... in brief
Inkscape is an Open Source scalable vector graphic (SVG) editor. Forkedfrom SodiPodi in 2003, Version 0.46 was released in late March 2008.Despite the low version number Inkscape is strong, stable, intuitive andready for Prime Time. Donna will showcase Inkscape art and practicalapplications, demonstrate Vector Drawing techniques, and provide
pointers on where to go to learn more.
Donna Benjamin runs her own business and procrastinates daily byexploring new features and bugs of the bleeding edge version of Inkscape.She has managed to find legitimate uses of the software for creating webgraphics, re-recreating corporate logos and creating posters and banners.Creative Contingencies does customised web application development,
hosting, research and meeting facilitation. Donna is also a board memberof Open Source Industry Australia and was conference director forlinux.conf.au 2008.
