<div>Hello guys!</div><div><br></div><div>I took part in the organisation of the "capitole du libre" : big french open</div><div>software event, in wich is the aKademy-fr and other events (django-fr, blender</div>
<div>fundation...) take parts. The impressions of Aurélien Gateau (aka mister cake)</div><div>on this event on this blog [1].</div><div><br></div><div>I was awesomely surprised to ear that much good things over the calligra suite.</div>
<div>Some aKademy-fr speackers used totally calligra-stage for their presentations,</div><div>and they were surprised of the evolution of the last 2 years. So only for this,</div><div>I want to say good job guys!</div><div>
<br></div><div>Another thing that made me happy is the David Revoy conference in the</div><div>multimedia track (so only artist users, no hackers, most of them doesn't even</div><div>know what KDE is or could be...). He explained how good is Krita, and how it is</div>
<div>the best numerical painter on a lot of point. He showed some examples in use to</div><div>show us the power of the 2.6 version (he is always compiling the trunk to find</div><div>bugs to report). As you may know he is a professional painter and uses krita</div>
<div>about 8hours a day every day! That's really interesting and motivating to ear</div><div>that kind of stuff with a crowed saying "wouh!" and asking at the end: "how can</div><div>I install this awesome free software ?"</div>
<div><br></div><div>The sunday I went on the Aurélien's UI clinic with stage in the hand! We had</div><div>two hours reviewing the UI. We decided to make plenty of change (on the paper</div><div>for now), but only small changes and re-organizing things -- many work to</div>
<div>have more space on dockers, showing exactly the same options to the user, but</div><div>making him more confortable. The Aurélien's advices are really clear and</div><div>precise, and he takes all you say into account. I'll try to implement what we</div>
<div>discussed this sunday.</div><div><br></div><div>That's the first event I ear only positive points over calligra by the users!</div><div>Hope it makes you happy too!</div><div><br></div><div>[1] <a href="http://agateau.com/2012/11/26/akademy-fr-2012">http://agateau.com/2012/11/26/akademy-fr-2012</a></div>
