2019-12-21 18-47-27 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>Whatever the resolution you printed the material it was amzaing.
2020-01-03 10-36-27 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>I will be at work for the next 6 hours. And I am moving houses this weekend... but maybe we can talk later! Let me know how can I help you help me. :smiley:
2019-12-21 18-24-11 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>I remember that when this survey was publicized it was on the forums of the inkscape project (at that time it was another forum, an older one)
2019-12-22 13-13-08 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>Oh ok Maybe I can ask Matin then!
2019-12-21 13-42-20 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>Hi Michele, aboslutely! The link to the answers of the first inkscape survey I ran (independently) can be found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_CAa-tTwTEDhyD4d6ZBTZsU8PHJ_vKS8gERRJTgbUlM/edit?usp=sharing
2019-12-21 18-52-27 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>Were you born here? It is a beautiful country you have
2019-12-21 18-44-51 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>Sweet! Everyone matters in the team and everyone's contribution makes a difference. I am a strong believer of this thought
2019-12-21 17-07-32 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>Sounds good Michele. Thank you for taking your time to work on this. Thanks!
2019-12-21 18-42-38 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>I use Inkscape since 2007 but I am not sure I am an advanced user... but I can always lean
2019-12-21 18-26-56 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>I would love to help recruit more volunteers to help translate the official tutorials of the project.
2019-12-21 18-47-50 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>What is it that you do on your work?
2019-12-21 18-36-46 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>I would love to make a survey more focused in the usability of the application and how people use inkscape. What they like about it, what they love about it, and what they don't like and what they hate.
2019-12-21 18-47-12 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>I replaced all of the raster graphics for EMF and WMF graphics (sadly the only vector formats accepted by MS Powerpoint 2016) in their material
2019-12-21 18-51-41 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>Are you also in Canada? No way. I am in Vancouver
2019-12-21 18-59-08 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>sound like a good plan! Will ping him for sure. :upside_down:
2019-12-21 18-54-47 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>People forget French is Latin based / latin rooted lol
2019-12-21 18-27-18 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>No problem. Feel free to share. Not a problem.
2019-12-21 18-53-54 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>We have been living in your beautiful country for almost 4 years now.
2019-12-21 18-27-05 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>And more people to help code and to triage bugs...
2019-12-21 18-23-39 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>Yeah, MS Excel is a little bit easier to use and polished... but proprietary, sadly.
2019-12-21 13-42-26 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>Let me know if you need anything else!
2019-12-21 18-49-21 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>Only one company. What is economic development?
2019-12-21 18-25-14 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>Because inkscape folks were not in the mood to publicize anything they kindly asked me to state that it was an independent survey. So I did!
2019-12-21 18-40-37 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>We could even try to do a simple and small survey to ask users if they think the next version is better of worse than the before, and why. (next = 1.0)
2019-12-21 18-46-43 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>I did this when I was working for a company that used this system
2020-01-01 20-27-17 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>Hi Michele, happy new year!
2019-12-21 18-46-32 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>About the articles you mentioned (in the beginning of the year I think) to write different material I remember I said I could help write an article about how to mimic (or recreate) an interface of an insurance system (Duck Creek). It is very used in US and Canada.
2019-12-21 18-49-53 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>Maybe we can think of something for next year...
2019-12-21 18-40-06 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>Yes! Absolutely. Onboarding survey would be superb. We need to make sure to have new users learning and sticking with the application and with the community.
2020-12-05 17-14-47 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>Hi Michele, thank you very much for your time and honesty (which to me is the purest form of affection). I am now with my family in São Paulo, (which is both the name of the city and the state I am in right now) in Brazil, my home country. After spending 4 years in Canada without leaving the country I got absolutely homesick and could not avoid any longer to come visit my family.
2019-12-21 18-36-12 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>I guess with this new survey, now backed by the people of the project, we could try to identify if we could get more people to translate the program to another languages (maybe the ones that we have more users and are not fully translated yet) And also try to understand how we can get more people to collaborate with trnanslations, onboarding new users. triaging bugs, spreading the word or with money.
2019-12-21 18-24-39 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>I believe that we publicized the survey for, 7 to 10 days. Something like that.
2019-12-21 18-37-35 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>And this is not necessarily true! hehe
2019-12-21 18-38-25 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>I would love to pay for features in this app. And one I would particularly pay for would be to be compatible with printing, especially CMYK
2019-12-21 18-57-20 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>Let me know what articles/tutorials/manuals you are thinking and we can work to make them happen. What would be priority.
2019-12-22 13-13-14 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>Thanks for the directions. :thumbsup:
2019-12-22 11-49-37 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>Hi my friend, I tried to reach Bryce but I could not find him in this chat. I am not too sure how to go into the IRC chat (which is the one I believe he is). So I am not sure how I can share your nice charts with him!
2020-01-01 20-27-28 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>I wish you have a very positive, healthy and energetic year!
2019-12-21 18-37-19 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>But it seems that the project, with some reason I admit, is cautious to go this direction beacuse a lot of users might understand action will be done in this direction.
2019-12-21 18-41-27 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>I got absolutely thrilled when I got to know that themes was going to be implemented in inkscape project. I was the one that vocalized this need and I was so glad and happy when I realized that they listened to me!
2019-12-21 18-25-46 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>Yeah. Me too... I use MS Office when it is available and LibreOffice when there is no other option.
2019-12-21 18-49-36 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>What would be the language of the articles? And what kind of articles?
2019-12-21 18-42-18 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>Really? I am also a Windows user. Let me know if you need help to test anything.
2019-12-21 18-56-48 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>I will have to go soon...
2019-12-21 18-47-17 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>it became super great!
2019-12-21 18-43-16 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>:slight_smile:
2019-12-21 18-47-42 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>(But the final size of the files were ridiculous I must confess.... 54 MB per file)
2020-12-10 07-12-18 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>You are such a sweetheart. The world needs more pacific and diplomatic people like yourself Michele. Thank you for your assistance, kindness, and help with the Inkscape project!
2019-12-21 13-43-58 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>You too! Take care.
2019-12-21 18-53-37 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>I am a Brazilian.
2019-12-21 18-53-43 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>My wife and I are Brazilians.
2019-12-21 18-41-40 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>(themes = dark theme, light theme... symbolic icons)
2019-12-21 18-26-36 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>It just seems that inkscape folks are now eager to take this initiative forward. So I am very happy to be involved in all this.
2019-12-21 18-45-20 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>This is the type of thing that truly changes the world.
2019-12-21 18-56-56 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>but it was really good talking a little bit more with you Michele.
2020-01-01 20-28-09 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>Let me know what is it that you need from me to make the survey available in the Inkscape website.
2020-07-30 16-20-47 PDTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>Hello my dear friend! How are you doing these days? It is this Saturday, eh? At what time will the event start? Are you going? :-)
2019-12-21 18-33-58 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>Woa! Looks really nice. Thank you for this.
2019-12-21 18-28-24 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>Yay! great. Thank you for this. Merci
2019-12-21 18-53-34 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>I can still help with the manual/tutorial to help recreate a duck creek screen in inkscape and show the ins and outs of how to use it inside MS Powerpoint. Or even in LibreOffice Impress
2019-12-21 18-55-00 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>French, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian
2019-12-21 18-45-04 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>Thank you for caring for this project. I love it very much.
2019-12-21 18-26-05 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>Absolutely!
2020-12-05 17-16-00 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>I will be back to Canada next year around March 2021. I love this project but don't have time to contribute to it at the moment but I got super glad that the translation I did for the PT-BR language around DEC/2020 and JAN/2021 got accepted and merged for the 1.0 release.
2019-12-21 18-54-26 PSTVictor Westmann <victor.westmann@gmail.com>Latin roots.
2019-12-21 18-48-18 PSTMichèle Thibeau <zigzagmlt@sympatico.ca>Wow, sounds like your work helped lots of people and companies!
2019-12-21 18-54-17 PSTMichèle Thibeau <zigzagmlt@sympatico.ca>Awesome! I have some Brazilian friends here in Quebec, too. There's a Latin connection with the language afterall!
2019-12-22 12-01-30 PSTMichèle Thibeau <zigzagmlt@sympatico.ca>Did you have his email address? If not, I am sure if you message Martin in private he'd be able to assist you.
2020-07-30 15-07-25 PDTMichèle Thibeau <zigzagmlt@sympatico.ca>Hi Victor, I hope you're well! Are you going to come to the Team Vectors Day Hackfest on Saturday? It would be great to see you there! Take care.
2019-12-21 18-24-26 PSTMichèle Thibeau <zigzagmlt@sympatico.ca>I use a bit of both at home and work - proprietary at work
2019-12-21 18-48-55 PSTMichèle Thibeau <zigzagmlt@sympatico.ca>I'm in economic development and I have a small sideline in digital design work - that's where I use Inkscape and Gimp. Also write.
2020-01-03 00-32-07 PSTMichèle Thibeau <zigzagmlt@sympatico.ca>Perhaps we can touch base today - Friday - and I can show you how I add a document to the repository. There are instructions, however, I am not likely the best at explaining them to you. I can assure you that it's easier that making changes to an issue to update your survey. 'Been there, done that, asked for a repository!' 8-))
2019-12-21 18-44-07 PSTMichèle Thibeau <zigzagmlt@sympatico.ca>But let me at the task of writing an article, data wrangling, chairing a meeting, cheerleading the team or making a repeat pattern. I'm all over those tasks!
2019-12-21 18-58-41 PSTMichèle Thibeau <zigzagmlt@sympatico.ca>Have an awesome evening and weekend! Share those results with Bryce if you wish - if he's interested in sharing the data I can keep working on it.
2019-12-21 16-28-31 PSTMichèle Thibeau <zigzagmlt@sympatico.ca>Hi Victor, I've been playing with the data to pull out some bar charts - simple and quick - to look at the information we have on a high level. Will send them to you in a bit in an open office doc.
2019-12-21 18-29-17 PSTMichèle Thibeau <zigzagmlt@sympatico.ca>Victor W Inkscape survey data basic charts.pdf (https://chat.inkscape.org/file-upload/k9KMaM4zFeupwvetn/Victor%20W%20Inkscape%20survey%20data%20basic%20charts.pdf)
2019-12-21 18-28-02 PSTMichèle Thibeau <zigzagmlt@sympatico.ca>Let me send you the open source presentation document for your feedback. I am now trying to see if I can filter better, since the data is set up to be able to see across the variables - questions.
2019-12-21 18-38-36 PSTMichèle Thibeau <zigzagmlt@sympatico.ca>We might want to look at a strategy behind our potential for surveys... think about the broad picture. This would enable us to have some discussions and perhaps look at how we could roll out some standard surveys and perhaps other ones for those who were interested. Onboarding survey is needed. Someone had worked on one last year, but she has since moved on... I think part of it was that the survey did not move forward.
2019-12-21 18-43-01 PSTMichèle Thibeau <zigzagmlt@sympatico.ca>Thanks! I know Jabier was hoping to be able to have some testers as he tweaks stuff. You could let him know in a private message. He'd probably be happy!
2019-12-21 18-47-58 PSTMichèle Thibeau <zigzagmlt@sympatico.ca>That would be great! I've had less time over the past year. If you'd like to help with that project and organize folks to write articles or do tutorials, I'd be thrilled.
2019-12-21 18-45-52 PSTMichèle Thibeau <zigzagmlt@sympatico.ca>Thanks, Victor! You too! I agree with you and that's why I hang out here. It's a great community and one that makes me think about other things I do in my work life.
2020-12-05 17-55-51 PSTMichèle Thibeau <zigzagmlt@sympatico.ca>Congratulations on having your translation accepted for the 1.0 release. It was a big step and your help makes it even more international an enables more people to access a free tool to help them express their creativity. Looking forward to hearing from you again when you have a chance to say hello! Wishing you all the best this season and for 2021. Hope to collaborate once more when you find time in the future. Take care, and safe travels until next year.
2019-12-21 18-36-37 PSTMichèle Thibeau <zigzagmlt@sympatico.ca>Yes!
2019-12-21 18-43-21 PSTMichèle Thibeau <zigzagmlt@sympatico.ca>I am not an advanced learner! And realize that I am not that good with betas. 8-)
2019-12-21 18-58-10 PSTMichèle Thibeau <zigzagmlt@sympatico.ca>Okay, I'll dig up the issue that we had started around that to see where we're landed and we could look at working on proposing it at a future Vectors team meeting to get people thinking about it.
2019-12-21 18-51-34 PSTMichèle Thibeau <zigzagmlt@sympatico.ca>We have to wait till the new version of stuff gets released, but that means we can round up people who want to participate and then they can also help develop content with version 1.0 at the same time!
2019-12-21 18-29-06 PSTMichèle Thibeau <zigzagmlt@sympatico.ca>My pleasure. It will only let me add a PDF here, so just send me your comments, corrections, suggestions!
2019-12-22 12-00-56 PSTMichèle Thibeau <zigzagmlt@sympatico.ca>Oh, if you go to the top-left side of this page and use the magnifying glass - search - you should be able to find him as a user and connect. If not, perhaps he's changed a setting.
2019-12-21 18-55-40 PSTMichèle Thibeau <zigzagmlt@sympatico.ca>I'm Acadian, so French-Canadian, but brought up mostly in English. I moved here and went back to school to improve my French. Now I live and work in both languages.
2019-12-21 18-51-02 PSTMichèle Thibeau <zigzagmlt@sympatico.ca>Yep, next year sounds good!
2019-12-21 18-27-20 PSTMichèle Thibeau <zigzagmlt@sympatico.ca>I could do a bit from French to English, but that's where my expertise would end.
2019-12-21 18-38-48 PSTMichèle Thibeau <zigzagmlt@sympatico.ca>Oh, my, CMYK printing is on my wish list as a digital artist!
2019-12-21 18-52-09 PSTMichèle Thibeau <zigzagmlt@sympatico.ca>Yes! I am in Quebec City! Cool, I've been to Vancouver only once.
2019-12-21 18-41-53 PSTMichèle Thibeau <zigzagmlt@sympatico.ca>There's a lot of listening! I am curious to try out a dark format with 1.0
2019-12-21 18-26-59 PSTMichèle Thibeau <zigzagmlt@sympatico.ca>Yes! And I am willing to look at the data, though perhaps others are too.
2019-12-22 13-25-04 PSTMichèle Thibeau <zigzagmlt@sympatico.ca>You're welcome!
2019-12-21 18-07-20 PSTMichèle Thibeau <zigzagmlt@sympatico.ca>Hi Victor, I have a couple of other questions for you... how was this survey shared with the public? More than one way? Also, what was the time frame? Thanks!
2019-12-21 18-54-25 PSTMichèle Thibeau <zigzagmlt@sympatico.ca>Glad to have you here!
2019-12-21 18-59-17 PSTMichèle Thibeau <zigzagmlt@sympatico.ca>8-)
2019-12-21 18-34-54 PSTMichèle Thibeau <zigzagmlt@sympatico.ca>You're welcome, Victor!
2019-12-21 18-53-06 PSTMichèle Thibeau <zigzagmlt@sympatico.ca>Yes, in Nova Scotia! I've been in Quebec over 20 years. It is beautiful indeed. Where are you originally from, Victor?
2019-12-21 18-25-56 PSTMichèle Thibeau <zigzagmlt@sympatico.ca>That's terrific of you! Though we have to get more professional and make use of data to help us get organized and grow!
2019-12-21 18-57-16 PSTMichèle Thibeau <zigzagmlt@sympatico.ca>We'll chat again!
2019-12-21 17-58-23 PSTMichèle Thibeau <zigzagmlt@sympatico.ca>My pleasure! I'm learning how to do this better, and so it's terrific to practice on new data sets, though Open docs' tool is not as refined as Excel. 8-((
2020-01-03 11-25-42 PSTMichèle Thibeau <zigzagmlt@sympatico.ca>Will do! Good luck with your move. I hope it went well!
2020-12-05 17-53-52 PSTMichèle Thibeau <zigzagmlt@sympatico.ca>Dear Victor, it is so good to have your news and to know you are well. I understand completely what it is like to be far away from family. Glad to know you're in your home country during this time and will be for the Holidays. Four years is a long time! You did it!
2020-01-03 00-30-46 PSTMichèle Thibeau <zigzagmlt@sympatico.ca>Hi Victor, Happy New Year to you, too! Wishing you much energy and continued enthusiasm for Inkscape and our team all together here! So glad you're here.
2019-12-21 13-43-48 PSTMichèle Thibeau <zigzagmlt@sympatico.ca>Awesome. Thanks, Victor! I am into looking at data. Have a great day@
2020-07-30 17-37-19 PDTMichèle Thibeau <zigzagmlt@sympatico.ca>Hi Victor, nice to hear from you. I'm doing well in my corner of the world. Wearing a mask when I step out for the few errands that are essential. This Saturday's session will start, as they all have and will, at 16:00 UTC, so 9 am your time in BC. I'll be there with bells on, as they say. We'll be talking about some data, too. I shared the results of your data with the members of the team working on the Website Next project and they found it helpful. Not sure if we'll share it more broadly, but I want you to know that it's helping us to gain insight into audiences and users. That said, we'll be talking about content, so if you're interested in writing or translating, drop by! Looking forward to "seeing" you there. Take care.
2019-12-21 18-50-53 PSTMichèle Thibeau <zigzagmlt@sympatico.ca>Working with communities, mostly in Quebec, Canada, to enhance their economic activity. Big for being on a team that works to help with revitalization, entrepreneurship and connecting employers with skilled workers. We work in English and French.
2019-12-21 18-41-36 PSTMichèle Thibeau <zigzagmlt@sympatico.ca>Yes, though that suvey will need to wait until the final version 1 is out and has been tweaked. I am trying to help Jabier with testing for Windows, but there are too many crashes to be able to do my art.
2019-12-21 18-57-05 PSTMichèle Thibeau <zigzagmlt@sympatico.ca>You, too, Victor!
