Re: [Gimp-user] What Features you want in GIMP (Crowdfunding)

2013-09-17 Thread Bastian Hougaard
I just wanted to spread the word about freedomsponsors.org in that
regard:
http://freedomsponsors.org/core/issue/?s=project_id=130project_name=GIMP
http://freedomsponsors.org/core/issue/?s=project_id=125project_name=GEGL+%28the+new+GIMP+engine%29

There are users who have put bounties on several bugs and features - I
think it is a great way for gimp users to show their support for the
voluntary team. The best thing is that anyone who wants to do so can
easily sign up for a bug and do the necessary work to receive the
bounties (provided the solution lives up to people's requirements).

You can also propose to work on a bug/feature there - and you don't really have 
to have an account, just sign up through Google/BitBucket/Github/twitter/yahoo.

Just thought I would share.

Regards,
Bastian

 As you know there is a popular request for the gimp team to do a crowdfunding
 effort. With the hpotetical money they could raise, they could easily get more
 manpower to
 
 1.-Finish their longterm goals faster (I am looking at you gimp 2.)
 2.-Implement the changes they want
 3.-Implement new improvements and feautures we want.
 
 If hypotethically the gimp team accepted a kickstarter/crowdfunding effort,
 wich feautres would you want the most.
 
 Pleas post area and idea
 
 example
 
 Painting/ More brush dynamics and control.
 Photography/antiblur tool (I just made that up)
 
 The goal is to give the gimp team an idea of what they could focus on provided
 they ever accept crowdfunding as on one email I sent them there was the issue 
 on
 deciding wich features to focus on.
 
 Have fun!

Re: [Gimp-user] Funding a Microsoft developer

Hi Steve,

 Hey,
 
 I wonder if it would be a good thing to do a Kickstarter type of
 campaign, to raise money to hire a developer to work on integrating
 the GIMP with Microsoft platforms, or to put bounties on solutions
 for specific bugs/issues?

Have you heard of the website called FreedomSponsors? I think it is an
excellent place to put bounties on solutions for bugs, issues and
features. There is currently three bugs open for GIMP with bounties on:
http://www.freedomsponsors.org/core/issue/?s=project_id=130project_name=GIMP

If a developer were up for working on integrating GIMP with Microsoft
platforms, he could propose to work on a bug over at freedomsponsors
similar to how Nicolas Robidoux did:

http://www.freedomsponsors.org/core/issue/78/add-other-samplers-that-properly-reduce-downsample-and-warp-images

Just thought I wanted to chime in about that. :-)

Re: [Gimp-user] Video tutorials

2013-03-14 Thread Bastian Hougaard
When I started out, I followed Meet The GIMP postcasts, starting from
episode 1. The version of GIMP used in the first episodes are quite old,
but the in the big picture, the basic way of doing things still apply.

Good luck!
