Topic: Inkscape
Presenter: Ted Gould
Location: Sequoia Charter School, 1460 S. Horne, Mesa, AZ 85204-5760
Time: 19:00 on Thursday, the 11th of March

Abstract: Inkscape is a SVG-based cross-platform open-source vector drawing
application (enough buzz words?). SVG is the XML based W3C standard
for vector graphics that is starting to gain traction on the web for
graphics. It can provide smaller, dynamically created pictures for many
websites. While Inkscape is a tool that can be used to create graphics
for the web, it can also cover the full gambit of vector editing tasks.
This presentation will provide introductions to: vector graphics, SVG and
Inkscape which by the end will allow you to create some simple graphics.

Bio: Ted Gould is a member of PLUG and one of the founders of the Inkscape
project. Ted is responsible for the crazy polls that come up on the PLUG
website almost weekly.
