![]() ![]() The weather was absolutely perfect, with cloudless blue skies and a cool breeze made navigating the winding bike-trails a very pleasant experience, despite google maps having no clue how to use them to get to the destination. It's really wild! We concluded the day with a visit to a local brewery on the docks, for drinks and dinner, all funded by the GIMP project.Ī bikeride through the city's robust biketrail intrastructure takes you through numerous little public parks, along rivers, and through the sparse traffic, made sparser by the fact that most people are happy to use bikes in place of cars. From the outside, there's absolutely no indication that these exist, so if you're ever near the Amsterdam NDSM area, I highly recommend doing a bit of your own exploring. It's an ecclectic mix of old industrial building and equipment turned into hidden galleries, and sometimes complete building centers built inside huge warehouses. The next day we explored the area, mostly on foot, and collected our bikes, which were rented for us by the GIMP project.Īmsterdam NDSM is like no other place I've been. The boat also featured two toilets, and a surprisingly spacious shower, which our host informed us was "made for couples". Adjacent to this space is a full kitchen with large refrigerator, which I set up my hackfest coffee machine and served coffee to those who partake in the pleasures of the wicked bean.Īlthough the bunkbeds were somewhat lacking in overhead space (sitting up in bed was impossible), the bedding was quite comfortable, and the gentle rocking of the boat I found to be particularly soothing. ![]() We had ample space for our laptops in the deckhouse cabin, which featured three large tables and plenty of seating and outlets for late night hackfest activities, and on-board dining. On board Nieuwe Maen, with the GIMP projectĪfter the spirited dining experience, we retired to our place of residence for the week - The good ship Nieuwe Maen (New Moon). The chef also baked us a Wilber shaped pizza bread, which we then, naturally, worshiped like a god for the rest of the trip. The pizza was excellent as was the conversation. On arrival - Pizza at the De Pizzabakkers NDSMĪ quick train trip from the airport and a free ferry ride across the bay, I was able to catch up with the GIMP crew at a pizza place right near the dock. I was really excited to have the opportunity to meet some of the GIMP developers in-person after many conversations with them over IRC in the past, and Wilberweek presented not only a great opportunity to do just that, but also to visit the Headquarters of another of my favourite FOSS projects, the unstoppable freedom-centric software juggernaut that is the Blender project. The step I’ll take right away, following your suggestion, is “installing a portable version”, and see what happens.Inicio » News » 2023 » July » 19th » What was it like at Wilberweek? (GIMP Hackfest) What was it like at Wilberweek? (GIMP Hackfest)Īrticle by: C.Rogers Wilberweek 2023 A week with The GIMP project at Blender HQ, Amsterdam The three constants of my problems are, so far: 1) OneDrive did take hold of GIMP (some two or three weeks ago), but I disconnected OneDrive, having emptied its folder before disconnection and 2) GIMP 2.10.30 works perfectly in my Windows 7 laptop and 3) I have tried also 2.10.28 and 2.10.24 on Win10, and they also won’t open and 4) Issues As I installed Gimp “for myself only”, as “PC/Administrator”, I found out that System does not allow me to give me permissions as “PC/User”, although this may “read and execute”, which seems would suffice for Gimp to open and function properly.Īt the end of each change I always restart the PC, to make sure. ![]() I have been inspecting over Properties\Safety\Permissions, and did a few necessary corrections in order to comply them with the installation folder, to no avail so far. One, however, strikes me mostly as a possible cause, the one concerning OneDrive, because when I activated this application, some two or three weeks ago, one of the first things it did was to get hold of Gimp, and, although I have disconnected it, I’m afraid my problem could be tied to that misappropriation, all the more after what you just said, that “it may not play nicely with open-source software.” Afre, thank you for your suggestions, they all converge to the steps I’m taking to try and solve my problem. ![]()
