Dear GIMP developers, In about a week (that is, around February 15, 2000), my book "Grokking the GIMP" will become available for sale from both bookstores and online sources. This announcement is to let you know that Laurie Petrycki, my editor at New Riders Publishing, has generously agreed to send a complimentary copy of the book to each of the "core" developers of the GIMP. The definition we finally agreed on for the core developers are those persons whose names are listed in the file "about_dialog.c" as of version 1.1.15 of the GIMP (see attached list). To let you know a little about the book, "Grokking the GIMP" is a full 4-color, intermediate to advanced guide. Its goal is to explain the most powerful tools in the GIMP, and how to use these tools in the most effective ways. In addition to the conceptual approach adopted by the book, nine major projects, as well as many smaller ones, present the practical aspects of using the GIMP for advanced image manipulation work. The book covers in detail photo touchup, image enhancement, image compositing, rendering, and image development for the Web. For more on the book, you can visit the New Riders Web-site at http://www2.newriders.com/cfm/prod_book.cfm?RecordID=307. I am also happy to announce that the book will be available under an open publication license. I am currently setting up the Web-site that will make the contents of "Grokking the GIMP" available to the public at large, and I hope to debut the site before the end of February 2000. I plan to send an individual e-mail to each of the persons named in the following list. However, because I am not sure that all the e-mail addresses I have are correct, and because I am missing the addresses of several listed developers I am asking you to help notify those who may not be reading this mailing list. For those of you on the following list who are interested in receiving a complimentary copy of "Grokking the GIMP", please send me your snail-mail address and indicate whether you would like me to sign your copy.
