I had made a mistake in my previous mail, kindly read the "krita supports 32 bit color" as "Krita supports 16 bits per channel images". Bala.

For groupware related software, kolab, hula, opengroupware etc might be useful. >Of course, photo journalists could use Gimp, and cartoonists may be able >to use ktoon or inkscape. Gimp (upto version 2.2.8) does not support CMYK colorspaces, which appears to be important for publishing tasks. There is a plugin which provides partial functionality. Krita supports CMYK, openEXR, 32bit colors, etc. It also supports watercolor simulation. Regards, Balachandran.

An Aside: Rehnquist Dead
by Ramanraj K 05 Sep '05

05 Sep '05

A brief biography of Chief Justice William Hubbs Rehnquist (born October 1, 1924 - died September 3, 2005) has been published at http://www.juiceenewsdaily.com/0605/news/ren.html <quote> Rehnquist wrote the decision Diamond v. Diehr, which made a hole in the dike against software patents in the United States erected by Justice Stevens in Parker v. Flook; the dike collapsed within a few years and software patenting is now virtually unlimited. </quote> Rehnquist also dissented in Roe v. Wade. The meaningful decision in Parker v. Flook is published online at http://digital-law-online.info/cases/198PQ193.htm and it remains to be seen if the US Supreme Court would recast Parker v. Flook in the years to come. -Ramanraj

FSUG in Thrissur?
by Tinku Sampath 29 Aug '05

29 Aug '05

Hello everybody, I have been here, in this mailing list, for a month. I am Tinku Sampath from Kerala. I am doing 4th semester of MCA at Govt. Engineering College, Thrissur, Kerala. As some of you know, we MCA students were behind the Renaissance 2005, the well appreciated, but at the same time unpopular national seminar on Free and Open Source Software which was held on last February at the college. We organized the event as the first little contribution to the Free Software community from our part. Hope that Renaissance 2006 will be realized in a more passionate way and will fulfill everyones expectation. Let me come to the purpose of this mail. We are planning to build a Free Software Users Group (FSUG) for our college. At this occasion, we would like to know is there are any other FSUGs or LUGs or GLUGs or any kind of that working now concentrating Thrissur. If there, we can together form an active one. I think, this will be a great opportunity for our college students to contribute their technical abilities in promoting the FLOSS. If there is any existing group, please mail me with details as soon as possible. I would like to invite each member of this group to contribute their ideas or dream about an FSUG. I am sure that your experience and expertise will help us in various matters. - Tinku Sampath
