Here's an opportunity to write some FOSS graphics history, everyone: "VGC Illustration" presents a technologically novel - and having tried it I will say *artistically superior* - approach to illustrative vector graphics. It's developed by a 1 (soon 2) person team that has serious industry and technical research credentials (Pixar, Siggraph) while at the same time being fervent open source lovers and actually developing their research as FOSS since years. Boris (the lead dev) has now fully dedicated his life mission to making VGC Illustration (and soon Animation) a sustainable open source business, and all he's asking for is pretty much peanuts considering the magnitude and scope this could soon have. If the kickstarter (which started only an hour ago and is already 10% funded!) does not work out, VGC is probably dead, so I think this is a lifetime opportunity for us to give support to establish a new powerful player and unique technological cornerstone in FOSS graphics. To conclude: Please, for the love of FOSS, throw money at this! :)

PSA: if anyone emails you from krita.biz, krita.io or krita.com with this "proposal", DO NOT FALL FOR IT, it's a scam. We don't own those domains and we will never spam you. Please spread the word!

Look-and-feel wise you’ll notice elementary OS 6 feels fresh not only because of the refreshed system style, but thanks to new default wallpapers. The defaults were designed and openly-licensed in partnership with the Freehive creative agency and photographer Brendon Porter.

elementary OS 6 empowers you to be in control and express yourself. First, we protect your data from ourselves and others by not collecting it. It’s the ethical thing to do; you have a fundamental right to the utmost privacy, even from products you trust. https://elementary.io/privacy

« #GIMP has been developed as a community effort since very early on, after its original authors left the project. This begs the question of sustainability when contributors wish to stay longer while not being able to afford being penniless volunteers forever. » https://www.gimp.org/news/2021/07/27/support-gimp-developers-sustainable-development/

GTK3 just got Windows Ink support merged in, which means that @GIMP_Official 3 will get improved graphics tablet support on Windows (ink drivers additionally to legacy Wintab ones; a long awaited feature) ! 🥳 Thanks to the awesome work by Luca Bacci ! 👏

Flatpak, the project itself, is now on OpenCollective. If you like how far it has come and would like to see development continue please consider donating them a couple bucks.
