Andy Fitzsimon

In an exciting tun of events I’ll be heading to Melbourne and teaching both overview and master courses on open source graphic design.

I’ll also be chatting at the Linux Users Victoria (LUV) meeting and hopefully grabbing dinner with a few of my favorite Inkscape and Batik developers

Can’t wait to see all the cool kids there.

Many thanks to Richard Keech for setting this up.

I haven’t quite kept up to date on this blog, but since Ive now registered andyfitz.org .net and .com.au I figured its time to put a little more online.
Actually, some photography fella has the .com but hopefully I can beat his googlejuice.

For those that have been wondering here’s whats new with Andy:

• I attended Libre Graphics Meeting(my 2nd x-mas) in Montreal
• I then visited Red Hat HQ in Raleigh (also did some traveling around the trip)
• Yesterday I became a member of the GNOME Foundation. Thank you jdub and thos
• I’ve been doing some long late night skates from my place and around the city
• I’ve taken up yoga at jwulf’s awesome atmayoga on Albert St
• I’ve gotten camping and festival tickets for splendour in the grass
• Started helping with the Brisbane bid for LCA2009 / LGM2009
• I also plan to leave my beautiful Australia for a 1-2 year period of time. more news on that later

And blending mode filters in inkscape is one of them.

Yaaaahhhooooo
