Hi all, I'd like to publish something like this article on LWN, please check it over and let me know if anything else needs to be added:
Synfig is a powerful, industrial-strength vector-based 2D animation software package, designed from the ground-up for producing feature-film quality animation. It was initially a proprietary app produced by Voria Studios for internal use and when the company closed down, Synfig was GPLed and development turned over to the free software community. http://www.synfig.com/ http://www.synfig.com/overview/ Synfig version 0.61.06 was released on June 24th 2007. It is the result of more than a year of contributions by the free software community. It has much fewer bugs, several usability enhancements, a set of new Tango-styled icons and other improvements. Some examples of what can be achieved can be found on the following sites: http://www.synfig.com/gallery/ http://wiki.synfig.com/Gallery http://youtube.com/results?search_query=synfig http://www.videoplayer.es/tag/synfig/ As usual, synfig needs your help. If you know GTKmm and or C++, are an artist or writer, can document things, are willing to learn or are otherwise interested in helping with synfig, please join the mailing lists and IRC channel and start helping out. There will be an IRC and gobby meeting for artists, developers and all other interested persons on July XXth. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.synfig.com/PaulWise ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
