While I do owe you quite a few weeklies by now, I'm using this Friday afternoon as an opportunity to talk about something important.

At Libre Graphics Meeting 2019 in Saarbrücken, I had the fun and privilege to do a quick interview with Pat David, founder of Pixls.us and contributor to GIMP. We talked about how his project evolved and where he thinks we are with free/libre photography tools presently.

Libre Graphics Meeting 2019 kicked off with talks and workshops today, but in some ways, it's not the same as before. Earlier this year, in March, we lost Peter Linnell to cancer. And it's something I want to talk about.
