Yep, late 20th century, even before #CreativeCommons came around!
Their most famous band back then was the bizarre and satyric "Sebkha-Chott". You may have heard of them.
This band was quite famous while it lasted. Many of their members are still in current AMMD, in new bands!
Bottom line: you care about Libre Art in music? AMMD is a big part in its history!

They also produce very interesting shows, like the Baron Freaks, an hybrid between concert and theater with magical machines (nah it's not magic, it's FLOSS!).
And obviously, I hope #FreeSoftware events would consider them too, and would pay them (Libre Art is also for professional musicians, just like Free Software is for pro developers!).

If you want to support Libre Art music experiments by people who actually care about the idea (not just as a "let's get known then close later" logic) and develop their own Free Software and hardware, they are it!

Both will happen on Sunday, February 2, morning in the main room (Janson).
See you there! 🤗

It's code by @pippin for a new "Perceptual" blend space for layer modes (in fact the old "perceptual" blend space was rather a "use image's profile curves" blend space so it was renamed to "RGB (from color space)"). It fixes some layer modes where the algorithm was rather expecting the input to be perceptual.
We are **very** close to a new release candidate! 🎅

Side improvement while working on more important #GIMP code: I implemented history search with Ctrl-R/S (as common in shells) in the Python Console plug-in, because I use it so often to test various libgimp functions that I felt having to hit up/down arrow to find previously run code was too inefficient.
Now I just Ctrl-R <type some part of the function I want> Ctrl-R (as many time as needed to find it back). 😊

17.12.2024 22:54@GIMP It's now merged! That was one of the 2 remaining major blockers before releasing RC2. 😄So today I kinda finished my branch for a new public filter API in #GIMP 3.0.
We used to have special-case code for specific filters. Now it will be generic code able to apply *any* GEGL operation as a filter in @GIMP, just like the GUI already allows!
Of course, it makes use of the non-destructive filter infrastructure so you can append filters non-destructively or merge them old-school!
Tonight my brain is foggy (too much code). I'll review again and will merge tomorrow. 🥳

Happy 29th birthday, @GIMP ! 🎂🎉
On 1995-11-21, #GIMP was born as a General Image Manipulation Program 🖼️🎨 as a student project in the University of California 🧑🎓. 29 years later, it is still there, more independent than ever as a worldwide Community, Free Software project!
Since in my current part of the world, it's been the 21st for many hours now, I figured I'd wish our dear project and its contributors all the great future it deserves! 💌
