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.

Nice one andrew!!
sinabihan mo sana ako para edit pa natin. hehe
btw, nice work! keep it up!
No, you did the nice work. Not just nice but great. Thanks much for covering the event.
Freedom! hehehe.
Just a question, can GIMP work on an ebook cover automatically??? If you will use Adobe Photoshop, you can download several action scripts in creating an ebook, does GIMP have this feature??? Please email me some answers. Thanks..
Or if it does not have that kind of feature, can you work for it??? Hmmmm… to be honest I am new to linux, I am currently using Ubuntu which has a GIMP. So everything is still new to me.

Hi Vince!
I’m sorry but I haven’t tried that in GIMP nor Photoshop. Likewise, I’m a designer so I can’t help you on coding that feature. hehehe.
Just give it some time using GIMP and you’ll get used to it. Soon, you’ll discover a lot of capabilities.
BTW, there’s a new release, GIMP 2.6. You may wanna take a look it’s features. – http://www.gimpusers.com/tutorials/gimp-2-6-new-features.html
