Building Together: Japanese Text Layout in Penpot

Summary

Penpot, the open-source design tool from Spain, is developing Japanese text layout support, and its team is visiting Tokyo to build it together with the local community. This listing is Day 2, a celebratory meetup on December 4 that follows a Day 1 feedback workshop on December 2. Day 2 reviews what changed because of community feedback, introduces contributors, and includes a final showcase, a Q&A with Pablo Ruiz-Muzquiz and Alonso Torres of Penpot, and mingle time. People who skipped Day 1 are welcome. The event is mainly run in English, with AI translation and Japanese-speaking staff available. Entry is 1,000 yen, and attendees must be 20 or older because alcohol is served.
