Open Colour Systems 2.0 Released
================================

freieFarbe e.V. / freeColour is pleased to announce the release of Open \
Colour Systems Collection (OCSC) 2.0.

Following the release of OCSC 1.0, freieFarbe / freeColour has been been \
recognised by German authorities as a non-profit organisation. The release \
of OCSC is the first one after the official recognition.

OCSC 2.0 comprises ten additional colour palettes. More importantly, it is \
now also available in Adobe's Swatch Exchange Format (ASE), as well as a \
Plain Text Format version with the file extension CLF.

All colours have been measured from vendor-supplied colour references with \
a spectrophotometer.

Since freieFarbe e.V. / freeColour is an advocate of the use of the CIE \
LAB/HLC colour model as a free and reasonable alternative to proprietary \
colour collections, colour values in the palette files are in CIE LAB.

Colour Software Release Planned
===============================

freieFarbe e.V. / freeColour also intends to release a previously \
closed-source colour software product written in RealBasic as Open Source \
under a GPL 2+ licence. fF / fC hopes to find contributors who are \
interested in porting the code from RealBasic to C++ and Qt, as well as \
merging the features of Swatchbooker and the original product. The majority \
of the code is UI-related, but the essential algorithms (the core of the \
product) are well-commented. Any assistance with respect to the \
organisation of the release of the source code would be welcome.



About freieFarbe e.V. / freeColour:
===================================


freieFarbe e.V. / freeColour is a non-profit organisation that was founded \
in 2016 by German and Swiss colour professionals after having worked as an \
informal initiative without legal status for several years. our motto is \
"We want to unchain colours". The organisation is looking for cooperation \
with colour experts, software developers and users around the globe who \
share our goals. You are invited to become a member and/or contribute your \
own project.

freieFarbe e.V. / freeColour is convinced that the design world will \
benefit from truly free colours and better colour software.
