Speaker: John Flower<br />

GIMPO (GNU Image Maniuplation Program) is a photo
editor. John has been using it at work to touch up
product photos. He will be demonstrating the Clone
Tool which can be used to remove unwanted
blemishes, such as dust, powerlines, and weeds,
from photos. This is the tool to do head
switching, regrow hair, put golf courses in
improbable places like on a cliff ledge.

<h4><font size="2">Advanced workshop: Why is Linux
GNU?<br />

<p>
Speaker:Don Esslemont<br />

GNU is a matter of freedom: people should be free
to use software in all the ways that are socially
useful. Don will talk about what GNU is and how it
fits with Linux.<br />
