ICC DevCon08
was a great opportunity to meet colour people in person. Many thanks to ICC
for opening the door to speek at the
conference about
Linux. It was a fairly
small talk compared to what others provided. But it was as well for many the
first introduction about the possibility to do colour management on Linux at all.
So first of all I gave a introduction about licensing and commercials, as this
is most often confused by IT managers.
It was very nice to meet Max Derhak, who implemented the mpet tag and developed
on the multiProcessElementsType for better support of floating point processing
inside ICC profiles. The tag was developed to better support colour conversions
for the motion pictures industry. Great to see that there is communication
possible to that extent. We looked over the license issue of SampleICC and
figured out how to best solve that. He has interessting things on the plan
together with ICC.
Meeting people on the streets of Portland, and I do not think this is specific
to this city, had a flair like wild west. Many pedestrians where distant at more
than a arm's lenght and keept a cautious tone at a first glance. The border
between civilised politeness and the feeling of attention in face of a tiger
was very fuzzy. Instinctively I had to think about the citicens right in the US
to own gun wappons. On the other hand I saw many signs of openness as I found
in Europe, if I may compare, mostly in Amsterdam. So I found a nice place of
showing quite some tensions.
