| elacheche | wxl CrazyLemon Thanks for the Inkscape idea x) It's really easier to hack the poster using it, here is a preview of the event poster http://bit.ly/2lO3V3D | 14:54 |

| CrazyLemon | elacheche 403 :( | 14:56 |

| CrazyLemon | elacheche ty.. nice poster - don't like the shadows but still nice :) | 14:57 |
| elacheche | CrazyLemon: there is 3 shadows in there, all of them are bad? I think I'll change the big Ubuntu logo to add to it logos of tech we'll present (raspberrypi and packaging and others) | 14:59 |
| CrazyLemon | elacheche the laptops text | 14:59 |
| CrazyLemon | i don't mind others | 14:59 |
| CrazyLemon | i do mind preview text :D | 14:59 |
| elacheche | CrazyLemon: Yes, i hate that one too :D That was the 1st text I added, and was just exploring the blur options x) I'll change that in the next version, yeah, the preview texxt is just so the university guys don't rush and print it before I finish it x) | 15:01 |
| elacheche | The Gimp Source file is on our wiki since 2014, and I'll share the SVG source file for this one after I finish it | 15:03 |
| wxl | inkscape is a powerful tool for the budding graphic designer, elacheche. it has a large learning barrier, but it's worth it | 18:37 |
| elacheche | :) | 18:38 |
| genii | It's worth it just to have your stuff in vector graphics | 18:39 |
| wxl | yep | 18:40 |
| wxl | and the native file format is xml so it lends itself well to source control | 18:40 |
| elacheche | I tried many times to ask contributors in my loco to use SVG, because we can use source control software to keep track of files, but they don't want to.. And I'm not a designer x) | 18:45 |
| wxl | what do they use? gimp's weird little format? | 18:46 |
| elacheche | yeah.. | 18:47 |
| wxl | proprietary formats are never good | 18:48 |
| wxl | admittedly i think svg doesn't contain the degree of information that gimp's format does, but the inkscape xml solves that | 18:48 |
| wxl | that said, here's what i encourage: at your next event, do a presentation on inkscape | 18:48 |
| wxl | if the non-designer is showing them what to do, they'll probably want to catch up :) | 18:49 |
| wxl | then when you find someone interested in it and they learn more, tell them to do a presentation on advanced usage | 18:49 |
| wxl | specifically compare it to gimp and show its limitations when you do yours | 18:49 |
| elacheche | Our next event is already planned.. We'll have a prez about Ubuntu/Linux/GNU/FOSS/utn, Install party, a prez about RaspPi & OrangePi, and a Workshop about Ubuntu Packaging (or something similar, still waiting for confirmation from the contributor) | 18:50 |
| wxl | you could always do a BoF :) | 18:50 |
| elacheche | :D x) | 18:51 |
| wxl | "FOR DESIGNERS ONLY" XD | 18:51 |
| elacheche | Yeah, the university hosting us don't have design students, it's IT one.. | 18:52 |
| elacheche | Dev + Sys/Net Admin + Embded | 18:52 |
| wxl | all the more reason | 18:53 |
| wxl | bbl | 18:53 |
| elacheche | x) | 18:53 |
