# On Disruption & Killer Apps with Scott Elcomb

There'll be a short half-hour presentation on the history of Atomic OS and 
related improvements in web technology since the last release. The presentation 
will then be followed by an interactive session to discuss philosophical 
questions surrounding disruption, the meaning of "success" in the context of

# Open Source Graphics Suite Panel

Join Stewart, Trent, and Myles in discussing their practical
experiences using a variety of open source graphics packages and
suites.

Bring your questions for our panelists!

## Panelists

Stewart Russell is a Linux user who should probably be kept away from
admin, dev and other sharp objects. He draws mostly geometric patterns
and enjoys unusual output devices such as pen plotters. He mostly
works in Inkscape, but also finds graphical uses for Gimp, Darktable,
QCAD, OpenSCAD, Processing, Perl, PostScript, Python, netpbm and —
when all else fails — ink and gouache.

Some of his work is here:


---

Trent Drake is a freelance artist, with two decades experience in
drawing anthropomorphic characters. A former qualitative data analyst,
he continues to branch out in game design, animation, cartooning. He
also directs and produces independent video productions for community
organizations and YouTube.

He works in Windows, using Inkscape, GIMP, and Blender.

Links to content:

* The Safety Prance: Lyricist, prop-builder, director:


* Pixel art gallery:

Myles Braithwaite is a web developer who sometimes has to designs user
interfaces. He accomplishes this by using Open Source design tools
like Inkscape for icons and wireframes, Dia for structure diagrams,
and GNUpaint for rough sketching. He enjoys manipulating SVG files and
manipulate them with Python and CSS (he was doing it before it was in
vogue). On the rare occasion he has to interact with dead trees he
uses Scribus to design page layouts.
