[Gimp-developer] Large donation
Hi all, I just found out from Tim Ney that the GIMP has received a donation of over $5000 from Hiroyuki Ikezoe in Japan. I really don't know what to say - individual donations of this size are rare, and I am flattered that we have been the recipîents of such generosity. I will do the sums of the donations which we have received over the past year, and let everyone know approximately how much money the GNOME Foundation is holding for us. Cheers, Dave. -- David Neary [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
[Gimp-developer] Organising a conference
Hi all, A separate mail to talk about what we can do with the money we have now. It is certainly enough to start planning a GIMPCon, if someone is willing to put the work into doing that. If we do plan a GIMPCon, though, I would recommend being a little more open about it than the summit type events which we had in Berlin and at GUADEC. We should try to organise a couple of days of talks and demos open to the public, and why not get some Inkscape, Scribus, OO Draw and Blender people involved and make it a Free Graphics Con. One candidate, if people are interested, would be to join up with Blender Con, which is planned for October, in Amsterdam. Just to be clear, I am not in a position to put time into this. If we are to have a GIMPCon this year, someone else will have to organise it. I have no problem being an intermediary with the GNOME Foundation for money, though. Cheers, Dave. -- David Neary [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.xcf.berkeley.edu http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

[Gimp-developer] student paper question
Greetings! I am a student at UNT and one of my classes focuses on the Free Software movement, licensing, and more. I am doing a paper on GIMP which I had the pleasure of using 4 years ago at my former job. We were advised to interview the creators of the project that we picked. I know that the original guys - Spencer Kimball and Peter Mattis - are no longer involved in the project. However, GIMP seems to be an active project with lots of contributors so I am going to give these two lists a shot. If you would like to respond to any of the simple questions below, please email me directly. Thank you so much for any input you can provide. I look forward to sharing the joys of GIMP with my classmates. What about GIMP drew you to the project? In what ways have you used GIMP? In what ways have you contributed to the project? With so many features already included in GIMP, where do you see the project heading next? What testing is done prior to a release of a new version that is not a fix? Has the agenda for the GIMPCon 2005 been created? If so, anything you can share? Are you involved in other free software projects? THANKS! slc Stacy L.
