Re: [Gimp-developer] Press pack
Hi Dave, I made a couple of demos of the new GIMP 2 functionality. I believe it works a lot better than just a list of new functionality. They are divx avis and it's approx 80MB. Feel free to mirror it on the gimp.org website and use it for the 2.0 release extravaganza. http://jimmac.musichall.cz/gimp2demos.php cheers -- Jakub Steiner [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If the video needs to be recoded may I humbly recommend using Xvid. http://www.xvid.org (although perhaps you are already using it merely referring to it as DivX for convenience) It is almost at 1.0, in the prerelease/release candidate stages at the moment. It is a proper open source MPEG 4 implementation. - Alan H ___ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

So - there we go. Any reccommendations before 2.0 should go here, or to the
wiki.
I looked at the article and sometimes browsed the wiki pages as well.
Good work!

[Gimp-developer] Press pack
Hi all,
So, over the weekend I did some work on the press pack, mainly re-wording some
thing in the article (there are some things I removed too) to get to a 4 page
article. The article, with screenshots, is online at
http://scrappy.ath.cx/~bolsh/ - the article itself is in presspack.pdf (1.1MB),
the latex input file is in presspack.tex, and the screenshots for the article
are in that directory too. To re-generate the article, you'll need a recent tex
latex version (I made it with RedHat 8), and you'll need to convert the pngs
to epss - I did this with
for i in *.png; do
convert $i ${i}.eps
done
So - there we go. I have a copy here, and I think it looks pretty good. The text
might need a bit more work, and if anyone wants to comment, they are free to do
so (currently the wiki is down, but I will put the revised text in a different
wiki page, WhatsNewBolshEdit, since I've changed quite a lot). Some of what I
removed were tutorial type key-sequences and some details which I didn't think
fitted well with an introduction article.
Currently there are creditted authors - I think in the final version there
shouldn't be. And the credits do not include the number of people who modified
or improved the wiki page, since I don't have that list.
So - there we go. Any reccommendations before 2.0 should go here, or to the wiki.
Cheers,
Dave.

[Gimp-developer] Press pack requests
Hi all, The 2.0 release is getting closer, and there are still some thing missing from the press pack we want to send out. - Could native english speakers who have a few minutes please look at the What's new in GIMP 2.0 page (http://wiki.gimp.org/gimp/WhatsNew) and correct any grammar problems? - high-res screenshots of The GIMP showing new features are welcome. Examples of the kind of screenshots which are interesting are here: http://jimmac.musichall.cz/stuff/private/gimp-2/html/index.xhtml http://developer.gimp.org/screenshots.html - If anyone would like to donate an article on The GIMP 2.0, it is most welcome (this might also be a source of revenue for funding if magazines re-print it). Thanks a lot, Dave. -- Dave Neary [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer

Hi again, Dave Neary wrote: - If anyone would like to donate an article on The GIMP 2.0, it is most welcome (this might also be a source of revenue for funding if magazines re-print it). Speaking of magazines, that reminds me of one thing we have not done. I have started a new page in PressPack, MagazineAddresses. Could people add the following information: - Magazine name - editor's e-mail address - postal address if available for all Linux, digital photography and image processing magazines in their country? We should split this by country. Thanks very much to Branko Collins for getting this list started with UK and Dutch contacts. An alternative method would be to have volunteers volunteer to send out the press pack for their country to all relevant magazines. It would be a brilliant thing for LUGs to do to cut CDs of The GIMP 2.0 plus all of the extras for cover CDs.
