PLO prototype code from Piksels & Lines seminar
by Jon Nordby 19 Dec '12

19 Dec '12

Hi all, Brendan and I are starting the Piksels & Lines residency now, and we would like to have as much as possible of the code that was created during the LGRU meeting in Bergen in June. This is both for documentation purposes and for some inspiration/base for the further work during the residency. So please send what you have of what you developed. Tarballs, patches, link to a git repository: Anything goes. We are currently missing the code for Scribus (Pierre), Underweb (August), Sketchspace (Egil), the OpenFramework based visualizations (Chris) and the PureData soundscape generation (Jaime). For those that want to start following the residency, we have our repositories set up at: https://github.com/piksels-and-lines-orchestra -- Jon Nordby - www.jonnor.com

css as layout engine
by Brendan Howell 07 Dec '12

07 Dec '12

This is conceptually not as exciting as the graphical shell stuff but I was talking to Adam Hyde last week and he told me that the Booktype / FLOSS Manuals / Booki crew have been cooking up some cool stuff that can render HTML + CSS to proper page layouts in the browser (which can then export precision PDFs): https://github.com/sourcefabric/BookJS You will need a bleeding edge version of Chromium (23+): https://launchpad.net/~a-v-shkop/+archive/chromium-dev but Mozilla & co are supposed to support CSS page extentions in the next few months. Some ports of LaTeX based typesetting features, like hyphenation and justification, are in the works. I don't love HTML but this might be a nice setup for quick-n-dirty layout systems especially when combined with web based authoring tools like SketchSpace, Aloha-editor, etc. -b -- http://wintermute.org/brendan
