I'm doing a generalized graphics talk at ALS and will be attempting to show, very briefly, some of the more interesting tools available for artists. Ivan Reyes from LinuxArtist.org is going to help me with a few things (he's working on getting a 2.4 kernel built to run USB and FireWire demos). We hope to have multiple demos running at the same time if possible - sort of a eye-candy for the soul kinda thing. It's a short talk, unfortunately, so we won't be able to go into too much depth there. If possible (and there is interest) I'll try to arrange a BOF session where people can look a little deeper at some of these tools. I was wondering if anyone from the Gimp Dev. group was going and would be interested in showing Gimp 1.2. Garry R. Osgood, Calvin Williamson, and Dean Johnson helped me out with a Gimp talk at LinuxWorld in NYC in February and made that talk much better than it would otherwise have been (thanks guys!). If possible it would be nice to have someone show off a drawing tablet again, as Garry did at LinuxWorld. Garry/Calvin/Dean - any of you guys going to ALS in October? Oh, FYI - ALS = Atlanta Linux Showcase, October 12-14th. If anyone is going and would like to help out, or would be interested in a Gimp BOF (which I haven't scheduled yet), let me know. -- Michael J.
