Hacking Sessions

Hi, I propose we have two hacking sessions: The first would be at RedHat in January as proposed by Máirín Duffy. This session would focus on GTK problems and the user-interface. I think the opportunity to have RedHat GTK+ experts help us is too good of an offer to pass up. A specific goal would be to improve the Mac OSX port which is suffering from GTK related canvas redraw issues. I envision this hacking session be small so it would be easy to organize. It would be open to only those who have already dealt with GTK, Mac OSX, interface issues, or have deep knowledge of the Inkscape code base. Candidates to invite include: su_v, LiamW, Johan, JazzyNico, Alex Valenis, and Jon Cruz. We can ask Martin to coordinate event. This can be viewed as a "warm-up" session where we can gain some experience in organizing this type of event. The second hacking session would be at LGM in April. This would be a larger session, open to all Inkscape developers and covering more issues. What do you all think? Tav
