With Krita's recent 1.6 release enhancing its usability for professional artwork, the Krita team is looking into creating a gallery where Krita users can contribute their art made with it. Any decent gallery needs to be seeded with some initial artwork. So we are asking any Krita user who might want to show his painting skills, to consider making us a pretty painting.

The KOffice raster image editor Krita reached version 1.6 along with the rest of the office suite earlier this month. But don't be misled; although Krita comes bundled with KOffice, it is not a second-tier productivity accessory like Microsoft Office Picture Manager. Krita is a fully-loaded raster graphics workhorse that stands on its own.
Krita 1.6 is included in the main KOffice source packages, and also available separately in contributed binary packages. KOffice is built for KDE 3.3 or later; Krita itself depends only on the koffice-libs, koffice-data, and krita-data packages.

This time I attended the GNOME Live! summit in Boston at the MIT. Thanks to Behdad Esfabod from Pango and [...]

Installing a scanner on linux
Since going back in Toulouse, six months ago, I never took the time to reinstall my good old hp scanner. So I did it, it's really nice to see how linux has improve in the past few years, about a year or two ago, I would have to spend more than an hour to figure out how to configure my linux box to recognize the scanner, now it's really "plug and lets the fun begin".
The actual playing
I am still a little bit old fashion when it comes to photography. But the digital camera (even the best one) aren't even close to the quality and the feel of my silver-film reflex camera. Especially when it comes to black and white pictures. I still have a digital camera to take all the pictures without considering how costly is silver-film.

... wether a graphics application support CMYK or not, each time there is an article about this application, there is a lot of comments around CMYK. Each time, the gimp has released a new version, someone would ask "do this,at last, support CMYK ?", or if the question "what application do you miss on linux ?" is raised, someone will answer photoshop because of its support of CMYK.
So now, krita supports well CMYK since 1.5 (actually some CMYK support was introduced in 1.4, but as a demo), Monday, we have release a new version, and I can see some comments about how useless it is to support CMYK (wether it is on slashdot or the dot).

After three weeks of bug smashing, and of polishing, KOffice 1.6 is ready for its first (and hopefully only) Release Candidate. Including a lot of bugs fixes since beta. As it is the last planned release before the final version, we will need a lot of people to start using it for real work.

While everyone seems to be packing and preparing for the Akademy, now that KOffice 1.6 is at the last stage of release, I started yesterday to forward port my changes from 1.6 to trunk.
My first impressions weren't so good. A lot of cosmetic changes, a lot of new stuff to relearn. But after a while, you get used to them, and most of them makes a lot of sense, even more sense than what was before in Qt3/KDE3.
