2020-06-06 09-51-09 PDT Martin Owens Oh they are official ;-) 2020-06-08 13-27-33 PDT Martin Owens Give me the link :metal: the one you want it linked to 2020-06-06 09-38-19 PDT Martin Owens That's a Free Software thing, where we use social media outposts (like facebook) to move users to us. But we don't use Free Software projects as an outlet to encourage people to join Facebook. 2020-06-06 09-57-07 PDT Martin Owens Yeah __that__, I'm ginning up enough confidence to purge that. I'd be good to have a new page to put the links. 2020-06-06 10-06-38 PDT Martin Owens (so much to do!) 2020-06-06 10-12-02 PDT Martin Owens :-D 2020-06-06 10-13-19 PDT Martin Owens The website needs to be upgraded from django 1.8 to 2.2... and that includes upgrading the django-cms versions. I tried to make a version withotu django-cms, but it floundered. 2020-06-06 10-11-59 PDT Martin Owens Now that is something that will win your all the brownie points. 2020-06-06 10-12-08 PDT Martin Owens Do you know django much at all? 2020-06-06 10-06-18 PDT Martin Owens Indeed we should! 2020-06-06 09-58-06 PDT Martin Owens Make an icon like one of those.(i.e. crap and old fashioned :-P) 2020-06-06 10-31-36 PDT Martin Owens Good you have Ubuntu, you'll need it (and python3 if you're using 18.04) for the website stuff. 2020-06-06 09-51-30 PDT Martin Owens It helps a lot 2020-06-06 10-18-02 PDT Martin Owens So cloning that git repository and then trying to follow the initialisation readme, is pretty much the bug. 2020-06-06 09-31-09 PDT Martin Owens Yes. 2020-06-06 09-37-35 PDT Martin Owens It's just a matter of the outpost policy. 2020-06-06 10-20-18 PDT Martin Owens Oh what operating system do you have? 2020-06-06 09-54-36 PDT Martin Owens Plus users should always be encouraged to become contributors. i.e. help with docs, help with vectors, that sort of thing. And that does mean helping users to move to rocket chat (or the mailing lists/gitlab etc) 2020-06-06 09-39-26 PDT Martin Owens So the question is firstly a) is discord a source of users? b) is there an open source alternative (if rocket chat that?) 2020-06-06 09-50-46 PDT Martin Owens Network effects are typically the problem being dealt with. 2020-06-06 09-54-48 PDT Martin Owens (talking too much :-D) 2020-06-06 09-53-22 PDT Martin Owens (if this makes sense) 2020-06-06 09-51-28 PDT Martin Owens At least, we'd like it if people who are managing those platforms were on board with the project. 2020-06-06 09-48-37 PDT Martin Owens Where would you put a link to Discord? Should we have a seperate page for our outposts? 2020-06-06 09-32-27 PDT Martin Owens Discord is open source right? 2020-06-07 01-36-38 PDT Martin Owens Those are very nice, do you have the source svg files? (and a license?) 2020-06-06 10-14-22 PDT Martin Owens This is the recent issue that would be small enough and important enough if you wanted to help on the python side: https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape-web/-/issues/493 2020-06-06 10-13-29 PDT Martin Owens That's on my personal todo though. 2020-06-06 09-57-51 PDT Martin Owens If you want I can add Discord there until I've got the gumshion to move it. 2020-06-06 09-53-17 PDT Martin Owens But say, you were going to run an event. You could choose to run it on Facebook/Discord/Youtube whatever, and exclude members of the community in other parts of Inkscape. Or you could run it on inkscape.org and link from Facebook & Discord & Youtube to (the forums, the galleries, the whatever the right tool is). That's what we mean by getting users to interact. They don't have to leave Discord, they just have to dip their toes into inkscape.org to post to competitions or things like that. 2020-06-06 09-58-13 PDT Martin Owens And pass me the link. 2020-06-06 10-30-41 PDT Martin Owens [RocketChat, GitLab, MailingList, Forums] <- contributor channels (places where community builds things), outposts -> [Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, Intagram, Discord, deviantArt], candidate for being a "is-group" channel but isn't -> [Matodon, PeerTube, ...] trying to think if there are any more. There probably are. 2020-06-06 10-06-27 PDT Martin Owens We also need to set up a peertube account. 2020-06-06 10-19-09 PDT Martin Owens I'm available for help, notes, hand-holding, etc. 2020-06-06 10-22-46 PDT Nick Windows 10 because I use altium, solidworks, and the adobe suite often 2020-06-06 10-17-04 PDT Nick I would have to download everything and try to repro to help out, if I do end up having the time, How should I get started? 2020-06-08 11-51-22 PDT Nick Anything else you need me to do? 2020-06-06 09-51-17 PDT Nick Haha cool 2020-06-06 10-11-35 PDT Nick Also, I am a computer scientist so I might be able to help out with Python, C, JS CSS, HTML, etc 2020-06-06 09-32-52 PDT Nick If that interferes with Inkscape's mission I totally understand 2020-06-06 10-03-37 PDT Nick Sure, I can do that If you end up building a separate page we should include all the other missed platforms like the ones mentioned at the bottom of this page: https://inkscape.org/news/2020/05/04/introducing-inkscape-10/
And obviously the youtube channel and the rocket chat aren't mentioned on the home page 2020-06-06 09-56-33 PDT Nick Clipboard - June 6, 2020 12:56 PM (https://chat.inkscape.org/file-upload/2Cgz4T5DEaoFbZe47/Clipboard%20-%20June...) 2020-06-06 10-23-39 PDT Nick Platforms: Twitter Youtube Instagram Rocket Chat Discord DeviantArt Mastodon 2020-06-06 10-12-21 PDT Nick I used it once for a project a couple years ago 2020-06-06 10-18-47 PDT Nick Alright, I might give it a shot tonight 2020-06-06 10-23-31 PDT Nick I keep ping ponging between Ubuntu and Windows for years lol 2020-06-06 09-49-27 PDT Nick That makes total sense to me. a) Yes b) Rocket chat is actually the best alternative! I am not sure how familiar you are with Discord but the reason that users would not be likely to leave the Discord is because it is a central location for numerous platforms 2020-06-06 09-50-56 PDT Nick Yeah, that sounds like a good idea, a place for social media platforms that aren't directly endorsed by Inkscape 2020-06-06 11-09-46 PDT Nick Let me know if those work or if you'd prefer something more old-fashioned 2020-06-06 11-09-04 PDT Nick Social Media Icons.zip (https://chat.inkscape.org/file-upload/WocQNwwEG6QCcdSWP/Social%20Media%20Ico...) 2020-06-06 09-56-29 PDT Nick That totally makes sense, I will put a larger effort towards linking back to inkscape.org and the forums inside my platform to inspire people to contribute. So, maybe these platforms that aren't listed yet should be listed here: 2020-06-07 07-46-53 PDT Nick The source is in the zip. If you mean the logo sources I got them all from their press kits posted on their websites. 2020-06-06 09-31-31 PDT Nick Great, let me know what you need from me and I will get it to you asap 2020-06-06 09-30-13 PDT Nick Hi, would it be possible to list the Discord somewhere on the website? 2020-06-06 09-57-40 PDT Nick That totally makes sense 2020-06-06 10-22-24 PDT Nick Windows 10 with Ubuntu VM 2020-06-08 13-39-49 PDT Nick RocketChat: https://chat.inkscape.org/home Website: https://inkscape.org/ Forums: https://inkscape.org/forums/ Mailing Lists: https://lists.inkscape.org/postorius/lists/ GitLab: https://gitlab.com/inkscape Mastodon: https://mastodon.art/@inkscape YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKKj0FJtVE8sGn4afabKvTA Twitter: https://twitter.com/inkscape Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Inkscape.org Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/inkscapeofficial/ DeviantArt: https://www.deviantart.com/inkscapers Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Inkscape/ Discord: https://discord.gg/n9eJekh 2020-06-08 13-44-06 PDT Nick Social Media Icons.zip (https://chat.inkscape.org/file-upload/LQabxZobYixroeGEe/Social%20Media%20Ico...) 2020-06-08 13-44-12 PDT Nick Added reddit^ 2020-06-06 09-32-35 PDT Nick Sadly not, it is proprietary freeware.
