What is CODE:FREE ?

It should be a different pdf magazine / art book for the open source scene. It contains only pictures made with free (not freeware!) software like Xara, Glips, Krita, K-3D, 3D Canvas, Gogh or other . The most of it are made in Inkscape, Gimp or Blender. The magazine itself are made with Scribus.

So if you use free Software, please contact me and be a part of the next issue !

Es soll ein etwas anderes pdf-Magazine / Artbook für die Open Scource Szene sein.

    Will ‘CODE:FREE’ contain tutorials?

  2. chrisdesign Says:

    Hi Woosey.
    No, the mag should be only for the artworks. But it`s an idea to make some Tutorials available as PDF files.

    I don’t see any license (or copyright) information. Is CODE:FREE licensed under a free content license, such as the CC BY SA?

  8. Nicu Says:

    Some of the images are really stunning… (and this comes from someone who use Inkscape and GIMP on a daily basis).

    Is correct my expectation for a magazine titled CODE:FREE to be free itself? (like CC-BY-SA or something similar)

  9. chrisdesign Says:

    Thank you for your comments ! :-) This is something that I had forgotten, sorry.

    Great idea, really enjoyed it… being a Gimp addict myself, maybe I’ll consider making up something worth contributing as well, one day… Only annoying thing so far is the mediafire.com based download, but I guess, for the first time, this is just okay. ;)
    Cheers,
    Kristian

    Thank you, great work!

  13. John Doe Says:

    Is it only me who can not view all the artwork or are there really empty pages?? (tried the PDF and the online version… pages 2,5,10,14,16,21,25,29 are empty (showing the artist name and CodeFree logo) :o(

  14. chrisdesign Says:

    Hi, do you use an actual pdf-viwer / browser? This is an 1.4 compatible pdf Version.

  15. John Doe Says:

    think so ;) Firefox 2.0.0.14 should be up to date enough and PDF viewer - right now Adobe reader 6.0 (@work on a win98 box… ;) will check again at home with my Linux box. :)

    great idea I cant wait for the next issue. I’m just a beginner with the GIMP and Inkscape(my favorite)

    its great to see what others do.
