We released #GIMP 3.2.0 today! Quite an exhausting week with usual last-minute issues!
E.g. the CI infra suddenly failed yesterday! Fortunately admins were prompt to fix as always (still I went to bed at 1AM)!
Then issues in Windows packaging, which testers didn't notice with early test packages (of course, only noticed by someone just after the tagging! 😱).
Yet all in all, first time I end the release around 7PM after having started the release day at 9AM! The procedure gets better! 😄
🥳 Happy ㉊th birthday, @GIMP@floss.social ! 🎂
In 1995, November 21, a young US student, Peter Mattis, announces a program on some Linux newsgroups, called "The GIMP: the General Image Manipulation Program". 2 years later, Spencer Kimball (other co-author) and Peter graduate and leave.
Thanks to the #GPL license, the community take over development.
30 years later… The project is thriving, with contributors from all over the world, and maintainers from Germany, Norway, France, Korea, Netherlands… 🤗
The @GIMP@floss.social project got a very cute fan mail through actual post 💌, with a donation.
We would love to share a scan, but it's not cool to share private messages without consent, so we won't. It is though very heart-warming! 🥰
We have had some at #ZeMarmot too across the years, and actual fan mail, and even more when it's through physical letters, is always extremely cool to receive! 🤗
Someone (thanks @CmykStudent@fosstodon.org for discovering it!) shared this meme… about #ZeMarmot's Jehan, as @GIMP@floss.social maintainer "hero developer"! 😅😎😱🤣
We were unsure what to do of it. In the end, just sharing it… for the fun. I should say "Thank you", I guess? 🤷🤗
Quite last minute, yesterday evening, I (Jehan from #ZeMarmot and @GIMP@floss.social maintainer) answered to the call for feedback by the @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu on the "European Open Digital Ecosystem Strategy". Here is my response:

On the final stretch toward GIMP 3.2?!
Please test the latest GIMP 3.2.0 RC3 (release candidate 3) everyone! 🤗
Our week at Libre Graphics Meeting, including the 3.2.4 bugfix release, branching out and starting to work on GIMP 3.4 and a talk about the Community and #GIMP:

The @chaoswesttv@chaos.social teams have always impressed us, ever since we first met them at a #GUADEC quite a few years ago! And again last year at #LGM.
The quality and skills they are showing is impressive and surpasses many professionals in the field of live video recording/editing/streaming… 🤩

Je vois ça souvent de la part d'utilisateurs de logiciels totalement ignorants en programmation
Pas seulement. Certains des trolls les plus virulents que l'on a se proclament ingénieurs informatiques depuis X décennies. Justement ils se servent de cela pour nous expliquer qu'ils "savent" et qu'il est totalement "honteux" qu'un logiciel ait tel ou tel problème. Et aussi pour nous dire que c'est super facile à corriger. Y a qu'à faire ci ou ça (en terme très vague).
I finally published my report on Wilber Week 2023, @GIMP@floss.social's contributor meeting, which we had at @Blender@mastodon.social's HQ this year, together with some @inkscape@mastodon.art contributors as well! Enjoy!
