angpilipinogimp at software freedom day 2008, davao celebration

Time flies when your having fun. It’s been another year of Software Freedom Day. Previously, I was able to present GIMP at MAD Workshop in General Santos City, Philippines. This time, I was given the chance to speak with a bigger audience in a magnanimous event called Software Freedom Day 2008 (Davao Celebration). Details on this event at feathevane’s and neural.brew’s post.

Here’s the video presentation provided by, non other than, the Filipino Blender Artist, Ragingmon. More of Ragingmon’s Software Freedom Day 2008 – Davao coverage video album

Please don’t mind tons of grammatical errors. hehehe.

And on more thing. I want to point out another error when I said about Cinepaint.

Studios such as Sony Pictures Imageworks and many smaller studios use CinePaint. Disney, DreamWorks, and Pixar funded Crossover (Wine) to make Adobe Photoshop for Windows run nicely on Linux and that’s what they use. Some studios use proprietary or internally developed tools. CinePaint is open source software. Nobody is obligated to tell us they use it. Studios use many Linux motion picture applications, not just CinePaint. This list of studios using CinePaint is just some we know about. From Cinepaint’s website.

Gotta have to be careful next time. Whew, the careless me. ahihi.

The original post is at feathervane.blogspot.com. I’m re-posting this one.

September 4, 2008. Bryan’s Grill & Café, Davao City, Philippines. Welcome my dear readers. First of all, I wanna extend my gratitude to the people behind WordCamp Philippines, specially to Mr. Bloggie Robillo for the undying effort on making WordCamp Davao a success. WordCamp Davao was a mini event of the WordCamp Philippines 2008. It was an informal gathering attended by individuals and groups in Davao City who were interested in WordPress.
