Inkscape: Draw Freely. (http://www.inkscape.org/)


Inkscape is an open source SVG editor with capabilities similar to
Illustrator, CorelDraw, Visio, etc. Supported SVG features include basic
shapes, paths, text, alpha blending, transforms, gradients, node
editing, svg-to-png export, grouping, and more.

Inkscape's main motivation is to provide a fully XML, SVG, and CSS2
compliant SVG drawing tool. Additional planned work includes conversion
of the codebase from C/Gtk to C++/Gtkmm, emphasizing a lightweight core
with powerful features added through an extension mechanism, and
establishment of a friendly, open, community-oriented development
processes.

The specific emphasis of this talk will be for intermingling between
attendees and to allow for suggestions and discussions about where
Inkscape is heading...draw freely!
