[Noisebridge-discuss] Know GIMP? Know Inkscape? Want to host a class?

[Erik JM Schneider]

I would also be interested in a GIMP/inkscape tutorial, and I am happy
to lend out my teaching skills, such as they are. I have taught
university classes before and could team up with someone who knew
about GIMP (Kelly? Corey?) and/or facilitate a self-study group if we
wanted to go that way. I've taught at length on texts I've only read
that morning. :)

I've also been using Photoshop for over a decade, although primarily
for digital production, so I do not know much about print production
beyond making a photo look decent on a bubble jet printer, but I have
some color theory in me and a fair amount of trial and error learnings
that I could try to convert into GIMP terms with others' help.

I have managed to remain Wiki-ignorant for the most part but can take
a shot at putting up a NB page if others are reluctant to do so. Fools
rush in and all that. If nobody else has done it by tomorrow morning I
will try my hand at it.  So, um, if anyone would like to prevent that,
now is your chance.
