Thanks @patdavid for reaching out to the Inkscape team and working to support the libre graphics movement as a whole. As just a recent observer this feels like the kind of supportive community I would want welcoming newcomers to FOSS. It would be awesome if Inkscapers had a community of support here as well, as I’m sure many of your members are using it side-by-side with GIMP, Darktable, etc. as I do. Let’s keep exploring what that would look like if it’s something your community wants here as well.
Nearly all of the professional photographers I know are involved in film at some level. I have used Canon DSLRs running Magic Lantern for almost all of my own professional film work. I think making a home for video here would be a very natural fit and much needed. For what it is worth (@paperdigits) I actually use Blender for most of my editing, primarily because it is cross-platform and stable.
As far as people involved in video… Farid Abdelnour at Estúdio Gunga is not only doing video work but they have been helping the Kdenlive project. Sam Muirhead has done some good freelance work. I’m sure there are many others that I’d love to hear about and collaborate with, but I don’t know where to find them (hence the need for a community like this).
I would by no means consider myself a seasoned photographer, so I’m not sure what I can add to the well of expertise here, but I’ll keep an eye out for ways I may be able to contribute.
