We're a very friendly bunch and we love to see new faces join discussions and expand the family :)

How to get involvedĬome to the meeting or contact any of the team members to introduce yourself and offer your kind service. Most of the work is organized through Issues and Wiki pages posted there. The Inkscape Vectors Team has a group on GitLab as part of the official Inkscape development code repository. We use Jitsi or BigBlueButton for audio/video conferencing (it accesses your microphone and camera through the browser), there is a Jitsi Meet app for your tablet, and for those who can only text chat we use our rocket.chat channel. Use the calendar link on the right to see our upcoming meetings. We hold a monthly meeting each first Saturday in a month 8:00 AM PT / PDT, it is the day after the Inkscape Board Meeting is held. It creates a hackfest momentum for every operation and it makes it so much more fun :) How activities are organized No matter how small the task may seem from the outside, it is always a tremendous help to have more people involved. Keeping up with many overlapping roles is strenuous so we are always on the lookout for fresh faces who can step in now and again with anything not related to programming. The core group of people who regularly contribute to Inkscape isn't huge (as is the case with many open source projects), and Vectors were originally recruited from other areas of Inkscape development (bug fixing, website development, community management). The Inkscape Vectors Team is a group of contributors who work on issues that traditionally fall under marketing.

Show your appreciation for this awesome app by joining The Inkscape Vectors Team! You don't have to be a programmer to significantly help Inkscape development. Common belief that “if you build it, they will come” has been disproved many times.Ĭontributions other than programming aren't as automatically tracked and credited, but they are essential in growing the project, drawing users to it and multiplying even its code contributions. But as with any successful commercial project, open source projects also need to work on all the other parts in order to make programming efforts worth the while. Contributing to open source projects usually implies programming and working directly on app code.
