[Gimp-developer] VALS Semester of Code

2014-06-13 Thread Alexandre Prokoudine
Hi,

Someone on #krita has just brought this to my attention:

http://osswatch.jiscinvolve.org/wp/2014/05/23/vals-semester-of-code-foss-projects-wanted/

The VALS Semester of Code is an upcoming project that will work with
universities andFOSS communities to give students real-world
experience working in software projects.  Unlike Google Summer of
Code, Semester of Code students will be participating for academic
credit as part of their degree courses, and we hope that after
completion of their project will go on to be effective contributors to
the FOSS community.

The VALS initiative is a partership of European universities and SMEs
who have been working for several months to plan the pilot of Semester
of Code, which will run during the next academic year.  We have now
reached the stage where we are signing up FOSS projects who are
willing to provide mentored projects of students. We have already seen
interest from smaller, single-company projects to larger software
foundations, and would like to see more.

If you are part of a FOSS project, large or small, that would be
willing to provide one or more mentored projects, we’d love to talk to
you about joining Semester of Code.  In return, you’ll get an
enthusiastic student providing a valuable contribution to your
project.  The VALS team will be on hand throughout the project to
answer any questions and help unblock communication issues between
mentors, students and academic supervisors.

Are we interested? Apparently Ed J contacted them already, right?

[Gimp-developer] Latest Gimp git (git pull today) Opening NEF images

2014-06-13 Thread Partha Bagchi
Gimp cannot open a D800 NEF image (36 MP) (fuzzy static), partially opens a
D610 image (24 MP).

 It is able to open a D7000 (16.7MP), D300, D50 NEF images fine.

When the D800 image is converted to TIFF with dcraw, the TIFF of course
opens fine.

Windows 8.1 64bit 16G RAM etc.

Thanks,
Partha

gimp does *not* support proprietary formats, nef is cw by nvidia.  You
need to use ufraw which has a a gimp plugin, at least for linux, to
convert the file to a format gimp can read.  I seem to recall a windows
executable for ufraw *is* available.

Did nVidia acquire Nikon? I don't think so :)

I don't think you need to lecture Partha about UFRaw :) He's been
using it for years. The question is whether he has UFRaw 0.19 and
newer.

The Nikon website asserts plainly that the NEF format is Exclusive to Nikon.
NEF stands for Nikon Electronic Format.
