[Gimp-user] testing GAP with our latest GIMP author
hi, i am in an interesting situation here. i live in the same area as the latest gimp author http://gimpbook.com/ this area is Mountain View, California. it is very much to my dismay that i have not *seen* akkana since we celebrated her birthday in 2004. i humbly submit that i also did not press her or ask her to take time from her busy life to spend time with me. i asked once, i determined that if this was not enough to get a time in her very very busy schedule, that i would just be privately sad about this and wait until the book came out. well, the book is out now and interestingly enough, the GIMP Animation Plug-in is in need of testing before its release. i would like to kill two birds with one stone (which is an old fashioned phrase meaning to do to jobs at one time) and get some movies of akkana signing her book. akkana has suggested that we meet at a linux user group. the problem i have with the local linux user groups is that the public is invited, but if friends and people you know are not available to help you to attend, they are not so public after all. (something like the demolition plans that were mentioned in Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, where the plans were made public, but in a basement and filed safely from notice) i would like the opportunity to use my little camera to film akkana at a real book signing. like at a mall of one of the local bookstores. i am not afraid of the real public, in fact, by now, i would prefer it. akkana herself is very experienced with the professional world, having been hired at one time by mozilla and also from her work with the local astronomy club. me, all i can do apparently is to write about how other people are able to use GIMP in this world. i am fine with this role. i don't even mind extending my debt just a little more to enable Akkana to advance even further in life than she already has in the world of free software. it would be my honor and pleasure, even. any ideas about accessible local bookstores for Akkana to have a book signing that i can film? thanks, carol ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

I was getting those above conflicts while trying to install fontconfig and fontconf-devel, but using another source installs them without conflicts and Gimp 1.3.20 runs happily now.

You should be careful here since it might be a bad idea to overwite /etc/fonts/fonts.conf since this is the system-wide font configuration for everything that uses fontconfig. I would suggest you make a backup of this file before you install fontconfig. Overwriting the DTD shouldn't do any harm.

These are just a few of the conflicts I get when trying to install fontconfig files. file /etc/fonts/fonts.conf from install of fontconfig-2.2.0-14 conflicts with file from package xf86tools-0.1-537 file /etc/fonts/fonts.dtd from install of fontconfig-2.2.0-14 conflicts with file from package XFree86-4.3.0-15 - I haven't tried to force it to see if anything bad happens, but obviously XFree86 is something that is needed to do X graphics, right?

[Gimp-user] testing the Creative Commons License
due to a series of good plans, good taste and a bunch of accidents and good calls, i have finally managed to accumlate all of the tools that a 15 to 25 year old could use to have fun and show off with their computer. i at least managed to do this before i turned 42. now i am trying to organize some of the young adults i know into helping me grab some of the teenagers who are hanging out where i work and get them to play with these tools of mine. i would like to start testing the Creative Commons License out. I had some good luck on my website with this sort of approach to sharing and selling art; i would like to do it again. And it would be nice if it could be one of these kids, right now they are just hanging out, bowling and or shop lifting. better to help me to test drive a licence out, i think. i really need some help organizing. i am asking this list to help me with a plan for me to follow. right now, i fiddle with each toy a little each day, and i am not getting anywhere. can anyone help me settle down and find some order to all this stuff? thanks, carol -- The sooner you fall behind, the more time you have to catch up. ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
