This week, StreamComputing launches an educational initiative that aims to get more developers to study and use OpenCL in their projects. Within this project, up to 20 collaborators will port as many GEGL operations to OpenCL as possible.

Join us April 15-18 at the 11th annual Libre Graphics Meeting being hosted by Westminster School of Media Arts and Design in London, UK! Come and meet developers of free graphics software, participate in a workshop, and collaborate with other visual artists who choose to work in free software.

We hope you are having great holidays. Here is our annual report about project activities in 2015.

On April 15—18, Libre Graphics Meeting 2016 conference is taking place in London. We invite you to attend it and meet developers of free graphics software, lead a workshop, or participate in one.

We are excited to announce the first development release of GIMP in the 2.9.x series. It is another major milestone towards making GIMP a state-of-the art image editing application for graphic designers, photographers, illustrators, and scientists.

This week the GIMP project celebrates its 20th anniversary. To celebrate it, we released an update of the current stable version of GIMP.

We have just released new versions of GEGL and babl, the libraries that take all the heavy lifting for color space conversion and image processing in GIMP.

This is the GIMP project’s official statement on SourceForge’s actions in regard to “abandoned” projects on their service.

We are receiving reports that people who get to SourceForge for GIMP installers for Windows receive small installers that include additional software.

During Libre Graphics Meeting 2015 last week in Toronto our very own Jehan Pagès announced a new open animated movie project, ZeMarmot.
