Hi, I would like to let you give you some update on the OpenUsability sponsored student project that we announced in August. Here's the announcement again in case you lost the URL: http://www.gimp.org/announcements/open-usability-gimp.html During the application period that lasted until the 10th of September we have received a number of applications from all over the world. Fourteen people applied for the position, coming from Europe, USA, Russia and India. Peter has lead the selection process and describes this effort in his blog: http://www.mmiworks.net/eng/publications/2006/09/selecting-associate-for-gimp.html In the end, Kamila Giedrojć was chosen and she has since then worked with Peter on the project. The next step is to create a number of representative usage scenarios. For this purpose we have arranged a small meeting (9 persons) next weekend in Essen, Germany. There, Kamila and Peter will get the chance to talk to people involved in GIMP user support and meet authors of the GIMP user manual as well as GIMP developers. We will compensate for the room and travel costs from the money that GIMP has collected from donations. Will try to keep you uptodate on the proceedings, but don't expect much before the weekend. Still no connectivity in my new appartment... BTW, since Dave has retired from his job as the GIMP treasurer, we should seek for someone to fill in this position. Currently I am doing this job, but I would prefer if someone else could take over. The job involves thanking people who donate money, updating our sponsors page from time to time and of course keeping contact to the GNOME foundation who is holding the GIMP money for us.
