OpenICC and Google Summer of Code 2008
OpenICC is a Freedesktop project that brings together just about everyone
who is interested in color for free software applications. That's:
ArgyllCMS, CinePaint, Cups, GraphicsMagick, Gimp, Gutenprint, ImageMagick,
Inkscape, Krita, karbon, LittleCMS, LPROF, Scribus and Oyranos. And, of
course, what's happening here has influence on the the Linux desktops.
This year OpenICC has been selected again as one of the projects that
can participate in the Google Summer of Code!
Hot topics for this year are the integration of a colour management system
into low level services, like Xorg and Cairo, HDR colour management,
hardware accelerated colour conversions, true multiple monitor support,
again Tonemapping and a toolkit independent GUI layer for plug-ins and CMM's.
Of course we are happy about continuing and improving our existing
applications, libraries and all being mentored by experienced developers.
The project ideas range from very simple "get familiar with open source"
style projects to advanced topics. Given they are all cross platform, they
have potential to influence colour management not only on Linux. With
students entering this round we hope to get closer to a colour managed
desktop with fun.
