Proposed Photo managers for Ubuntu 10.04, Lucid Lynx
,----[ Quote ]
| All of you would know by now that Ubuntu Devels
| are planning to remove GIMP as a default
| program. This has led to a lot of discussions
| among them about the default photo manager for
| Ubuntu Lucid that will compensate for it. They
| are not supposed to be as powerful as GIMP but
| should be able to handle some minimal image
| manipulations. In this article, we will look
| into the 3 top competitors F-Spot, Shotwell and
| Solang.
|
| And we will see what all features each of them
| aims to provide to be considered as the default
| photo manager cum image manipulator and viewer
| for Lucid.
|
| Shotwell
|
| Shotwell is an opensource photo manager
| designed for Gnome Desktop Environment. Instead
| of just being a photo organizer it is capable
| of doing some small image manipulations too
| like reducing red-eye, rotate, crop and mirror
| photos.

GIMP to go Mono to stay?

Mono sinks its claws into Fedora
,----[ Quote ]
| The project has been dogged by controversy
| because many people reason that, as many
| parts of .NET have not been released to
| ECMA, a private standards organisation,
| implementing those parts may lead to patent
| problems down the line.
|
| In June this year, the Fedora project
| announced that it had decided to get rid of
| Tomboy, a note-taking application dependent
| on Mono and replace it with Gnote, a port
| of Tomboy in C++/Gtkmm released by former
| Novell developer Hubert Figuiere.
|
| Earlier this year, when Microsoft made what
| appeared to be a promise not to sue those
| who implemented the ECMA-covered parts of
| .NET, de Icaza admitted that he had been
| developing parts of .NET which were not
| covered by the specification, even though
| he had been developing Mono for nearly
| eight years.
