Want to help? (Images, Tutorials, give an interview..) Let me know: chrisdesign (@) gmx (.net)
>>> Content so far for issue 3: 12 Images, 1 Tutorial ! <<< will be updated !
Please note! The >codefree-mag.org< website is offline now. So get the mag from my blog, please.
ISSUE No.2
The mag / artbook for Inkscape, Gimp, Blender and other free stuff.
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 !

Will ‘CODE:FREE’ contain tutorials?
chrisdesign said
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?
Nicu said
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)

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

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)
(
chrisdesign said
Hi, do you use an actual pdf-viwer / browser? This is an 1.4 compatible pdf Version.
John Doe said
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.

@John Doe: I think they’re meant to be pages to credit the author, ie, the artwork after those pages were by that artist. Nice magazine and really nice artwork!
