Hackfest: Boston/USA, RedHat Boston Office, 26-30 March 2018

Description

A hackfest! We will work on Inkscape bugs, new features, and packaging as well as website issues; in fact anything that can benefit from developers and users being physically in the same space.

The timing of the hackfest will be next to the Software Freedom Day conference held at MIT.
