Inkscape

Hi @Curator - Inkscape lost 1000 followers today, due to blocking of fosstodon.org - could you clarify why that happened, please?

The Oregon State University's Open Source Lab needs your help 🤝 !

We at #Inkscape rely on them for hosting our website 🌐 , mailing lists 📨 , mail servers 📮 and DNS ℹ️ .

They are also a host for many other open source projects - e.g. #Drupal, #Gentoo Linux, #Debian, #Fedora, #phpBB, #OpenID, #Buildroot/#Busybox, #Cinc, …

Please consider donating 💌 to them so they can keep their services running for all of us!

#Inkscape community member @dopelover recently contributed a set of shortcuts that mimics that of #Illustrator CC 2024, but it needs a larger userbase to test it before merging.

If you're (or you know someone) familiar with Illustrator, please go to the forum page and follow the instructions to get the new keyboard shortcuts file for testing there:

Thanks for your testing!
