Moin, OpenUsability (www.openusability.org) is an initiative that brings Open Source Software development and usability together. We have been working with them in the past and I am happy to be able to announce today that OpenUsability is going to sponsor students projects, somewhat similar to the Google Summer of Code, and that GIMP has been chosen as the first project. This is somewhat like a beta test, more such student projects are supposed to follow later this year. In case someone wonders about the financial aspect of this. The student gets paid $700 USD if he/she accomplishes the project goals. This money will be paid from sponsors and I have agreed that in case that sponsorship will not be sufficient, we will contribute from the money that has been donated for the GIMP project. I hope that everyone agrees that this puts the money to good use. I will be sending the official announcement in a separate mail and I would like to also announce this on the website. Perhaps someone can take the time and turn the announcement text into a webpage on gimp.org that we can link from the frontpage?
