Congratulations Kjell! As the developer of Lifeograph, I am really thankful to you and everybody who contributed to Gtkmm. Keep up the good work!

An opportunity for other C++ programmers to enter. Thanks a lot for your great efforts and tenacity. Honestly, I've found in the mm modules what i was looking for, over other gui toolkits. So close to C++... Congrats to all the development team and keep up the good work! Aitor. ___ gtkmm-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtkmm-list
Re: Ten years with gtkmm, glibmm and other mm modules
Thanks Kjell, The Inkscape project uses gtkmm and I think our project would not be as strong as it is without it. And I'm sure when we move to Gtk4, your work will prove most vital there too. Thank you for all your help, millions of Inkscape users have benefited from your selfless 10 years of contribution. On a note about upstreams: These upstream projects are dropping lie flies, Inkscape feels like it's being left somewhat unsupported by all it's dependency libraries as the economic models of "no model at all" comes and bites us firmly in the behind. I don't think chaotic-good enthusiasm for the new technology of the day is going to drive new contributions, even with community management and a focus on recruitment because let's be honest, C++ isn't where all the cool kids are these days. (damn you javascript!) I'm interested in what projects like Gtk/mm think about downstreams not being able to invest in their projects and if it's reasonable to expect more to keep things running.
