Hi all, Hi Raph. I just had contact to Mr. Soquat, a member of the staff from the german Ministry of Economics and Technology [1]. He is very interested in how patents are a problem for free software. He asked me about Gimp and Color Management and I had to tell him, that I don't know enough to give good answers - I pointed him to Raphs Colormanagement Page [2] though... At the opening of the Linuxtag there is a chance to present the problem to a higher representative of the Ministry (5. 7. 2001, about 13.15 - 13.55). It would be great if we could collect the relevant information and find a person who is willing to present this at that time (about 5 to 7 minutes...). Ideas? Comments? Thanks, Simon [1] http://www.bmwi.de/Homepage/English%20pages/index.jsp [2] http://www.levien.com/gimp/gcmm.html -- Simon.Budig@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.home.unix-ag.org/simon/
