Greetings, new guy here, shyly putting his hand up after having used ubuntu studio for years, feeling like I should at least try to show some support to the wonderful folks behind the scenes...
as a user, I support dropping MyPaint in favour of Krita - I agree that Krita is actively under development and growing their community. Cross-pollination of support may occur? pikopixel - I was unaware of it, it looks dang pretty. Again looks to have support and growth in its community. Do you want any preliminary testing of install/issues done? (That is about the extent of my tech contribution at the moment - I can run up various install on different hardware combinations to help test how it plays in UbuntuStudio, before going to vote?) regards, Jack On Sun, 12 Aug 2018 at 06:01, Erich Eickmeyer <er...@ericheickmeyer.com> wrote: > Well, the decision was made to cancel this meeting.
