You are a hero
I've been using Inkscape for over 10 years now. I had no idea the man behind it wore a bowler hat and now I will never use another vector program again.

inkscape is great, I use it all the time
Hadnโt heard of it. Will download later.
Looks like a great guy. I use inkscape when I need nice looking graphics at home for all sorts of things. I've never paid a lot of attention at the names on the about page. Meeting him like this on a photo is pretty cool!
Nice to meet you unilaterally Mr Martin. Thank you!
- Inkscape is awesome
- Much like Gimp, Inkscape is not at all a competitor to the adobe suite if you are a professional
- A hobbyist using hobbyist software is not loss of money for The most feature rich professional oriented software out there
How many of those millions went to his bank account? I'm guessing not many.
he looks happy and his room looks full of fun

I made nearly all the 2D assets in my game with Inkscape. It wouldn't have been possible without it.
Seriously fuck adobe. We use them at work and they have the shittiest management portal in the universe and also make it so hard to cancel subscriptions.
I like his hat.
This guy is a hero. Inkscape is so much better than Adobe. Also, I couldn't have done some recent PDF to AutoCad conversions without that software. Autocad chokes on pulling vectors out of PDFs for some reason. It does it, but it is a mess. The bad thing is I know it could do better because if you just pull in the same PDF that it struggled with as an external source, it renders it fine, including all the vector information. I could be doing something wrong, but it shouldn't be that hard.
OMS! He looks awesome. Totally someone I could see hanging at a con with.
