submitted 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) by grant@toast.ooo to c/canvas@toast.ooo
 

the event has concluded! thank you all for participating!

this has been incredibly fun to run, as it was last year (although there was a bit more hiccups this time around)

⚠ Crossposters: link back to this post as it will be updated with more information ⚠

Event date: July 12th, 2024 @ 4am UTC til ~~July 15th @ 4am UTC (72 hours)~~ July 16th @ 4am UTC (72 hours + 24 hours) (it was extended due to a massive performance issue that caused major downtime)

Future events

I'm planning to host another one next year, so stay tuned 👀

If you have suggestions for canvas 2025 or any other events, post them in this post (thanks Ategon)

Supporting the project 💜💜💜

I have spent a little over 6 months completely rebuilding Canvas from the ground up to support future features, and i would love to work on more fediverse events

poster sales

posters of the final canvas will be sold, if you would like to stay updated with information on those, follow the Mastodon account or send an email to hello@sc07.company 💜

https://sc07.shop/

the shop site will also include stickers for the following instances:

  • mastodon.world
  • lemmy.world
  • blahaj.zone
  • toot.community
  • toast.ooo
  • Canvas 2024

✨ I wanted to have the shop setup before the event ending, but i couldn't get it setup quick enough unfortunately

EDIT: Shop is now live!

direct donations

Donating via Stripe is the best way to donate directly

contributing to the code

canvas is open-source and is on a self-hosted gitlab instance at https://git.sc07.company/sc07/canvas

at time of writing; the gitlab server randomly restarts due to resource limits

Timelapses

i need to rewrite the timelapse script as some people pointed out some weirdness with the other ones (that's also what delayed this post by almost 3 hours)

Data

Database dump: (48mb) https://cdn.sc07.company/canvas/2024/canvas-stripped.sql.txt

Contains pixel placements, canvas moderation actions, and palette colors no IP addresses

chat.fediverse.events

This will stay up as long as i can keep it running for, i'll make some improvements eventually as well

tools (like a canvas atlas)

if anyone is wanting to build something for canvas, i'd be willing to host the project & give it a subdomain of .fediverse.events

just send me a matrix dm, a dm on discord (grahhnt) or an email hello@sc07.company

Special thanks

thank you to the moderators that helped me this year, even with how stressful it was 🔨

and the contributors to the code once the event started: 💻

  • Ategon

  • soda_cans

Thank you, grant, and everyone who worked on this! I had fun.

I'd also like to thank the innumerable people who helped others out to complete their drawings - like The Dark Side of the Moon cover prism, or the Debian spiral.

I'm extra happy with how the Mander face and Megumin turned out. ~~And yes, Megumin's feet kept me awake a whole night.~~

Many weebs have sleepless nights over their waifu's feet

Many weebs have sleepless nights over their waifu’s feet

True that.

(To be frank I never understood Megumin's appeal, but since people were posting anime stuff, I joined in. To each their own, I guess? Plus KonoSuba is fun.)

I think the most discussion and on canvas changes to megumin were over her feet.

[–] lvxferre@mander.xyz 1 points 4 months ago

IIRC the discussion was about redoing the second take of her feet for some depth.
