[opensuse-project] GSoC Compositor Colour Management Candidate
Hello, I am a final year undergraduate student at the Polytechnic University of Bucharest, Automation and Computers Faculty. This GSoC idea (Compositor Colour Management) looks like something I would enjoy doing, even if at the moment I don't understand exactly what it's about. I have acceptable C / C++ skills and lots of experience with OpenGL. I am also familiar with Qt. Regarding shaders, I wrote a couple about 2 years ago for an old project, and I still know how they function, so it should be easy for me to remember. Last GSoC I worked on an OpenGL interface for VLC, and 2 years ago I worked on capture support for Phonon. I don't know much about Oyranos and colour management, but it can't be too difficult to handle, eventually. There is still time until the application period starts, so, what should I do now? The idea indicates to update a Compiz plugin for a start, but I don't have Compiz around on any of my computers, and I can't say I have too much spare time at the moment. Do you recommend me to try and work on that as soon as possible? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org

The basic idea is to get all desktop colours be colour corrected by a ICC profiles prior to displaying on monitors.

Reads fine and points toward KWin.

About Oyranos -> [2] We simplified already the window manager baseline spec [3].

First you can test a LiveCD with the Compiz/CompICC variant of a colour server [1]. The best would be to write a similar email like this here to the according developers list, to get more input from core developers, graphics people and colour people like me. For KWin the following would be good: https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-core-devel kind regards Kai-Uwe -- Kai-Uwe Behrmann developing for colour management www.behrmann.name + www.oyranos.org [1] http://www.oyranos.org/2011/12/oyranos-colour-management-livecd-iii/ [2] http://www.oyranos.org/about/ [3] http://www.oyranos.org/2012/02/x-color-management-0-4-draft1/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
