Hi,
the start of Google's Summer of Code is getting closer.
They have published:
1. Official logos
--------------------

ogos
I'm planning to add a news item to www.gimp.org once they
do provide scaled-down versions of their logos that can
be used there.
2. Flyers

Already translated into a number of languages, but any
help to get them translated even more - and of course get
them spread - is appreciated.
3. Program FAQ

For potential mentors: this means that you should be
reachable for your students starting from at least end of
April to end of August. Holidays are possible, of course,
if this is know to either one of you and preferably other
people (like organization admins) as well.
5. Project Proposals
--------------------
Our project proposals page is at
http://wiki.gimp.org/gimp/SummerOfCode2009ideas
Before you add anything there, please drop by at the
#gimp IRC channel (irc://irc.gimp.org/#gimp,
http://www.gimp.org/irc.html) for a quick reality check
regarding the proposed project - the developers will
usually be able to tell if something is too trivial, too
complex, too weird (as most of my ideas) or suitable for
Summer of Code

Not into IRC---too many technologies, too little time. So a
quick question: are there any plans to have Gimp work in
the cmyk color model, as does Scribus, Krita etc. and thus
open it up more fully to the publishing market?
I ask this question about once a year, still hoping.
