30 yo, Russian, semi-official PR person writing news for Inkscape and GIMP websites, tracking what people in community say about them and always, always meddling. At some point in my life I probably made you wish you had a gun and could use it on the Internet.
Being involved into many free software projects on different levels I’m quite concerned about the way free software, especially graphic design related, is represented on the web, which is why I started the Libre Graphics World project.
Apart from doing translation work (a good chunk of free multimedia production software, most of the big names you could think of), I took/take part at some projects:
- Free!Music. Co-founded the project.
- Open Font Library. Co-founded the project with Jon Philips.
- Libre Graphics Meeting. Helped with community pledgies.
- Libre Graphics World. Founded the project, write news and articles.
- The linux*.ru multimedia family of projects (graphics, video, sound). Founded the projects, write news and articles.
- GIMP.ru. Kicked the project back to life after 4 years of nobody else daring to do it. Write news and articles.
- CREATE. Co-founded it with Jon Philips, started Shared Resources spec, do communication work.
- Tango. Did some digging for Art Libre Set.
