Inkscape Hackfest Kiel 2018 - What Happened? | Inkscape

<h1>Inkscape Hackfest, Kiel Germany</h1> <p>This year&#39;s Kiel Hackfest was one of the best yet, thanks in no small part to Maren Hachmann, who is coordinator for Inkscape&#39;s website translation team. The following is a summary of what went on at the Hackfest...</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://media.inkscape.org/media/resources/file/inkscape_hackfest_kiel_2018_group_photo_vignette_logo.jpg" style="width: 100%;" /></p>

I've tried to sum up what happened at the Inkscape hackfest in Kiel every evening of the last couple of days on the Inkscape forum:

http://www.inkscapeforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=33875&p=106145#p106099

It's not very lyrical, and only contains a small excerpt of all that has happened - there was so much going on! And then I had not only Inkscape, but also Kielux on my mind...

If you could choose 1 thing that must be implemented or fixed in Inkscape 1.0, what would it be? - Page 3 - InkscapeForum.com

Today at #InkscapeHackfest one of our most long-standing bugs was fixed and we can now have a top-left origin in documents! Thanks Thomas!

https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/170049

Bug #170049 (sf859982) “Inverted ruler co-ordinate system” : Bugs : Inkscape

The y-axis of the rulers' co-ordinate system is inverted (increasing upwards), and places the origin on the bottom left of the viewport. The SVG spec places the default origin on the top left of the viewport, and has the co-ordinate system increasing to the right and downwards.

Some impressions of Kiel from today's check for the city tour (and some more healthy food options):
