Subject: [CREATE] Open Colour Systems Collection 2.0 released

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.
