hi spin That's great news! And a good reason not to rush this release.
Warsaw is too far for me to travel, and I don't have a very much time for MyPaint lately. But I'll try to be on IRC to point people to the right place in the code. If it is definitive, tell us when you have a date fixed. Make sure you have some graphic tablets around at the event. With only the mouse it is hard to understand how this program is actually used. The most motivating way to find a task is to try sketching for one hour (editor closed). Don't try to get a good result, but create something. If you're completely out of ideas, start drawing a checkerboard pattern. After that, you'll have your own ideas about what should be improved. Fresh users will run into problems that we've learned to avoid. It would be great to make this program even more accessible to new users. The most un-motivating way is to go through every bug in the tracker. Or for me, to look through my private TODO list. But I'll dig out some likely targets for you. Everything that's important should already be on the bugtracker. Someone told me there were problems creating an account at the bugtracker. Gna isn't the sexiest site any more, but it worked for us, so far. If you haven't got an account, could you try to create one now maybe?
