Morning! A big thanks to imakefoss for inviting me to be your twit this week.
I’m an @inkscape programmer who works to solve the tricky problem of user involvement and needs in free software. Follow me you like FS or Inkscape!

So it turns out, you shouldn’t put your important files on a removable hard disk and encrypt it and lose the password.

I did think it was in the KeePass, but apparently not.

Finished hacking out the old connector tool from @Inkscape and it’s 2500+ lines.
I admit, some of those lines might come back. But most are now handled by LivePathEffects. The final tally of lines will happen right at the end of the connection refactoring project. https://t.co/zqxCsujdZv

I wanted to show you all what a programmer’s desktop looks like, I’ve made an interactive map you can hover over things! The power of SVG on the web.

Each week I make a video where I go through the programming work I do on Inkscape. This week I set fire to lots of code! https://t.co/QSRvx54yw1
Please consider sponsoring my programming work if you can. My goal this year is to be full time on Inkscape and for that I need help!

The Inkscape project has long struggled to organise itself and now we find we have a large amount of budget available and it’s important that we take responsibility for investing it into the project properly.
This is distinct from the funding I get directly from users. https://t.co/6WKjkYeKpW

It’s Inkscape Release Day. 1.1 is coming out today and we’re in a video call, celebrating and organising. An hour or so until the final announcement rolls out and you can start downloading the lovely new features! https://t.co/FzDLJjSgNp

The raster exporter is making a splash. I figure I’d share this attempt a comedy that I made with Chris Rogers last year: https://t.co/OzCCewJtqv
Warning this was before I got a USB microphone so it’s bad audio.

My time as your guest tweeter is coming to an end. Thank you all the lovely people at @imakefoss and the people who’ve cheered on my Inkscape work this week.
I’m going to leave you with my proposed #EULA when installing open source programs: https://t.co/0nsM166F86
