-22 07-23-08 PST C.Rogers Could you do yours first? 2021-02-22 07-23-19 PST C.Rogers Then We don't have to bug him more than once. 2021-02-22 07-23-47 PST C.Rogers I can then link the interview into the article, and give it double the exposure. 2021-02-22 07-24-30 PST C.Rogers Bound to be some quotables in the Interview. 2021-02-22 07-24-50 PST C.Rogers Sorry to have unknowingly held up the interview. :) 2021-02-22 07-26-37 PST C.Rogers Oh good. Sorry to hear it's been rough. For me too work-wise. 2021-02-22 07-27-42 PST C.Rogers But honestly, I miss hearing your super wholesome Inkscape interview banter. lol 2021-02-22 07-28-05 PST C.Rogers So it's not for entirely unslefish reasons, lol 2021-02-22 07-28-53 PST C.Rogers Sweet!

2020-10-30 10-36-41 PDT Rachana Hi Maren! I am interested in documenting my changes in the release notes for Inkscape 1.1 :slightly_smiling_face: 2020-12-08 10-13-49 PST Rachana There is some math in the code that is connected to the range of calligraphy tool width(0-100) that I'm not entirely sure I understand, so I think this issue needs to be added to the backlog so someone better suited to work on this can pick it up 2020-10-30 10-44-39 PDT Rachana yup that's perfect, thank you 2020-10-30 10-41-04 PDT Rachana And just to confirm: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:CreateAccount&returnto=W… 2020-12-08 10-14-22 PST Rachana Sorry for the late response, I've been busy with finals. Happy holidays :christmas_tree::slightly_smiling_face: 2020-10-30 10-43-35 PDT Rachana username: rachanapodaralla 2020-10-30 10-41-13 PDT Rachana this is the right link to create an account right? 2020-11-08 08-37-11 PST Rachana Let me know if I need to change anything, thank you! :) 2020-10-30 10-43-31 PDT Rachana Ah, sorry for the confusion! that makes sense :slightly_smiling_face: 2020-10-30 10-47-19 PDT Rachana Yes, thank you! :slightly_smiling_face: 2020-10-30 10-38-16 PDT Rachana Do I need to have a wiki account already? 2020-11-08 08-36-43 PST Rachana Hi Maren! So I added my updates to the release notes under the "Calligraphy Tool" section: https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php?title=Release_notes/1.1#Improvemen… 2020-12-08 10-11-21 PST Rachana Hi Maren! I took a look at increasing the maximum width for the calligraphy tool from 100 to 1000 2020-10-30 10-42-59 PDT Rachana oh okay, so you're going to create an account for me with my username/email? 2020-10-30 10-43-45 PDT Rachana email: rpodaralla3(a)gatech.edu 2020-12-10 05-45-38 PST Moini Hi Rachana, no problem, you don't need to justify yourself! I hope your finals went well, and I wish you all the best for any upcoming holidays! (yeah, that's a bit unspecific, but I don't know what and if you will celebrate anything ...) 2020-10-30 10-43-09 PDT Moini Yes, that's why I need them :) 2020-10-30 10-44-11 PDT Moini User name will start with a capital letter, that's a weird property of the Wiki. 2020-10-30 10-39-27 PDT Moini (but access is only on request, because of spam) 2020-10-30 10-46-38 PDT Moini Thanks for your help! 2020-10-30 10-42-05 PDT Moini (and you can't create an account there, only admins can) 2020-10-30 10-45-56 PDT Moini Your password is Chiethual8Zu . Please change it as soon as possible :) 2020-10-30 10-37-40 PDT Moini Hi Rachana! That would be great! For giving you access to the Wiki, I need an email address and a user name from you. 2020-10-30 10-44-49 PDT Moini Ok, copy-pasting... 2020-11-09 16-21-54 PST Moini Sorry, I forgot to reply ... Thank you for adding your new feature! 2020-10-30 10-44-28 PDT Moini So it's going to be Rachanapodaralla 2020-10-30 10-39-11 PDT Moini Yes, if you'd like to put your changes into the release notes, that's the only way :) It's a Wiki, everyone in the community can edit. 2020-10-30 10-41-52 PDT Moini That's Wikipedia! Our release notes are in the Inkscape wiki at https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php?title=Release_notes/1.1 2020-10-30 10-42-26 PDT Moini We're also using MediaWiki, like Wikipedia. 2020-10-30 10-46-28 PDT Moini You should be able to edit the Release notes now to add your work to them. 2020-10-30 10-39-59 PDT Moini It would help if every developer documented their own changes, but most don't.

2020-04-04 07-54-16 PDT Tim Jones Hi Ryan did you add access to Gitlab for Sonia? If not, can you please, many thanks :-) 2020-12-05 02-55-26 PST Tim Jones Hi Ryan, great to hear from you, I'm glad you are going to be joining the meeting today! Nice to have you back...☺️ I can lead the meeting, it's not a problem. 👍 There is a UI/UX brainstorm meeting one hour before Vectors if you want to lurk about there? I'm not sure what it's about? See you later. 🤗 2020-06-08 12-08-30 PDT Tim Jones Yeah, I agree, here's to next time and fighting the good fight... ;-) 2020-04-04 07-55-38 PDT Tim Jones not sure, I will talk her through it later, I've been super busy looking after parents etc... I'm a bit behind with everything thats going on... 2020-05-03 01-44-00 PDT Tim Jones Yes, of course, ready and waiting... I made contact with the guys from Destination Linux Network. They have a network of YouTube channels and huge viewer numbers. I spoke to the guy in charge, he was very keen to push out Inkscape news whenever it's available, now, and in the future! 2020-04-04 07-56-23 PDT Tim Jones You are a STAR sir! ;-) 2020-06-06 10-06-22 PDT Tim Jones Thanks Ryan ;-) 2020-05-05 07-43-30 PDT Tim Jones Hi Ryan, I was just looking at the Vectors Team Page: https://inkscape.org/*inkscape-vectors/ It occured to me, we should update our Vectors membership to better show case everyone involved. Is that something we can do? (if so how?) Or do we need Martin to add people? I'm just concious he is probably burnt out at the moment, and also, planning a break soon! 2020-05-02 11-05-58 PDT Tim Jones Thanks for getting back to me, 😊. Ahh, I see, no worries, I thought I was going crazy for a moment... lol 2020-05-02 08-09-46 PDT Tim Jones Hi Ryan, Is there a Vectors meeting today? 2020-06-06 13-24-22 PDT Tim Jones Hi Ryan,\ I had a chat on Discord with Nick earlier, he seems like a nice guy. I think we need to strengthen our Vectors stand point about Social outreach and On-boarding new people.\ Where ever there is an Inkscape community, be that on a "Free-Libre" platform or a Proprietary platform, we should not discriminate, they are Inkscape users and potential Contributors of the future.\ I know our Dev's push back on Proprietary platforms, but we are Social Outreach, it is part of our Mantra to reach out to these people and bring them into the fold.\ No Group or person should feel, or be made to feel like a second class citizen because they choose to talk about Inkscape on a non-free platform. The important thing is, they are part of the Inkscape "Community". We had an amazing turn out for the About Screen contest... 90% of entries came from users who are active on Facebook. Proprietary platforms cannot be ignored or pushed to the side, we need to embrace them and bring them in gradually, not put up Walls. Our biggest user base is Windows... I know the Team want everyone to be on the Forum or Rocket Chat, but that's not the real world. People will congregate where they want, we have to accept that and embrace it. (IMHO) I would love to hear your view, perhaps I'm too idealistic...? Thanks for doing all that you do, and always being a foundation for the Vectors Team. ;-) 2020-10-24 03-40-35 PDT Tim Jones Hi Ryan, Hope everything is ok? Just checking in... Stay safe and well. 🙂 2020-10-21 04-11-10 PDT Tim Jones Hi Ryan, :wave: I have finished editing the Inkscope Podcast interview with Sven Ebert. :movie_camera: I was wondering if it would be ok to get access to the YouTube channel, so I could upload directly myself? The video is in 1080p resolution with a 3.6GB file size. It might get a bit awkward expecting others to download the file from me, then upload to Youtube...? I understand if you would rather not increase the number of people with access, so don't worry about offending me... ;-) You might remember volunteering to be interviewed on the Podcast... :thinking: Can we make that arrangement now! :pray: I would like to keep the momentum going, if I can. :-) 2020-06-22 07-31-13 PDT Tim Jones Ryan, my dad was rushed into hospital last week, I've been going in every day. He had a heart attack last night. The doctors have advised me to stay in with him. I'm in a bit of a mess to be honest. Can you let the others know I wont be around for a while. I need to be with dad. Sorry to put this on you. Tim 2020-06-07 03-51-46 PDT Tim Jones Thanks, Ryan, I really appreciate your considered point of view. I believe we have a process to store login credentials in case a maintainer of a platform disappears? I think Maren knows more about that process, I will speak to her about it. I know Proprietary platforms can never be "Official" but we should perhaps look at some sort of "Affiliation" Badge. As long as the maintainer is active in the Inkscape team and attends Vectors meetings etc... Something to ponder and discuss at some point maybe? Thanks again for your support, it means alot! ;-) 2020-04-04 07-56-06 PDT Ryan Gorley No worries. She should be set on this side. 2020-06-22 07-40-35 PDT Ryan Gorley Of course! I'm so sorry, Tim. I'll be praying for you and your dad. 2020-06-06 14-13-01 PDT Ryan Gorley Yada yada. You're the man in charge. Let's do it. :) 2020-06-08 10-40-40 PDT Ryan Gorley I just read the issue and it seems like we were able to navigate that issue without too much drama. It's going to come up again I'm sure, but we'll keep pushing to be inclusive. 2020-06-06 09-42-05 PDT Ryan Gorley Thank you, Tim, for being willing to take on a more formal role helping us nurture the community. You have such talent in that regard. Don't feel like you need to do it alone, but I think your talents will go a long way here. 2020-06-06 14-09-06 PDT Ryan Gorley As a matter of resources we may need to encourage people who want "official" support to use the forum or Rocket.Chat. Spreading our attention too thinly is why we ended up consolidating forums in the first place, and it is a problem if people are going to Discord to get support. But that doesn't mean these communities can't serve each other (which is frankly what happens in most cases anyway), and when we have a larger team we can have a designated person for these platforms. As far as Discord, Nick sounds like he's committed to keeping that going, so there we go. 2020-06-06 14-06-08 PDT Ryan Gorley My biggest concern would be that we have adequate access to these groups that someone can't just hijack it and walk away, or more likely, lose interest and let it rot with no ability to claim it. 2020-05-04 11-16-38 PDT Ryan Gorley Sorry I missed this. Yeah, they're a fun group. Great work! 2020-05-02 10-11-10 PDT Ryan Gorley Sorry! We had it last week because we thought the launch would be yesterday. We missed you. I should have sent out a reminder it wasn't happening today. 2020-05-02 22-02-51 PDT Ryan Gorley Well, we missed you last week. I'm glad you're still healthy! It sounds like we will _probably_ be releasing 1.0 Monday evening. I've got to hear back from Chris, but I may solicit your help pushing an announcement out to Facebook if you're available. 2020-12-04 16-25-49 PST Ryan Gorley Hey @Tim, sorry I've been out of touch. I hope to join in the meeting tomorrow. It's probably best if I don't try to lead that though, since I'm a ways out of the loop. Is someone else taking care of that? 2020-04-04 07-54-39 PDT Ryan Gorley Yes, I did. Is she having trouble getting in? 2020-05-05 09-07-54 PDT Ryan Gorley I think people can actually just join the group of the have a login on the site. I don't think there is any restriction. Let me see if I can do anything with my permissions... 2020-06-06 14-04-49 PDT Ryan Gorley I agree wholeheartedly. Twitter is proprietary, so is Facebook. I recognize that we should not require people to be on those platforms to interact with the project, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't meet people where they are at. 2020-06-06 14-12-30 PDT Ryan Gorley You can tell I don't feel as strongly about this as Martin. Let's welcome this community into the fold, along with any others that are floating around. Gimpscape (https://gimpscape.org/) is a huge Indonesian community that we need to try to incorporate into the official project somehow, at least make sure that someone in charge over there knows we want to support them however we can. 2020-06-06 14-05-12 PDT Ryan Gorley While Mastodon is technically open source, we're still using some third-party to host it.

2019-04-14 11-14-00 PDT SrrReal I am trying to understand the team in its fairly initial days... that's where this question comes from 2019-04-14 10-53-15 PDT SrrReal First things first... could you tell me a little bit about how you came to be a part of Inkscape? 2019-04-14 09-16-48 PDT SrrReal I want to check with you if we could chat for a bit about Inkscape? This is for the course project I am working on... I am studying Inkscape as a case of a FOSS community to understand how the identity of a community is shaped by its contributors. 2019-04-14 12-25-14 PDT SrrReal Haha that's true! Final question... Inkscape seems to have certain values, core to it - such as passion, patience - would you think there are ways in which this becomes visible to users or folks outside the community? 2019-04-14 10-59-32 PDT SrrReal over two years? 2019-04-14 12-46-41 PDT SrrReal no hurries! 2019-04-14 12-42-59 PDT SrrReal definitely! I am planning to share my draft ethnography with all of you - and I am hoping I can translate some of into non-academic useful posts/documents for the team and community 2019-04-14 11-34-19 PDT SrrReal Amazed because often one reads about how open source communities can be tough spaces to navigate? That there is a certain way you need to ask questions... that people maybe rude, etc, etc. Somehow, I don't see it here... Would you say Inkscape is different in that sense? 2019-04-14 12-36-37 PDT SrrReal Are there specific people you feel I should speak to, to better understand some of these things? 2019-04-14 10-50-16 PDT SrrReal Hi Michele, now would work for me as well! 2019-04-14 11-13-25 PDT SrrReal When you got on the Vectors team, what were some of the things you and others worked on at that time? 2019-04-14 12-40-59 PDT SrrReal Thanks a lot for your time to speak with me, I really appreciate it! 2019-04-14 12-05-20 PDT SrrReal Maren is a rockstar on the user channel from what I have seen! Always always seems to have answers for all kinds of questions relating to Inkscape! 2019-04-14 10-52-36 PDT SrrReal great! 2019-04-14 12-46-02 PDT SrrReal I was also wondering - I created the welcome survey as a doc... in the content repo... I wasn't sure how to proceed after this - https://gitlab.com/inkscape/vectors/content/blob/master/articles/Welcome%20… 2019-04-14 10-51-35 PDT SrrReal I love how you are asking all the questions I thought I would be asking :'D 2019-04-14 12-44-53 PDT SrrReal Yes, more power to us! 2019-04-14 09-19-17 PDT SrrReal I have interacted with a few users so far and those who have made contributions on and off to Inkscape... It's helped me understand how they view Inkscape from the outside, what they value in it, etc. Now I am looking to speak with folks who have been more involved with the project to understand how they see Inkscape 2019-04-14 11-49-10 PDT SrrReal And to think that all of this is volunteer driven! different people, different takes - all come together. There's a lot of discussion, back and forth but it is always civil and respectful 2019-04-14 11-07-42 PDT SrrReal when you say you had become a big fan, that's because of their features? or being cost effective or other reasons? 2019-04-14 12-40-13 PDT SrrReal Perfect, I'll definitely go over the Facebook group as well! 2019-04-14 11-21-44 PDT SrrReal oh this was the article? the first one you worked on? 2019-04-14 12-23-02 PDT SrrReal yep, that's really useful. I'll remember to check some of the closed issues too! 2019-04-14 11-51-32 PDT SrrReal Like you had mentioned earlier, people discussed about choosing tools... how do discussions, where there is disagreement, get resolved? I am curious about this because the calm in the conversations almost feels natural 2019-04-14 12-35-00 PDT SrrReal yes, that does directly speak to my question on visibility. 2019-04-14 11-39-23 PDT SrrReal to an extent it does make sense... at least the good people part from what I have seen. Why do you say Inkscapers are also rebels? 2019-04-14 09-14-42 PDT SrrReal Hey Michele! 2019-04-14 09-19-50 PDT SrrReal Would you be interested in chatting about this? 2019-04-14 12-43-42 PDT SrrReal since it is only for a course project, it might be limited in scope but nevertheless I shall share my work 2019-04-14 11-24-15 PDT SrrReal introducing an open source doc meaning which tool to use? that sparked a lot of discussion? 2019-04-14 10-59-19 PDT SrrReal ah I see, so Vectors has been around for a while now? 2019-04-14 11-46-54 PDT SrrReal oh yes, the inkscape_user channel is brimming with life almost 24x7! 2019-04-14 12-46-14 PDT SrrReal ah ha, the timing! :D 2019-04-14 12-11-39 PDT SrrReal the issue flow seems useful once I figured out that's how it works. Once I opened my first issue, the chaos cleared and began to make better sense. I would assume it must intuitive now! But to begin with, it must have been a totally unheard of work flow, isn't it? How did we get here? 2019-04-14 11-12-25 PDT SrrReal Oh yes, totally. When I first opened a simple house clipart I had created, as a vector, I was thrilled to understand the math behind it! 2019-04-14 12-35-42 PDT SrrReal This has been such a great conversation, Michele! Very useful for my research as its given me a lot to think about and go over but also as a team member, very inspiring! 2019-04-14 12-46-34 PDT SrrReal sure! take your time! 2019-04-14 11-33-04 PDT SrrReal In the few weeks since I have joined I have witnessed the passion and patience repeatedly.. and I have been amazed! 2019-04-14 12-21-21 PDT SrrReal Oh okay, I'll make a note to look at some older issues to get the picture.. and I think the team has then come a long way, now using the repo for graphics as well 2019-04-14 10-50-38 PDT SrrReal It should take about 20-25 minutes. 2019-04-14 11-01-06 PDT SrrReal Thank you! I think earlier Ryan also mentioned that Vectors has been around for 2-3 years or so... I think he mentioned in the team meeting last week 2019-04-14 10-51-56 PDT SrrReal If it is okay to chat, we could continue this way? 2019-04-14 12-01-02 PDT SrrReal sure 2019-04-14 11-01-46 PDT SrrReal Just to go back to what you said... You were using Inkscape (versus other alternatives) because? 2019-04-14 12-00-32 PDT SrrReal could you give an example here? Maybe an instance where you felt people really collaborated well to get something done? working through decisions or differences patiently... 2019-04-14 11-49-27 PDT SrrReal where do you feel that comes from? 2019-04-14 12-49-47 PDT SrrReal Sure, we can collaborate on the issue and comments. Bye bye! 2019-04-14 12-23-22 PDT SrrReal Oh I didn't realise we have been chatting for close to 90 minutes! 2019-04-14 11-42-39 PDT Michèle Thibeau Oh definitely! People here seem to be outsiders, another good movie, or folks who don't need to conform to all of society's standards. I believe that this is part of the glue - spoken or not - that holds us together. I've learned more about some of the people here in the space and they have tremendous values and respect those who have different ones when we come together to share about advancing the project. Will this continue? Is it a continuum? Nothing stays the same in our world, in my humble experience. That's part of the beauty and the fragility. We are here now and next month things could change. Things will change. We are all volunteers, and so life and work and intrinsic motivation play powerful roles in how we interact and collaborate here. 2019-04-14 11-57-56 PDT Michèle Thibeau I hope that makes sense and answers at least one of your questions. 2019-04-14 11-55-55 PDT Michèle Thibeau People here are problem solvers. They have come to seek answers or to give back - to contribute. They come with respect - and if they don't, I don' t think they last long - and so they seek the same respect from others. This is a powerful, empowering community - at least this is what I have seen in my short time here. Are there personalities and history? Absolutely. At the same time, each one of us, as we contribute and interact, is changing the environment. We have choices to make in how we do it and why and when. In observing others at work and play, we see and we are invited to collaborate with allies. And to see everyone here as such. In my experience, I have seen a strong sense of people seeking to learn from each other, to lift up each other, to seek to encourage and empower each other to participate and grow. When things get negative, we have a choice in how or if we interact. Different people play different roles in this, perhaps others behind the scenes. It's all public and all open, so it's transparent - for good or for bad. We are real on here, warts and all. It seems to hold us more accountable and reveals very quickly the why behind our collaboration - the goals or objectives. Perhaps that's what leads to relationships being built. We're giving of ourselves and our skills and we're being (trying to be) good humans here. We're all in search of places where we can live that. Inkscape, in my experience, is that and more. 2019-04-14 11-04-26 PDT Michèle Thibeau Great question! I began using GIMP a number of years back, I want to say just under a decade ago, to do photo editing and then digital art. The idea was to own the rights to my work, so to use software I could afford that would enable me to do this. My partner helped me find GIMP way back and then Inkscape followed. Can't recall whether it was my find or not in searching for an alternative. I have become a big fan of these two tools, among others for other uses, and often hashtag them when sharing my work and speak to them and share them with friends and colleagues. I also use Inkscape at work for a variety of things. 2019-04-14 10-50-42 PDT Michèle Thibeau Okay, perfect. Would you like to chat like this or with voice or... let me know. 2019-04-14 11-45-21 PDT Michèle Thibeau If you're seeking to see some of the heart and soul of this project, head to the team_devel channel and or the inkscape_user channel. You'll see people in action, helping - serving others, selflessly. We all serve this community in our own way. Mine is often helping programmers and folks who are not on social media and not content writers to better share the message about our work here. It's a huge honour to be part of this community. And lots of fun. 2019-04-14 10-56-34 PDT Michèle Thibeau Sure. I have been using Inkscape in my digital art practice for a couple of years and I was following them on Twitter - where I posted my work during a # YearOfCreating project. One day in March 2018, I think, I spotted a tweet one Saturday at noon that said Join the Vectors Team meeting - no need to be a programmer - or something of that sort. I clicked on the link and landed in a Jitsi chatroom in a meeting and introduced myself. Ryan was leading the meeting - he offered to get me onto GitLab if I sent him my email. That's how it all began. 2019-04-14 12-19-05 PDT Michèle Thibeau When I saw that I needed to write something else, at one point I shared that with a couple of other team members and we looked at what was needed and potential solutions. The content repo has enabled me to get things done, similar to a document filing system, but with a few limitations. That said. the versioning part, once I figured out how to do it, was an eye-opener and is really cool! I am seeking how to add this to my other work. The code tool that should be more incorporated into document management. 2019-07-06 19-21-06 PDT Michèle Thibeau Hey SrrReal, are you still with us? Hoping your article went well. Will we ever get to see how it turned out? Take good care. 2019-04-14 12-44-10 PDT Michèle Thibeau That would be terrific! I am sure we can use some of your insights to help improve the community and to perhaps share what's working and why - gain partners, sponsors, contributors... that's generous of you to want to share. Thank you! And thanks for taking an interest in Inkscape for your work!! 2019-04-14 12-37-49 PDT Michèle Thibeau I'm so glad to help you out, SrrReal! Oh, and here's the link to the Facebook group, in case you wish to see things here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/inkscape.org/ I recall one message where we wrote a post about seeking donations for a hackfest and shared some updates for the project. Someone read that and shared that they had donated. There were thanks and encouragement. Sometimes here we can see the impact of our collective actions. This drives me to act some more!! We're changing the world, our world, one action, one collaborative community at a time. 2019-04-14 11-10-34 PDT Michèle Thibeau Features, enabling me to create, also being cost effective. Being able to create and share work and being able to think about accomplishing your dreams is powerful! I am still learning the tool; however, we create for so many reasons - mostly because we have an innate need to do so. My dreams are in motion and being able to figure out the vector side of the equation has been a big step in my learning curve in surface pattern design. There are many emotions attached to this - being a fan - joy being one of them. 2019-04-14 11-38-29 PDT Michèle Thibeau Don't think that I am not bridging several worlds beyond Inkscape. I work with an organization where we use Microsoft platforms. I see myself as working with tools and able to work with many - lots of budget or no budget - to get things done. I am lucky enough to have insight from many different sides of the coin. 2019-04-14 12-32-33 PDT Michèle Thibeau Your work will help bring us visibility in a good way, too! 2019-04-14 11-06-37 PDT Michèle Thibeau I might have neglected to mention a lack of budget to use Photoshop for personal projects and entrepreneurial ones. 2019-04-14 12-17-02 PDT Michèle Thibeau You can see a bit of an evolution when you look back in past issues. Those having to do with writing seem to have been left unfinished... sometimes because, as I did in the beginning, people left themselves open to discussion on whether or not points of view were accurate. (One particular issue comes to mind here). Once we figure out that we can effect change - we can propose something or do something and send it out here, that's key. I spent a couple of articles making edits within an issue... we got it done. And then I said, not working for me. I also had an opportunity to have a couple of chats with the gals to share and learn how things worked among folks. This was helpful. Most helpful was me stepping up to collaborate and I started asking about timelines and letting folks know what we needed. Sometimes it happened fast. Other times slow - as people were able. If I could, at times I intervened - courageously - and tweeted my own stuff. Once I got out of my own way, I could better see how I could play a role. Others support you in this and this leads to action. I was encouraged to start my first issues later. First others started them and added my name - as they had asked if I was interested in writing an article. Then they encouraged me - or I had some ideas - and opened my own. Exciting steps each time! 2019-04-14 10-49-43 PDT Michèle Thibeau Hi SrrReal, sure! I'd be happy to chat with you about Inkscape. Let me know when you'd like to do this. I have some time now - it's afternoon here, but I am not sure what time it is where you are... 2019-04-14 11-43-17 PDT Michèle Thibeau I am still new here. This would be good to keep in mind! 2019-04-14 11-37-02 PDT Michèle Thibeau I think people sometimes are who they are here. Chat is tough to negotiate. Someone here told me that most folks have thick skins. I just finished watching SOLO, the movie, and it might not be a bad comparison (though one the community might not all agree with - as it's a big movie) Han Solo is a rebel, but he's really a good guy. Inkscapers are rebels and good people. We like to make choices about how or with whom we collaborate in the world. Hope that makes sense. 2019-04-14 12-00-51 PDT Michèle Thibeau Good question. Let me think of one example... 2019-04-14 11-14-08 PDT Michèle Thibeau First I watched and tried to read what I could in terms of what others were working on. Before that I kept (and still do sometimes) getting lost in the virtual corridors on here. 2019-04-14 12-23-40 PDT Michèle Thibeau Once we get started... 8-) 2019-04-14 10-59-37 PDT Michèle Thibeau I think it's been around for a couple of years... perhaps, yes! 2019-04-14 11-19-16 PDT Michèle Thibeau When I began we were still on the Jitsi platform with an email chat. Then I watched a debate - rather opinionated and frank - about inclusion using video and chat at the same time, which left two discussions going on and perhaps fewer action goals being set and actioned (my impression) in a cohesive manner. There was more discussion, perhaps less action. Then the meetings began to be held on the chat here (I might have missed some in the middle). One Vectors meeting there were very few of us on the channel - Ryan, Chris, Bryce and myself, I think. Perhaps others in the background lurking. That's when the action of announcing a new program, that got its start with Inkscape - and is part of the inner workings, needed to be tackled. I stepped in and said that I could write a news article. It was a steep learning curve to understand the subject; however, I did it! With lots of help from Bryce and Maren and Prkos - and Ryan. Then I was helped into the role of working on content. Once I piped up, I was offered other writing tasks and invited to participate more. https://inkscape.org/news/2018/11/11/graphics-math-library-2geoms-first-rel… 2019-04-14 12-22-00 PDT Michèle Thibeau The issues - the history is there, even in the closed ones. You can see the flow. I am sure that I am not accurately depicting how things have evolved. 2019-04-14 12-47-30 PDT Michèle Thibeau I'm going to edit the document as there were a couple of things to tweak. Then perhaps we'll let folks know it's been updated to see if there's any other feedback. I'll have to review what else was suggested by Mihaela about the lime instance. I've recently seen and answered several surveys at work using lime, so I think it's something to stick with and explore. Funny how that works. 2019-04-14 12-34-08 PDT Michèle Thibeau [ ](https://chat.inkscape.org/direct/SrrReal?msg=wGZi8j6mtmvwTyjzt) And some of those that have been abandoned, perhaps only for now, but for a number of months. This is also helpful insight into priorities or changing priorities or processes. () 2019-04-14 12-03-02 PDT Michèle Thibeau Working on getting my first writing up on the web site. This meant that I had to work on chat with Maren to figure out lots of stuff I didn't know (about stuff I didn't know). She was so patient and we both have a sense of humour, so we figured it out. Since then, she's worked, along with Mihaela, to help me learn how to do more stuff. Then they still help make sure things are good to go. That would be one example. ALSO! Bryce read my initial draft and I asked him questions and used his answers as quotes. This was essential as the subject matter was beyond my comprehension. It was a stretch goal... I called upon my skills as a journalist and my curiosity and my courage to get it done - thanks to the generosity and patience of the other team members. 2019-05-25 13-45-32 PDT Michèle Thibeau Hi SrrReal! Just wanted to see how you're doing and how things are going on your end. 2019-04-14 11-12-49 PDT Michèle Thibeau 8-) 2019-04-14 10-58-47 PDT Michèle Thibeau I can add that among the first people, some voices, I met and interacted with were Ryan, Brynn, prkos, Tim and Maren and Doctormo and Bryce... it took me a while to find my place as there was less structure and I was new to the open-source environment - not new to virtual teams, but used to much more structure. 2019-04-14 12-42-04 PDT Michèle Thibeau You're very welcome. It was my pleasure. I am eager to see your work - hopefully we'll be able to read your writing and learn lots! If you need any more help, just let me know. 2019-04-14 11-28-23 PDT Michèle Thibeau It's a give and take. It's a team and sometimes you have to understand what's going on above and beyond a simple aversion to using a spreadsheet. Now I'd just put together the spreadsheet, which I'll do when we get to more advanced campaigns. I've grown in understanding how to interact and contribute here. Lots more learning, I am sure. However, I understand lots more and know that my contributions advance things - because they are collaborations - parts of a bigger whole. 2019-04-14 12-39-42 PDT Michèle Thibeau and Tim!! 2019-04-14 12-21-35 PDT Michèle Thibeau Yes, which is terrific! I am so glad. 2019-04-14 11-22-03 PDT Michèle Thibeau This led to other missions, such as me trying to figure out how to better organize writing content and the process. Attempting to wrangle how to work in an open source environment is a good project. Attempting to introduce an open source doc - a spreadsheet - launched tons of discussion. I decided to see this as "a whole lotta love here" and said so. I embarked upon a learning curve to work on collaborating to create the content repo - and a system for Vectors and content - and am still working on collaborating and learning with each new day here. I love it! Being in the weeds and holding a global perspective, eager to work where I can. I began as a developer - and now have maintainer access for the content repo. Lately I've begun to help with posting tweets, and so I've been given access to that platform to help. An awesome responsibility. One - all of them - I take seriously. 2019-04-14 10-52-06 PDT Michèle Thibeau Sorry! Former journalist... sure! We can chat this way. 2019-04-14 12-32-13 PDT Michèle Thibeau Great question! I'd say that those of us here or who have interacted with team members would see these values. People who know team members within the community might as well. Not so sure that we've tried or have been able to communicate it broadly. I welcome your insight and your research into this team, project, to better understand the global view. Your perspective is important in the evolution of the team, also as a snapshot of how and how we got here. Users who have sought help and found it here or on social media (particularly FB) would have received support based on those values. Some have contributed either to the project financially or otherwise once learning more about it - that we're volunteers - or to thank the community for its support. Other than that, I am not sure we're visible. Maybe that's okay, too. Different people play different roles and this team is growing - which is good - and so the way we collaborate will have to grow and evolve too in order to continue to get things done. This might seem like a disconnected segue. I see it as people seeing the values here and choosing to stay or not because of them. I believe that others are seeking similar safe places to grow and contribute and feel like respectful beings on this planet. Hope that answers your question! 2019-04-14 11-31-13 PDT Michèle Thibeau It's important to give back. This is my way of serving Inkscape for all it has and continues to give to me. 2019-05-25 13-46-34 PDT Michèle Thibeau I hope you're well. Sometimes things take a bit longer than we'd like to get off the ground. Been busy on my end here, and so less active to get in there. Looking forward to catching up and to seeing if we can get the survey on the agenda for the next meeting. Have a great weekend! 2019-04-14 12-38-35 PDT Michèle Thibeau Jabiertxof 2019-04-14 11-42-52 PDT Michèle Thibeau I feel like I am on a weird roll... 8-) 2019-04-14 11-30-40 PDT Michèle Thibeau The idea is that we need some structures in place in order to advance coherently. In order to share the project and woo others to come and join. No one else will write articles within an issue. I am so done with that. Instead of rebelling, I politely explained that it was not pleasant... and so there was a genuine interest in developing something that worked. This is what I love about this team - this project. We're a bunch of problem solvers who speak so many languages, hold so many points of view on so many topics (I am sure), who come together to keep the lights on here and serve users and each other with such passion, patience and humour. 2019-04-14 12-20-01 PDT Michèle Thibeau Things change because someone has a challenge, sees a challenge or sees one coming down the pipe. There are all sorts of discussions, chats or other. Depending on who is involved, things move forward with different tools, speeds and stuff. 2019-04-14 12-22-32 PDT Michèle Thibeau The repo was meant for stuff other than code - docs, infographics, images, and such to do with promotion. 2019-04-14 11-12-47 PDT Michèle Thibeau Okay, math is not my strong point! But I can imagine?? 2019-04-14 11-26-34 PDT Michèle Thibeau Yes, I wanted to use a spreadsheet to collect information for a social media campaign... since folks here are less used to that - and so didn't have an understanding of why I would suggest that - they were immediately not in agreement. Then we looked at ways of adding a doc sharing piece on here... which turned into using the power of Gitlab, which I agreed to do vs. disturbing the Force. 8-) 2019-04-14 12-38-10 PDT Michèle Thibeau Prkos, Maren, doctormo, brynn, Chris, Ryan, Bryce... 2019-04-14 12-47-48 PDT Michèle Thibeau Okay, catch you a little later or during the week! 2019-04-14 12-46-06 PDT Michèle Thibeau I'll aim to look at your survey a little later this evening, my time. Meanwhile, I am going to have to head off for a bit to get other stuff done. I look forward to collaborating with you on many more issues / projects. Enjoy the rest of your day/evening! 2019-04-14 11-59-02 PDT Michèle Thibeau There's a good dose of patience, too. We're all volunteers, and so we have to learn how best to work with each other and be grateful for what the other can make or do in the time they have. And at the same time seek to demonstrate how best we can improve on our collaborations without offending each other, but keeping it real. 2019-04-14 11-57-42 PDT Michèle Thibeau Is it because we chat? Is it because we don't have in-dept personal relationships? I don't know. I know more about a few people on here. When people are nice to each other and help each other, there's a bond that's created. Friendship or kinship or respect to enable us all to achieve the goals of the project. I might be naive. Likely. I'll continue to use that to see the world I see and carry on helping here. It's not all rosey. It's just real(ity). 2019-04-14 11-47-38 PDT Michèle Thibeau That's honestly the heart and the hub of this community - the power of open source that stretches across the planet! 2019-04-14 11-22-28 PDT Michèle Thibeau Yes - this was my first article - collaboration - with Vectors and Inkscape, beyond retweeting stuff. 2019-04-14 12-08-03 PDT Michèle Thibeau Another would be when some of the team members were in Pasadena for the SCaLE conference and before that the hackfest. I had been following along from here, as I could not get there. We're working on getting more remote opportunities to collaborate, but we're not there yet. I noticed that we had not been able to get any social media together for this conference. I had started, there was a plan. When I spotted Bryce there and reached out, he went and collected some pics and I wrote some tweets and he said yep, and so I posted them through my account. They gained some traction and Ryan shared them via Inkscape's account. I did the same thing with the Bug Migration Game... trying to see opportunities to help and share. I feel like Chris is taking a bigger role in being active on FB (he's not on Twitter) with this game. He's even seen how the content repo has enabled the Vectors to get stuff done - articles published, social out the door. He's started to open issues, too, especially when it was impossible to get things done without it. Someone suggested that the issue path was working for us. It's a learning process. It's exciting to see and be part of change that's leading to success. I am sure there are other ones, too, but these ones come to mind now. 2019-04-14 11-00-18 PDT Michèle Thibeau I can probably find that info for you. 2019-04-14 11-34-18 PDT Michèle Thibeau Absolutely! I still think this is the real story that needs to be told about Inkscape... thinking of ways to do so.

2020-10-06 12-07-24 PDT James I noticed you are a global monitor and I am at a complete loss. This is far from intuitive to me. 2020-10-06 12-07-00 PDT James I created an svg file, not realizing that it would not automatically create vectors. To further my problem...I used clip art, a personal file and lines and dots I drew myself. I would like to convert it to vectors, but I am unable to figure out how to use trace bitmap in the path folder to do all the vectors or at one time. Is this possible? 2020-10-06 15-09-44 PDT Moini Hi, please go through public support channels to get user support. Thanks!

2020-12-04 11-16-57 PST Mc January of which year ? 2020-12-04 11-25-11 PST Mc I think I can come to vectors to discuss the contest planned timeframe before 2021 2020-04-25 14-36-23 PDT Mc sure :D 2020-12-04 11-27-46 PST Mc TBF if he continues to act against what I consider the good health of the project that'll become what I want 2020-12-04 11-24-46 PST Mc no, rocketchat planned install date ^^ 2020-09-10 12-17-52 PDT Mc :/ 2020-10-27 10-16-15 PDT Mc yeah, I sent him an email quite recently and I had an answer after some time : he changed jobs, changed city, and lose a family member all at once, and is trying to find his new routine 2020-04-25 14-42-23 PDT Mc yeah I should be more relaxed next week (I hope!) 2020-12-04 11-30-32 PST Mc maybe 2020-12-04 11-29-42 PST Mc :/ 2020-12-04 11-25-40 PST Mc I ranted to doctormo only but I'm quite mad at how people run things 2019-10-12 07-11-36 PDT Mc I have a dilemma : I'd like us to take part in google code-in ( https://codein.withgoogle.com/ [high-school level program organized as a contest where we setup a large number of "tasks" ~2h each of various difficulty that students tackle. Could be code, doc, outreach, etc.]) because basically I've heard that it induces a boost in participation and attracts young long-term contributors to participating projects; however it is a *significant* investment : basically around 100hours/week on mentors (shared, not 100h each) during 8 or 9 weeks. The comments from #gsoc when I asked for advice were those : 23:02 < Mc> I'm unsure we (Inkscape) have enough man/womanpower to participate efficiently in google code-in... Do you have a rule of thumb on the number of mentors and of diversity of tasks that would be "nice to have" to try to participate efficiently ? 23:17 < terri> Mc: A few of us were saying elsewhere that we'd want about 20 mentors and 100 tasks prepared in advance, but it depends on how much time your mentors have to dedicate. 23:17 < Mc> ok, 20 mentors is impossible, that clarifies it :p 23:18 < Mc> (100 tasks is clearly doable though) 23:18 < terri> I know people who do it with 3, but at least one of them has no other job for those 3 weeks. :) 23:19 < Mc> Dec2-Jan21 ? 23:20 < terri> *shrug* or whatever it was the year in question. no clue what they're doing this year. :) 23:20 < Mc> I mean, this year it looks like much more than three weeks 23:21 < terri> yeah, that's why I'd want 20 people if I were running it for my org. it's easy to burn out, and lots of folk travel/have family commitments/etc. in that time frame. 23:21 < Mc> (8 weeks ?) 23:21 < fundamental> It's impressive that there are enough open source projects which can deadicate that level of resources 23:21 < terri> maybe I'm just mis-remembering how many weeks it was, though. 23:25 < terri> Mc: That said, that's *my* rule of thumb for a pretty wide umbrella, where we'd need different people for differnet parts of the project. If you've got a smaller subset but they're able to handle more tasks and are more available in that time... well, as I said, it *can* be done with 3 if you're willing to commit to a very high level of activity! 23:26 < terri> It might be better to try to guesstimate how many hours people can put in rather than how many people. 23:27 < terri> 20 people x 5 hours/week versus 10 putting in 10 hours each, or some mix of both. 23:28 < Mc> Ah yeah I can probably commit 3 hours a day most days 23:34 < Mc> 100h/wk would be your rough time estimate (after the first week(s), I guess) ? 23:35 < terri> yeah, something like that. you want "someone's going to be able to evaluate any student's task within a couple of hours" coverage 23:36 < terri> Since it's a contest, students get super nervous if they have to wait too long for task evals, and they can't accept a new task until their existing one is okayed. 23:38 -!- mode/#gsoc [+o meflin] by ChanServ Day changed to 12 oct. 2019 08:56 < PulkoMandy> hi Mc, I think the 20 people and about 100 tasks estimate is correct. However, remember that a part of this can be non-technical (both the tasks and the people). In our case at Haiku we have maybe 3 or 4 core devs mentoring in GCI, and most of our mentors are users or former GCI contestants who are not otherwise involved with the project, they do the 1st level support to the student and know when a particular task needs a more technical 08:56 < PulkoMandy> person to review it. So basically you may need to be a bit creative with how you find mentors for this I think if we include vectors and usual community members we can get to the right number of involved people ( Me, Jabier, Tav, doctormo, ede123, nathan, RdH, NPJ2000, Thomas Holder, CRogers, Maren, Tim, Michele, Mihaela, Ryan, Tedg, Lazur, Brynn, maybe Scislac and bryce ) to not burnout anyone (but me :P) and get a decent number of tasks across the areas of the program (code; documentation/training; outreach;QA;Design) but the bad thing is the timing : 8 weeks in Dec+Jan is basically when we wanted to focus on pre+post-release stuff so it's very badly timed for us (and it's yearly so if we want to try, it would be in a year); what do you think ? 2020-09-10 12-17-58 PDT Mc Hope he'll be alright 2019-10-05 10-50-42 PDT Mc OCAL: https://marc.jeanmougin.fr/share/all2.tgz 2020-04-25 14-40-41 PDT Mc ^^ 2020-10-27 10-17-10 PDT Mc he plans to come back "pretty soon" 2020-09-10 04-03-18 PDT Moini Just in case someone asks about Bryce, I think he's got other things on his mind currently than Inkscape, he's worried the wildfires will come nearer and he'll need to evacuate. 2020-12-04 11-32-00 PST Moini causally. 2020-12-04 11-27-33 PST Moini I don't want him to step back, but to responsibly deal with limited time availability. 2020-12-04 11-24-29 PST Moini About screen contest start? 2020-09-10 04-03-52 PDT Moini The arrow tip is where he lives. 2020-10-27 10-16-41 PDT Moini Merci! 2020-04-25 14-42-47 PDT Moini (for me, too) 2020-12-04 11-25-33 PST Moini Yeah. Bryce is afraid that people want to take responsibility from him. 2020-12-04 11-31-53 PST Moini I know he does, I just don't know if they are related :) 2020-10-27 11-10-05 PDT Moini Sorry for the pling :) Hoping things will settle down for Patrick quickly, as much as that is possible. 2020-09-10 04-06-17 PDT Moini Currently he's outside all warning zones. 2020-10-26 06-56-57 PDT Moini (ha, I just checked his profile on inkscape.org - Martin's spyware tells me Patrick has visited the website yesterday) 2020-12-04 11-28-21 PST Moini I can understand that view. 2020-12-04 11-27-42 PST Moini Which can mean to delegate. 2020-10-26 06-54-59 PDT Moini Hi Marc, do you know anything about why Patrick isn't here anymore? I thought he'd just be on vacation, but this is so long already... 2019-10-12 17-01-31 PDT Moini Mmmh. I have serious doubts we'd be able to do that with that set of contributors only. Better ask someone else, too, they might be more optimistic :) You, Jabier and Patrick will be quite busy with the release fixes. NPJ2000 is nice, but I'm not sure he's able to be of much help as a mentor... , Chris is chronically unavailable, just like Mihaela and Ryan (basically, they only come to the meetings and only occasionally are able to do what they signed up for), Michèle has a new job (same employer), but might be more available soon, maybe. Tim is already doing quite a lot, and often is unavailable unexpectedly, because of various family (health) issues. I don't trust myself to have the patience and time it takes, release stuff is enough for me. Brynn wants to reduce the things she does (e.g. she's going to stop moderating forums/galleries, closing her forum, and generally wants to do less). Bryce is kind of ... gone. Ted, Josh, Nathan, Martin, Lazur and Thomas, maybe ecke, too, might be the best candidates who could be able to invest some time. Btw. where does the number 100 for the number of tasks come from? Instructions for organizations are a bit scarce, I couldn't find anything useful. 2020-09-10 04-03-34 PDT Moini screenshot_2020-09-10_13-01-07.png (https://chat.inkscape.org/file-upload/pHHGbiRm6R7yNsiwS/screenshot_2020-09-…) 2020-10-26 06-58-42 PDT Moini So at least he's alive and able to visit websites. Seems we don't need to worry after all. 2020-09-10 04-04-32 PDT Moini Wanted to let you know, because I intend to go off-Inkscape-line for a few days (except for reporting bugs, I suppose). Kielux preparations :) 2020-12-04 11-29-22 PST Moini Still hope he'll understand that we don't hate him, just want things to be dealt with. Up to now, I seem to have failed doing that. 2020-04-25 14-42-36 PDT Moini It's something to look forward to ;-) 2020-12-04 11-30-25 PST Moini (that's a guess) 2020-04-25 14-41-52 PDT Moini I was thinking of after 1.0, when things relax for you a bit. 2020-04-25 14-40-25 PDT Moini Thanks! I'm getting so many positive replies (that's cool), in the end we may need an extra contributor to turn them into a series :) 2020-12-04 11-25-48 PST Moini I only want him to take on his responsibility... 2020-04-25 14-40-42 PDT Moini So, no hurry for you, the form is online until October. 2019-10-05 12-41-46 PDT Moini Merci beaucoup! Downloading from your link now. 2020-04-25 14-26-29 PDT Moini I know you don't have a lot of time, and you've already given an interview - but maybe if you find some time later, we could have our own interview with you? The form's website is even in French ;-) https://framaforms.org/inkscape-contributor-interview-1587833730 2020-09-10 04-05-23 PDT Moini (url is https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/6329d5e4e13748b9b9f7f33f06a3c376/ ) 2020-12-04 11-24-56 PST Moini ah... :-/ 2020-12-04 11-29-48 PST Moini He's taking it personally, probably because he feels bad about not being able to do more. 2020-12-04 11-27-04 PST Moini He fears we want to get rid of him and sees this as a threat. I'm not good enough at making it clear to him that that's not what people want. Or at least, I hope that's not what people want.

2020-10-13 12-40-27 PDT Mc git grep is magic 2020-10-13 12-53-23 PDT Mc (my thought process when I posted the issue was "heh, that does not really work, let's fix it" -> "that code makes no sense. Wait, no, these options make no sense. Mmmmh... what could make sense here ? Oh, we have ux folks. Let's ask them") 2020-10-13 12-50-21 PDT Mc but even then, I'm like "Hello I'm one of the most active inkscape dev around, I've been using inkscape for 10 years and I do say that this tiny thing miiight need a rethinking" nd the answer is like "nope. works fine" when 30 seconds of testing (just 1/ change to another palette than the default 2/ try anything) show there is something horribly wrong :p 2020-10-13 12-38-38 PDT Mc general advice : 1/ try to look for a word that's not common, and present in the surroundings of what you're looking for -> here I will use "Wrap" 2/ have a general guess at where it is -> it's in the user interface, so we'll look in src/ui/ 3/ git grep '"Wrap"' -> ``` ~/inkscape/src/ui$ git grep '"Wrap"' dialog/swatches.cpp: //TRANSLATORS: "Wrap" indicates how colour swatches are displayed dialog/swatches.cpp: Glib::ustring wrap_label(C_("Swatches","Wrap")); ``` 4/ -> here you go! In that file you'll find that the options are linked to some "_holder->setStyle(...)" calls, so you have to fgind what _holder is. 5/ in swatches.h (the corresponding header file) you'll find it's a PreviewHolder 6/ (but we don't really care ! wer could just git grep ::setStyle -> ``` ~/inkscape/src/ui$ git grep ::setStyle previewholder.cpp:PreviewHolder::setStyle(UI::Widget::PreviewSize size, widget/style-swatch.cpp:void StyleSwatch::setStyle(SPCSSAttr *css) widget/style-swatch.cpp:void StyleSwatch::setStyle(SPStyle *query) ``` 7/ code is in that file :) 2020-10-13 12-45-04 PDT Mc As a side note, I still find that what those two dropdowns do is very unintuitive in general, which is the reason I posted in the ux tracker... I wnated to prompt reflexions about "does anyone put a border ? so do we need that option ?" "If options do nothing, why do we display them ?" "can anyone use the swatches when they are 2 pixels wide ?" "why do the « width » change, change the height ?" and the fact that the answer was mostly "oh everything is fine, here is an ugly squared UI with sliders that adresses none of your points" made me quite sad 2020-10-13 12-56-09 PDT Mc :) 2020-10-13 12-49-38 PDT anonym_i_ous (ref: ux#51) 2020-10-13 12-55-17 PDT anonym_i_ous (continued) but then again, as i have some doubts if people actually change the chip/tile size, i doubt that not closing this would become unwanted (for example after changing the pallete to smth else). 2020-10-13 12-52-35 PDT anonym_i_ous maybe 2020-10-13 11-23-54 PDT anonym_i_ous can u guide me where i can find the code location of the palette options?? 2020-10-13 12-52-18 PDT anonym_i_ous also, one more thing can be improved in ux. that changing the options shouldnt make the menu to disappear. 2020-10-13 12-39-18 PDT anonym_i_ous niice. thanks a lot 2020-10-13 12-51-12 PDT anonym_i_ous haha, yeah, right 2020-10-13 12-48-39 PDT anonym_i_ous not blaming or anyth, but he is a ux/ui person. and so... amh, when we work too much with something, it starts to penetrate in other things as well right!!? i think thats what happened there with him. 2020-10-13 11-23-12 PDT anonym_i_ous hello there 2020-10-13 12-40-10 PDT anonym_i_ous i thought there was some magic way :sweat_smile: 2020-10-13 12-48-21 PDT anonym_i_ous hahahaha. lol yeah i can agreee to that. 2020-10-13 12-40-41 PDT anonym_i_ous (cntd...) like click the action/button and the called command will show up - say in command prompt somehow 2020-10-13 12-56-05 PDT anonym_i_ous yeah, i agree that it would need much thought.

2020-10-04 09-31-15 PDT Mc :/ 2020-05-31 08-39-48 PDT Mc ah, sorry to hear that 2020-10-04 08-54-55 PDT Mc (or a book about geometry, maybe) 2020-10-04 09-01-30 PDT Mc (if you're more interested into robotics than in geometry, I can understand that :D ) 2020-10-04 09-14-18 PDT Mc (from https://www.topuniversities.com/student-info/student-finance/how-much-does-… "Tuition fees for “non-consecutive” master’s degrees, for those who have gained their bachelor’s degree elsewhere in the world, vary between universities and may be around €20,000 (~US$24,400) per year at public institutions") 2020-10-04 09-09-57 PDT Mc that's a new law from last year that introduced this price difference (3770€/yr), the law was heavily criticized (basically as an anti-african law as many courses are in french and most non-EU people coming were from northern africa), the law was called by the minister "welcome to france", not even ironically 2020-05-31 07-19-33 PDT Mc As we approach the end of the community bonding period, I wanted to check with you how it went for you 2020-10-04 09-11-58 PDT Mc masters in germany is ~20k€ 2020-10-04 09-16-22 PDT Mc I did TCS (parallel algoirithms) 2020-10-04 09-23-41 PDT Mc so, lots of things :D 2020-10-04 08-50-43 PDT Mc I don't know how much is asked from a MS thesis (it depends a lot on the countries) 2020-10-04 09-12-54 PDT Mc yeah 2020-05-31 08-40-00 PDT Mc hope you'll get better 2020-06-17 10-09-22 PDT Mc (if you prefer to have everyone, you can write to all, whatever you are more comfortable with) 2020-10-04 08-56-07 PDT Mc ideally the people most apt to tell you what the state of the art is would be people doing research on geometric algorithms ^^ 2020-10-04 08-59-12 PDT Mc well, that makes sense :D 2020-10-04 09-41-04 PDT Mc not sure I'll have the time, but you can try to @ me 2020-10-11 11-53-49 PDT Mc ok :) 2020-10-04 08-56-57 PDT Mc maybe I can find some at my uni or at a friend's uni 2020-10-04 09-30-33 PDT Mc (btw, I saw that you attempted to join the dev meeting, did you have problems to join ?) 2020-05-09 14-19-04 PDT Mc Yes, that sounds good :) 2020-10-04 09-39-29 PDT Mc (oh, btw, was anything still needed to merge the documentation of your gsoc ?) 2020-10-04 09-29-47 PDT Mc what's even more amazing is how people sometimes manage work together to collaborate productively into doing so (not everyone doing their stuff by themselves) 2020-06-17 10-24-30 PDT Mc group chat is fine 2020-10-04 09-07-09 PDT Mc (for master) 2020-10-04 09-37-28 PDT Mc sounds like a great project anyway :) 2020-10-04 09-38-41 PDT Mc you never know :) 2020-10-04 09-20-38 PDT Mc I'm employed in a public uni as a research engineer, which means I spend some of my time doing sysadmin stuff (installing and maintaining sdervices and machines for researchers, maintain a visioconference server (the one we used for inkscape/gsoc) ), giving lectures (I did one about hadoop last year), but also have free time to work on e.g. Inkscape, and can work on research projects with a big data research team; and I got funded to make a MOOC on edX about "Contributing to free software" 2020-10-04 09-00-51 PDT Mc and you cannot switch ? or is that a completely different cursus ? 2020-08-08 05-55-30 PDT Mc he should 2020-10-04 09-07-25 PDT Mc https://www.campusfrance.org/en/tuition-fees-France 2020-10-04 09-15-58 PDT Mc It would not surprise me if it was free in some landers and paying in others 2020-10-04 09-14-58 PDT Mc I don't know much about the german system 2020-07-31 23-29-50 PDT Mc * the ability to very quickly speak to almost any other open source project, and to my friends, within one program that just requires a terminal open * not hidden in a browser tab (I have ~4000 open browsers tabs) which just work to speak to Inkscape only and can play noise or notifications * much, much faster to read on any IRC client than on rocket chat (I can read ~ 50 lines on one window of IRC vs 10 lines on a Rocketchat window + I can go back on my history with 0 loading time and no weird scroller) 2020-10-04 09-36-01 PDT Mc the Deepak Agrawal one ? 2020-08-08 05-53-23 PDT Mc yes, I called him yesterday 2020-06-17 10-17-52 PDT Mc IMO one week is fine, but this will need to be agreed with the other mentors 2020-06-17 10-18-23 PDT Mc (it's 10% of the whole gsoc, after all^^) 2020-10-04 08-54-07 PDT Mc arxiv ? 2020-06-17 10-08-58 PDT Mc you can discuss it with me if you want 2020-10-04 09-06-56 PDT Mc 243€ / year + some additional fees 2020-10-04 08-50-16 PDT Mc mmh 2020-10-04 09-00-22 PDT Moazin Pick* 2020-10-04 09-35-26 PDT Moazin I'll be helping them write the software for it. 2020-10-04 07-03-24 PDT Moazin Do you think there is a possibility for an MS Thesis on the topic? Building on the work and improving it? 2020-10-04 09-17-44 PDT Moazin Great! :-) And what's your area of work these days? 2020-10-04 09-31-01 PDT Moazin I had a really lame internet connection 2020-10-04 09-02-13 PDT Moazin Specially those that run embedded Linux 2020-07-31 07-39-11 PDT Moazin Mc I had a question. It's not really important, just curious. 😃 What are the advantages to using IRC over RocketChat? I mean what makes you prefer it 2020-10-04 09-12-35 PDT Moazin Are you talking just about the tuition fee? 2020-10-04 09-00-19 PDT Moazin Yep. I graduated in Electrical Engineering. At that time I thought it was the best choice for me as I was confused about which area to oick. 2020-10-04 09-37-18 PDT Moazin It's a different one, not much info on the internet 2020-10-04 09-01-38 PDT Moazin Haha 2020-10-04 09-01-20 PDT Moazin With a few bridge courses, one should be able to switch 2020-10-04 09-35-08 PDT Moazin Some of my friends started with a design and got it to the prototyping phase. 2020-05-31 07-43-28 PDT Moazin Hi Marc. I sorry that due to some gastrointestinal health issues I have been very disturbed in the past few weeks and couldn't do all the things that I planned to do within this period. I did spend some time in chat helping out few people which I very much enjoyed. I got checked recently and am recovering well. Hoping to cover up for those things as well as get started on the project. 2020-10-04 09-01-50 PDT Moazin At the moment, I'm really interested in embedded systems 2020-10-04 09-30-06 PDT Moazin yep definitely 2020-05-09 13-58-37 PDT Moazin Hi Marc. I wanted to start discussing a few things regarding what I plan to do during the community bonding period and the direction of the project. I was thinking of discussing it over email with all the mentors in CC. Does that sound good? 2020-10-04 09-34-47 PDT Moazin So when the pandemic happened, the country's higher leadership decided to ask the research and engineering students to build a ventilator device. 2020-10-04 08-59-32 PDT Moazin One big problem is that I'm not a CS graduate 2020-10-04 07-03-39 PDT Moazin You're also working in a university so I thought you'd have a better idea on this 2020-10-04 09-35-51 PDT Moazin Both the UI and the controller that'd run it 2020-10-04 09-12-27 PDT Moazin I'll explore more and if I'm sure the CG area is a good option for me, I'll probably ask you to find me people from academia that know the area well, but before that, I'd do my research first :-) 2020-10-04 09-01-57 PDT Moazin Programming small chips 2020-10-04 09-00-50 PDT Moazin I had interests in programming, but also in embedded systems, communication devices and robotics 2020-10-04 09-15-54 PDT Moazin No problem :-) Btw, what was your area of interest when you did your MS? 2020-10-04 09-40-32 PDT Moazin I'm still reviewing it, fixing typos, there are just a few files remaining to check. I'll do that within the week. Once that's done I'd really like it if someone can go through it for a review? 2020-06-17 10-07-09 PDT Moazin Hi Marc 2020-10-04 09-14-10 PDT Moazin https://www2.daad.de/deutschland/studienangebote/international-programmes/e… 2020-10-04 09-38-00 PDT Moazin Yeah, I don't see high chances of it making into a final product, it's a RnD project and I just see it as great experience. :-) 2020-10-04 09-26-50 PDT Moazin yep, yep, got it :-) 2020-06-17 10-16-56 PDT Moazin You must be thinking what kind of a university does that, but that's the weird part of living in a country like Pakistan. They don't listen to us. 2020-06-17 10-08-08 PDT Moazin There is something I need to discuss about my GSoC project. So I was wondering if I should discuss it with you here or make a group chat with other mentors as well. (It's not a technical matter) 2020-06-17 10-14-27 PDT Moazin To update on the project, I am done with the Simplify code which was the goal for the first two weeks. In this week and the next 2 I am supposed to work on Path -> Digraph -> Path parts. 2020-10-04 09-17-49 PDT Moazin At your day job I mean 2020-10-04 09-21-57 PDT Moazin That's nice :-) 2020-06-17 10-22-05 PDT Moazin So, I was thinking of working as much as I can for the next 2-3 days with GSoC (and hopefully make good progress). And taking time off for university work from 20 to 25 June to work on the thesis. Does that sound fine to you? 2020-06-17 10-13-33 PDT Moazin So the thing is as you would probably know I am in the senior year of my university. (I was supposed to have graduated by June). Due to COVID, the university was closed and then they started some online education system too. The exams and my thesis were scheduled for later. However, suddenly they sent us an email telling that we have to submit our thesis on 24th June and deliver a presentation on 29 June. It's very hard to manage this with GSoC. I was wondering if it would be possible to do reduced work for the next few days, I'll of course make up for it. I totally understand if this is not possible, in that situation I'll have to ask the university to give me an extension in the project which will have its own downsides. 2020-10-04 09-36-41 PDT Moazin Nah :D 2020-06-17 10-24-02 PDT Moazin Of course, that's important. 2020-10-04 09-30-16 PDT Moazin and Inkscape is a place where a lot of collaboration goes on 2020-10-04 09-33-49 PDT Moazin Btw, I've got a temporary job for a few months 2020-10-04 09-31-11 PDT Moazin (third world problems) 2020-10-04 09-25-39 PDT Moazin That's a really sweet way to put it :-) 2020-08-08 05-56-19 PDT Moazin All right :-) 2020-10-04 09-33-04 PDT Moazin Sometimes during the GSoC meetings, I'd have to switch between the two during the meeting. :-D 2020-10-04 08-59-01 PDT Moazin So when listing out areas where I do have some experience, my project immediately came to my mind 2020-10-04 09-30-49 PDT Moazin Yep I did 2020-10-04 09-24-42 PDT Moazin (My dad doesn't have a CS background, but I've explained him what OSS is :P) 2020-10-04 09-32-42 PDT Moazin But often times both will betray me 2020-10-04 09-06-44 PDT Moazin Most institutes have very less/no fee 2020-10-11 11-32-18 PDT Moazin Hey Marc, you often encourage me to talk in the meetings and I really feel great about that. I'm totally comfortable in doing so, the reason is technical. You might have noticed me mention that my headset broke in the final GSoC meeting. I ordered new ones and they are stuck in transit for over a month. I'm living with 6 other people in one two connected rooms so very noisy and laptop's battery is crap now so can't take it outside. I am using borrowed terrible quality IEMs whose audio input just sucks (so a bad idea to join with audio). Might try joining from phone next time. BBB is great on phone. 2020-06-17 10-24-21 PDT Moazin Should we start a group chat? Or would you prefer discussing this with them by yourself? 2020-10-04 09-18-21 PDT Moazin wow! You've landed a dream job 2020-06-17 10-19-51 PDT Moazin Yes, of course. 2020-10-04 09-08-02 PDT Moazin Yea I am non-EU :P 2020-10-04 09-07-36 PDT Moazin Yea that's more or less the same as Germany I guess 2020-10-04 09-32-32 PDT Moazin Internet is very unstable where I live. I keep a 3G connection on phone as a backup and a DSL is the primary WiFi for home. 2020-10-04 09-28-27 PDT Moazin It's a huge effort, I'm amazed at how volunteer work can create and develop something as great as Inkscape. 2020-07-31 23-58-16 PDT Moazin Thanks for answering btw. Makes a lot of sense 2020-10-04 07-02-56 PDT Moazin Mc, there is something I wanted to discuss with you 2020-10-04 09-39-21 PDT Moazin Yea. 2020-10-04 09-41-13 PDT Moazin Yep sure 2020-07-31 23-57-36 PDT Moazin 4000 open tabs! Woah. How much RAM needed to support that? 2020-08-08 05-53-49 PDT Moazin I was worried 2020-10-04 09-10-34 PDT Moazin Oh I see 2020-10-04 09-06-24 PDT Moazin How's the situation of graduate studies in France btw? They're really cheap in Germany 2020-10-04 09-24-01 PDT Moazin It actually surprises me how developers in the Inkscape community take so much time out to work on it, specially when day jobs and when you're not getting paid for it. Whenever I discuss my project and Inkscape with my dad, he often brings up this question, how are they all working for free? What do they get in return? :D I do understand that it feels great to contribute to software that you like, for sure. But still, taking so much time out is a huge commitment 2020-10-04 09-41-04 PDT Moazin Thanks for all the info btw :-) 2020-08-08 05-54-28 PDT Moazin Will he be joining us today for the presentation? 2020-10-04 08-57-11 PDT Moazin That'd would be really great 2020-10-04 09-01-03 PDT Moazin I can switch I think. A lot of people do. 2020-10-04 07-03-02 PDT Moazin You know my livarot project well 2020-10-04 09-03-56 PDT Moazin In order to be able to do research in the area of CG, I'd need to get good background in it first 2020-10-04 08-53-35 PDT Moazin Where can I find the state of the art? Cgal? 2020-10-04 08-56-41 PDT Moazin Got it. Thanks :-) 2020-10-04 08-57-33 PDT Moazin I'm actually preparing for MS applications and I'm exploring potential research interests for myself 2020-08-08 01-48-20 PDT Moazin Have you heard from Link Mauve recently?
