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.

hello world, i’m joining wordcamp, davao

How do we define blog? What do you think? Well, as for me, my direct answer for that is… WordPress = Blog. But wait, allow me to create another formula, Blog + Web Design = WordPress. Is it? Take a look at any Web Design Gallery that showcases stunningly designed web sites, and you’ll be surprised that a lot of those sites run WordPress underneath.

Ang Pilipino GIMP @ MAD

Hello again my beloved visitors. Due to a busy schedule of work, I haven’t updated this place for quite awhile. This might be a little late. But anyways, better be late than never.

May 15-17, 2008. STI Building, Santiago St. General Santos City, Philippines ~ I assisted my colleague, Mr. Nathaniel Jayme (Philippine’s XUL Master), on a 3 day training/workshop called the MAD WORKSHOP or the Mozilla Application Development Workshop. He trained an approximately 20 participants in different IT sectors on how to create a XUL application and delved in to Mozilla Programming. The same technology used by Firefox, Thunderbird, Songbird, Miro, & Komodo IDE to mention a few. It was also an opportunity to introduce our ongoing project FFEHR (pronounced efer), an Electornic Health Record System, and the underlying technology that has been used.
