...
Since my post
"Pixel 1.0 final next year" and
"Pixel 1.0: Release soon or Vaporware again?" a lot of time goes by without a final release of the image editor
Pixel. Now
Pawel Kanzelsberger wrote "...Pixel Studio Pro is still not ready for market release (and we’re working hard to prepare it for the market)".
Besides that he released a maintenance release of
Beta 0.8 that includes a Linux version too.

...
The Gnome Color Management project has now
it's own website. GNOME Color Manager is a session framework for the GNOME desktop environment that makes it easy to manage, install and generate color profiles. They integrated ArgyllCMS for calibrating devices. A lot of the progress and the details can be found on
Richard Hughes blog too.

operating system, ubuntu, linux
This year seems to be a year of operating systems. There was
Ubuntu Jaunty,
Moblin 2, the announcement of
Chrome OS,
Snow Leopard from Apple,
WebOS for the Palm Pre and
Windows 7.
Besides the release of Jaunty all these releases has no real impact to me but today i switched to Ubuntu
Karmic Koala which is another fine Ubuntu release - and that rocks me

image editor, imaging, linux, GIMP
Over GetDeb.net i explored various interesting image utilies (most of them i'd like to see as a
GIMP plugin):
Seam Carving GUI...a utility for content aware image resizing very simliar to the Liquid Rescale plugin for GIMP (inluded in the package
GIMP-plugin-registry). Seam Carving GUI is available for MacOS X and Windows too.
Tintii...is a coloring utility - available for Photoshop too but not for GIMP
Smilla Enlarger...raster image enlarger that uses smart curves algorithms to avoid pixelization and blurring artifacts. Smilla Enlarger is available for MacOS X and Windows too.

This year Gran Canaria hosted both the
Akademy and GUADEC conferences. The most important hackers from KDE and GNOME were for the first time at the same place.
Now the
videos of a large amount of talks are available. My favorite one is
Matthew Paul Thomas about Common interface bloopers - really true, very funny

A first view of possible interface changes of Firefox 4 are available. May they look very simliar to Safari 4 and Opera 10 but i really like these first steps:
-(LocBar).png/440px-Mockup-4-0-Vista-(TabsBottom)-(LocBar).png)
I do not know why they choose the ugly Vista screen first but may there is the userbase of the future.

color profiles, reader, adobe, acrobat
...
After the last security updates 8.1.3 and 8.1.4 now the
new Adobe Reader 9.1 is available for Linux too. Like ever it isn't the fast PDF viewer for daily usage (like
Envince) but it is the best PDF viewer for prepress.

flyer, design, ubuntu, linux
...
Last year at the
Ubucon'08 i'm getting involved designing a new flyer for Ubuntu Germany. After
Julius Bloch poked us again and again, end of last year
Thomas Keup and me was thinking about the message. Based on the workshop of the Ubucon'08 and our brainstorming Thomas created a really cool text for it. And so it was now on me creating a really cool design that fits to this superb text.
...and i did well »All work is based on
Inkscape,
Gimp,
Seperate+,
Dejavu Sans &
Ubuntu font,
Moonshiner and
CMYK Tiff 2 PDF for Gimp.
Thanks to all the people give us feedback and hunting for typo bugs.
UPDATE:Here is the
web optimized PDF of it.

End of last year i wrote a post about
BlueGriffon a new WYSIWYG web editor and a successor of Kompozer and NVU.
Meanwhile the development goes on and BlueGriffon offers more
CSS support, a
project manager and a
template manager. Besides that
builds for Ubuntu are available too.

calibration, color, linux, monitor
...
I wrote some posts about
simple color calibration, of course there are color management systems available for Linux too. One of them is the open source color management system
Argyll CMS.
dispcalGUI is a GUI frontend for several utilities (specifically dispcal, dispread, colprof and dispwin) of it. Using all together it allows you to calibrate and profile your display using a measurement device (of course Argyll CMS did a lot more).

The
project Renaissance startet, its goal is a new, intuitive interface for OpenOffice or how they descibed themeself: "Create a User interface so that OpenOffice.org becomes the users' choice not only out of need but also out of desire.".
As
Frank Loehmann at the Sun-Blog wrote the project is in the beginning.
Everybody is invited to tell the team more about the pros and cons of the existing user interface.

Envince and a lot of other PDF viewers are great for the daily usage. But working with PDF documents for prepress the best at all is always the Adobe PDF Reader. Due some security issues Adobe updated it now to
version 8.1.3.
The Adobe Reader is available in various languages as a Deb and RPM archive too, so its easy for you to install it. You can get it via the
Medibuntu Repository too.

web development, css, websites, safari
...
Besides
Sifr, which is based an JavaScript and Flash, a new method embeding custom on websites poped up:
typeface.js. Basically this method rendering text with Javascript, <canvas> and SVG/ VML. Check out the
examples too. The bad thing about this method is that you can't select and copy text in a easy way
Myslef dreaming about the upcoming
@font-face support included in Firefox 3.1 (and still available in Opera or Webkit (Safari)). May M$ get it ready in IE8 too.
