Upcoming

Next FOSUG Meeting: Saturday March 20th, 2010

March's Topic: Features and Usability of GIMP

When faced with the high cost of Photoshop, some wonder if it's possible to find an image editor/creator that can get the job done without breaking the bank. The GIMP (Gnu Image Manipulation Program) is an open source, cross-platform program that offers powerful features that go way beyond MS Paint, for free. Ronnie Ugulano has been using Gimp as her primary image editor/creation program for over a year, and still has not hit the bottom of its bag tricks. Bring your laptop preloaded with Gimp, and join Ronnie and the Fresno Open Source Users Group for a hands-on tour of this very powerful program.

If you would like to actively participate in this demonstration, and you will be bringing a Windows-based laptop, you can:

• download GIMP for Windows XP

• download GIMP for Windows 2000

We will be meeting in The Clovis Public Safety Community Room at: 1233 Fifth Street Clovis, CA 93612 the 3rd Saturday from 3:30-5:30 for all of 2010. We are very happy to have a new home, and look forward to all we can learn and teach in the coming year.

• FOSUG Dinner - FOSUG dinner is often held at our favorite location, Shanghai Chinese Cuisine. Dinner times and locations are discussed in the IRC chat and on the mailing list, and then posted here. FOSUG Dinners are a great way to meet the group, and ask questions about Linux/Open Source in a relaxed setting. Newcomers are welcome! Dinners are served family style, and generally run about $10 per person.

• If you have an idea for a demonstration on an open source OS or software, please post your idea to the mailing list.
