January, A sea of tiles. Inspired by hand-painted Portuguese tiles I tried to convey its non-perfect and yet humanistic details while highlighting, here and there, individual tile pieces that come together as little geometric fishes.

New Inkscope Podcast episode available with Marc, Martin, Michèle, Ryan and Tim talking about Community issues, upcoming Inkscape 1.0 with support for macOS, hackfests, and some of the latest Inkscape news:
Oh my! GIMP has now layer support for TIFF (thanks Tobias Ellinghaus from #darktable) and a revamped Curves tool interface control+click to add a point that snaps to the current curve, adding sharp point instead of soft and even the point selection that seems to be much better (it tries to select without changing its position)
Well done and thanks @GIMP
oh man the latest teaser videos from @kde are just awesome! Simple and clever, well done!

@inkscape workshop was really cool. Learn some tricks wrt alpha version; exchange techniques and shortcuts and most of all we could express and influence the upcoming version! The developers really listened and were eager to share and discuss. And play with amusing laser cuts toys by Jürgen Weigert ❤️. #scribus devs were there as well and so I couldn't resist but show my appreciation by giving #portucalio to every developer (present) from these lovely tools ❤️🤩 THANK YOU!
#lgm19 Presentation after that was someone suggesting that the open source graphics community should consider coming up with certification process for the floss art programs, so that there's a way for artists to show proficiency with the components without just showing pretty pictures.
It seemed this is also to have some kind of alternative to university degrees, esp. for self-taught people or dropouts.
Really enjoy Tatica's talk and her idea for a design/art academy/certificate for libre artists/designers @libregraphicsmeeting #libregraphicsmeeting #libregraphics #floss #open source
So interesting talk by Ana Isabel and Ricardo Lafuente ❤️ terminology is indeed important! #lgm2019 #libregraphicsmeeting
All schools in #Kerala / #India will switch to #FreeSoftware: "More than Rs 3,000-crore savings, we feel the key advantage of going for free OS is the ability to study, share, edit and publish without restrictions. In the education sector, this dissemination value is more crucial than costs", says Anjali Krishnan. https://www.financialexpress.com/industry/technology/kerala-schools-to-save-rs-3000-crore-by-using-linux-os/1577396/ #education #OpenSource
#Inkscape #Hackfest at #LibreGraphics in Saarbrücken, #Germany, May 27-29
There will be a big push to fix priority bugs and conduct testing with respect to the 1.0 release. A push to recruit new developers will also be discussed

The first time I tried Linux out was with @kde with #Kurumin #CaixaMagica or even #Knoppix but since then somehow I drifted away (either from Linux altogether) or to a more Gnome based distros these last years. But let me tell you how well impressed I am with the current #KDE #Plasma. After trying it out on Neon and Kubuntu live flash drive it's now my default DE! I urge you to try it out as well. Plus it made my battery last an extra hour or so.
@inkscape @conservancy @Framasoft @OpenCulture so I end up, after a couple of failed attempts and frustration with wiki commons, choosing @github. Expect to see future commits on github.com/portucalio Not only assets will be there but it's my intent to write step by step my processes in the hopes to deliver a kind of recipe for creating and printing your own calendar using #freesoftware #scribus #inkscape #linux #floss #MadeWithFLOSS

On 25th of this month, April, we celebrate the #Freedom Day (which commemorates the #Portuguese revolution) and so in that spirit I have been thinking to release all the illustrations #inkscape and possibly layouts (need to review them first though) #scribus under some #free license. Any thoughts? And where would be the best place to host the files? #boost
