To: undisclosed-recipients:;
Hi all,
in July 2003 there will be "LinuxTag" again in Karlsruhe/Germany. It
is the biggest Linux Event in Europe.
Some of you might know: We had a "Linuxprinting" booth during the last
2 LinuxTag events. Next time we plan to reach a bit further -- with
your help, we hope!
Simple "Linuxprinting" has become a bit boring. We now *can* print
and blow all the bells and whistles of most available printers. We
can even provide an excellent print server service with the help of
Samba 2.2.6 to Windows networks in large enterprise environments, where
the clients can download and install the drivers in a semi-automatic
way. Old news.
But can we set up...
...a joint booth, run by several different projects in cooperation,
which proofs that "Linux is ready for the Desktop"?
...a common project of several talents and developments, which
provides a "digital imaging workflow"?
...a real showcase for office productivity based on input from
various different sources, now all integrating nicely?
...a workflow doing document creation with one (or more) of the
available office programs?
...a demonstration which includes scanning of paper documents,
OCR-ing, storing and processing them?
...a creation of a printed document, integrating parts from various
sources, bundled with input from digital cameras, graphic design
programs, scanners etc.?
...the production of "personalized" output, as happens often in
enterprise production environments?
...connectivity to the world of faxing (receiving and sending)?
...and prepare and show the print-runs of "serialized letters" for
mailings?
One idea is to present a printed document to the visitors which shows
"in print" all the marvellous milestones Free Software has achieved
recently, which is printed "under the eyes" of the audience:
* it is personalized and contains a digital camera shot with a
portrait of the visitor;
* it contains a scan of the passport of the person (with OCR
evaluation of the contents);
* it contains text and graphics, which makes interesting reading
and is taken home as a valuable take-away.
Projects which came to my mind, and which could greatly contribute
to such a joint presentation of "Productive Linux Power on the Desktop"
are:
* Desktop:
--------
KDE
GNOME
plus more...?
* Document creation:
------------------
OpenOffice.org
KOffice
Scribus
plus more...
* Document storage:
-----------------
DjVuLibre
plus more...?
* Document scanning:
-----------------
SANE,
Kooka
HPOJ
plus more...?
+ Image manipulation:
-------------------
Gimp
plus more...
* Vector graphic:
---------------
Sketch
sodipodi
plus more...
* OCR:
----
Clara OCR
GOCR
plus more...
* Digital photography:
-------------------
gphoto
gtkam
digikam
plus more...?
* Printing the stuff:
-------------------
CUPS
Linuxprinting.org
plus more...
What do you think about this suggestion? Are you willing to join the
effort? We have more than 7 months from now to prepare an excellent
exhibition of all the joining projects' capatilities, and achieve some
really interesting synergy by cooperating on this...
The plan for now is this:
* send out an initial announcement/suggestion to all known contacts
* await the first responses, then have a more formal announcement
crossposted (once) to various lists and published in some forums.
* set up a mailing list to collect more suggestions, develop more
ideas, and coordinate the work.
* work. work hard and have fun to make it happen.
The named title(s) in the subject line or in the body of this mail
are mere "working" titles. If someone steps forward with a real
convincing alternative name, or ideas how to extend or sensibly
limit the scope of this enterprise, you are welcome to suggest it.
We are (still) very open about it. But the basic idea of the mission
should be somewhat clear already from our suggestion.
We don't need just software developers or geeks to do this. We also
need people with talents in digital photography, desktop publishing,
image creation, writing good reading documents, presentation skills,
network technicians....
There is probably a good job to do for anybody who is interested to
join -- you don't need to be a tech guru!
Cheers,
Kurt Pfeifle & Till Kamppeter
(Linuxprinting.org)
in co-operation with the LinuxTag Team.
P.S.: Please make sure to include both of us into your replies. We
----- will send one more mail to all the ones who received this one
announcing how to subscribe to a common mailing list. Also,
we intend to crosspost once to some of the mailingists which
are related to the mentioned projects. All interested parties
should then subsribe there. We apologize to everybody who is
not interested and feels molested by this mail. We also apologize
if we have forgotten a project which you feel should be part of
this initiative. Please send us your comments.
