Xubuntu Winning Artwork

Posted: September 6th, 2010, 12:13pm CDT by nhandler

AND THE WINNER IS …

I want to thank all the artists that submitted artwork for Xubuntu Maverick Meerkat, soon to become Xubuntu 10.10. We certainly got some great images from you. The artwork was selected by vote of the Xubuntu Team after some discussion. The actual wallpaper is now in Maverick Meerkat.

All of the submitted art is on display at [https:]. The winning wallpaper is Xubuntu 10.10 / Balls/Curve. We also selected the GTK Theme that was submitted, Zuki Blues.

The Shimmer Project team did the final polishing of the theme for Xubuntu, including the Elementary Icon set. The final package is called Bluebird, and is really good. With the addition of Bluebird, Xubuntu has both an excellent dark theme, named Albatross, and an excellent light theme, called Bluebird. Albatross will remain a working, usable theme in Xubuntu.

Back to the title, the real winner here is all the Xubuntu users, who will once again have great artwork in the new release. With the addition of Bluebird, users have a real choice between light and dark. Again, many thanks to those who did submit art and to the Shimmer Project ([shimmerproject.org]) for their fantastic work.

Cardapio - A lean application menu and launcher for Gnome

Posted: September 5th, 2010, 6:49pm CDT by admin
Cardapio can work in two modes: as a panel applet (in which case it is an alternative to Gnome’s application menu applet) or as a stand-alone launcher (in which case it is an alternative to the simplest use-cases of Gnome Do). It has a beautiful gtk-native interface and includes plugins for performing inline searches of Files (via Tracker), Software Center, Google, Wikipedia, and much more!

Open Source Tools For Professional Photographers

Posted: September 5th, 2010, 5:16am CDT

Professional photographers through their pictures capture the true essence involving people, places, or things. They take pictures to sell products, entertain people, report the news, or bring back memories. All this involves lots of graphic work such as editing for invites, posters, magazine covers, touch ups etc.

Did you know there is a good collection of open source software available at a professional photographer's disposal ?

This includes tools for basic color correction and adjustment (called profiling), photo management software, graphics editing software, and of course publishing tools which allow you to share your photos with the outside world.

If you are a professional photographer or an aspiring one, then the article Photography with Open Source / Linux will be a great help for you. This article written by Nathan Willis delves deep into the various tools that aid you to create photographic masterpieces.

I especially like the tools he covers in the "Effects section" such as GIMP, Liquid rescale, Hugin etc. Hugin is used to stitch images seamlessly.

Check out the fine article courtesy of WorldLabel blog.
