Ok as I dive yet head first in to another hobby and shed some "non-productive" ones (HAM) it all comes back to be grounded in OSS. I speak of getting back in to Photography, but this time with focus on really understanding what I am doing and need to do.
Every amateur and pro needs back end processing, usually done on Adobe's Photoshop and or Lightroom. But as Adobe's new pay each month policy http://www.lifehacker.com.au/2013/05/what-photoshops-move-to-the-cloud-actually-means-for-you/most people are looking for an alternative. One option is http://www.digikam.org/ a program created by photographers focused on there needed. Thus I will ask the obligatory question if and when I become proficient enough, would a talk in this subject be of interest to the group? Also of note are these two local Photography groups: http://www.midhudsonphotographyclub.org http://www.hvphotonet.org/ If anyone has any insights in to these local groups *please contact me off the list.* The idea is to create a presentation on Digikam and be able to "re-use" it for other groups. To "introduce" F/OSS to people that may not have been formally introduced. Joe Apuzzo
