[SGVLUG] Dec meeting set.. Robin Rowe presents..

[Robin Rowe]

Matti,

> OK! Sounds good to me also!

December 8th. Cinepaint project leader Robin Rowe presents Glasgow, the next 
generation CinePaint architecture.

CinePaint is a 32-bit deep paint program used to do frame-by-frame 
retouching during the production of feature films at many studios. It was 
originally developed by GIMP and became orphaned in 2000. The CinePaint 
project is a group of motion picture industry developers who came together 
in 2002 and reused some forgotten GIMP code, not a group of estranged GIMP 
developers as some suppose.

A research team at Glasgow University began building a next generation 
architecture for CinePaint in 2004. This ground-up code rewrite, codenamed 
Glasgow, is intended to release the end of 2005. The new design reuses the 
best design ideas of the legacy CinePaint architecture together with fresh 
ideas from the film industry to create a new open lightweight 
component-based architecture for image manipulation and processing. Glasgow 
uses FLTK instead of GTK and will operate at the command-line without a GUI.
