May 4-6 is the Libre Graphics Meeting in Montreal. Mark it on your
calendars!
http://www.libregraphicsmeeting.org/
We hope to gather a huge number of Inkscape developers and users
to talk face to face about Inkscape, new features, ideas, and so on.
See
It would be useful to know who all will be there. Can you email me
off-list if you are thinking about attending? (Sponsorship will be
available, so if cost is an issue let me know.)
