It would be cool to have a presentation for people to see. Maybe
someone could show some tips and tricks for getting things done faster
in Inkscape, and an "ask a developer" portion where people can just
ask questions. It would help to attract people into positions we need
filled if we have a list of them. Maybe we can offer special
contributor stickers to people who pick up the shovel. Maybe based on
our "hats" graphics from the website.
It just so happens I'm going to be teaching an outreach class in the RHT
Boston office on software design to a small team of local high school
students and one of the sessions (they're 2 hrs each) involves teaching
the kids how to use Inkscape and a lab session where they'll use
Inkscape to prototype their ideas. It'll likely be their first Inkscape
experience so you could get a fresh perspective on new users :)
I'm working out the schedule with the organizers now; the class will run
on Wednesdays and we could potentially do the Inkscape session on
Wednesday March 28, 12-2 pm to line it up with the hackfest.
If you don't mind doing it on Wednesday instead of Tuesday, this might
be a good opportunity. For earlier in the morning or later that
afternoon I can try to reach out to some local folks who use Inkscape
and see if they'd be interested in a presentation / Q&A and able to come
as well to really pack the day :)
Let me know what you think about the idea. It's totally optional so if
you're not sure the class thing will work out it's totally fine of course.
Cheers,
~m
