2019-12-21 18-47-27 PST Victor Westmann Whatever the resolution you printed the material it was amzaing. 2020-01-03 10-36-27 PST Victor Westmann 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 PST Victor Westmann 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 PST Victor Westmann Oh ok Maybe I can ask Matin then! 2019-12-21 13-42-20 PST Victor Westmann 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_vKS8gERR... 2019-12-21 18-52-27 PST Victor Westmann Were you born here? It is a beautiful country you have 2019-12-21 18-44-51 PST Victor Westmann 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 PST Victor Westmann Sounds good Michele. Thank you for taking your time to work on this. Thanks! 2019-12-21 18-42-38 PST Victor Westmann 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 PST Victor Westmann I would love to help recruit more volunteers to help translate the official tutorials of the project. 2019-12-21 18-47-50 PST Victor Westmann What is it that you do on your work? 2019-12-21 18-36-46 PST Victor Westmann 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 PST Victor Westmann 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 PST Victor Westmann Are you also in Canada? No way. I am in Vancouver 2019-12-21 18-59-08 PST Victor Westmann sound like a good plan! Will ping him for sure. :upside_down: 2019-12-21 18-54-47 PST Victor Westmann People forget French is Latin based / latin rooted lol 2019-12-21 18-27-18 PST Victor Westmann No problem. Feel free to share. Not a problem. 2019-12-21 18-53-54 PST Victor Westmann We have been living in your beautiful country for almost 4 years now. 2019-12-21 18-27-05 PST Victor Westmann And more people to help code and to triage bugs... 2019-12-21 18-23-39 PST Victor Westmann Yeah, MS Excel is a little bit easier to use and polished... but proprietary, sadly. 2019-12-21 13-42-26 PST Victor Westmann Let me know if you need anything else! 2019-12-21 18-49-21 PST Victor Westmann Only one company. What is economic development? 2019-12-21 18-25-14 PST Victor Westmann 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 PST Victor Westmann 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 PST Victor Westmann I did this when I was working for a company that used this system 2020-01-01 20-27-17 PST Victor Westmann Hi Michele, happy new year! 2019-12-21 18-46-32 PST Victor Westmann 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 PST Victor Westmann Maybe we can think of something for next year... 2019-12-21 18-40-06 PST Victor Westmann 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 PST Victor Westmann 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 PST Victor Westmann 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 PST Victor Westmann I believe that we publicized the survey for, 7 to 10 days. Something like that. 2019-12-21 18-37-35 PST Victor Westmann And this is not necessarily true! hehe 2019-12-21 18-38-25 PST Victor Westmann 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 PST Victor Westmann 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 PST Victor Westmann Thanks for the directions. :thumbsup: 2019-12-22 11-49-37 PST Victor Westmann 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 PST Victor Westmann I wish you have a very positive, healthy and energetic year! 2019-12-21 18-37-19 PST Victor Westmann 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 PST Victor Westmann 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 PST Victor Westmann 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 PST Victor Westmann What would be the language of the articles? And what kind of articles? 2019-12-21 18-42-18 PST Victor Westmann Really? I am also a Windows user. Let me know if you need help to test anything. 2019-12-21 18-56-48 PST Victor Westmann I will have to go soon... 2019-12-21 18-47-17 PST Victor Westmann it became super great! 2019-12-21 18-43-16 PST Victor Westmann :slight_smile: 2019-12-21 18-47-42 PST Victor Westmann (But the final size of the files were ridiculous I must confess.... 54 MB per file) 2020-12-10 07-12-18 PST Victor Westmann 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 PST Victor Westmann You too! Take care. 2019-12-21 18-53-37 PST Victor Westmann I am a Brazilian. 2019-12-21 18-53-43 PST Victor Westmann My wife and I are Brazilians. 2019-12-21 18-41-40 PST Victor Westmann (themes = dark theme, light theme... symbolic icons) 2019-12-21 18-26-36 PST Victor Westmann 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 PST Victor Westmann This is the type of thing that truly changes the world. 2019-12-21 18-56-56 PST Victor Westmann but it was really good talking a little bit more with you Michele. 2020-01-01 20-28-09 PST Victor Westmann 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 PDT Victor Westmann 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 PST Victor Westmann Woa! Looks really nice. Thank you for this. 2019-12-21 18-28-24 PST Victor Westmann Yay! great. Thank you for this. Merci 2019-12-21 18-53-34 PST Victor Westmann 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 PST Victor Westmann French, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian 2019-12-21 18-45-04 PST Victor Westmann Thank you for caring for this project. I love it very much. 2019-12-21 18-26-05 PST Victor Westmann Absolutely! 2020-12-05 17-16-00 PST Victor Westmann 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 PST Victor Westmann Latin roots. 2019-12-21 18-48-18 PST Michèle Thibeau Wow, sounds like your work helped lots of people and companies! 2019-12-21 18-54-17 PST Michèle Thibeau 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 PST Michèle Thibeau 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 PDT Michèle Thibeau 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 PST Michèle Thibeau I use a bit of both at home and work - proprietary at work 2019-12-21 18-48-55 PST Michèle Thibeau 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 PST Michèle Thibeau 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 PST Michèle Thibeau 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 PST Michèle Thibeau 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 PST Michèle Thibeau 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 PST Michèle Thibeau Victor W Inkscape survey data basic charts.pdf (https://chat.inkscape.org/file-upload/k9KMaM4zFeupwvetn/Victor%20W%20Inkscap...) 2019-12-21 18-28-02 PST Michèle Thibeau 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 PST Michèle Thibeau 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 PST Michèle Thibeau 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 PST Michèle Thibeau 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 PST Michèle Thibeau 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 PST Michèle Thibeau 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 PST Michèle Thibeau Yes! 2019-12-21 18-43-21 PST Michèle Thibeau I am not an advanced learner! And realize that I am not that good with betas. 8-) 2019-12-21 18-58-10 PST Michèle Thibeau 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 PST Michèle Thibeau 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 PST Michèle Thibeau 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 PST Michèle Thibeau 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 PST Michèle Thibeau 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 PST Michèle Thibeau Yep, next year sounds good! 2019-12-21 18-27-20 PST Michèle Thibeau I could do a bit from French to English, but that's where my expertise would end. 2019-12-21 18-38-48 PST Michèle Thibeau Oh, my, CMYK printing is on my wish list as a digital artist! 2019-12-21 18-52-09 PST Michèle Thibeau Yes! I am in Quebec City! Cool, I've been to Vancouver only once. 2019-12-21 18-41-53 PST Michèle Thibeau There's a lot of listening! I am curious to try out a dark format with 1.0 2019-12-21 18-26-59 PST Michèle Thibeau Yes! And I am willing to look at the data, though perhaps others are too. 2019-12-22 13-25-04 PST Michèle Thibeau You're welcome! 2019-12-21 18-07-20 PST Michèle Thibeau 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 PST Michèle Thibeau Glad to have you here! 2019-12-21 18-59-17 PST Michèle Thibeau 8-) 2019-12-21 18-34-54 PST Michèle Thibeau You're welcome, Victor! 2019-12-21 18-53-06 PST Michèle Thibeau 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 PST Michèle Thibeau 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 PST Michèle Thibeau We'll chat again! 2019-12-21 17-58-23 PST Michèle Thibeau 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 PST Michèle Thibeau Will do! Good luck with your move. I hope it went well! 2020-12-05 17-53-52 PST Michèle Thibeau 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 PST Michèle Thibeau 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 PST Michèle Thibeau Awesome. Thanks, Victor! I am into looking at data. Have a great day@ 2020-07-30 17-37-19 PDT Michèle Thibeau 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 PST Michèle Thibeau 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 PST Michèle Thibeau 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 PST Michèle Thibeau You, too, Victor!
