This series of workshops, held monthly, will offer access to different free software tools that can and should make up the tool kit of a public, citizens' laboratory. In addition to offering the possibility of introducing the use of the tools, we will try to document a number of processes with the aim of composing a guide of useful free tools for the carrying out of projects in laboratories. In an environment in which a critical approach to technology and the principles of learning by doing and sharing knowledge are adopted, free software is a natural ally.
Inkscape is an open-source vector graphics editor that uses Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), an open XML-based W3C standard, as the native format. It is cross-platform, which means it is easy to run on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux distributions.
This workshop will give an exhaustive introduction to the open source software Inkscape, an open-source vector graphics editor that uses Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), an open XML-based W3C standard, as the native format.
