There are particular problems with graphics, such as how do you make them accessible to the visually impaired? Designing websites with constraints using GSS - Carl Chouinard GSS is something of an intelligent CSS (not that CSS isn't intelligent), or one might say adaptable. Rather than making hard specifications for sizing and positioning of objects on a page, constraints are set which depend on display size and relationship to other objects on the page. Creating realtime collaborative web applications with Derby.js and Meteor.js - Eric Schrijver This is pretty impressive at least as far as the ability to do collaborative editing in realtime. Perhaps we can hear from OSP in the future about what sorts of creative work this provides the greatest benefit of the realtime feature. The State of Color Management - Chris Murphy Although one might think that by now the various OSes would have implemented all they "should" be doing in regard to color management, both on screen and in print, it turns out they haven't, so Chris enlightened us on the good, bad, and ugly. Later he gave a lightning talk to add comments about Android and iOS. Pushing open source UX design - how we do it in ownCloud - Jan-Christoph Borchardt If nothing else, Jan-Christoph showed us the benefit of incorporating designers into a projects team, working with developers to make sure that the public face of web sites and GUI of the software are both pleasing to the eye and not so confusing to the users. Natron: compositing with Blender integration - Alexandre Gauthier-Foichat A bit over my head, but Natron is an up and coming project for open source video compositing, and progressing rapidly in its capabilities, especially its interactions with Blender. html2print - Stéphanie Vilayphiou, Anyone who tries to convert documents made for print publishing to html or vice versa knows the major issues one immediately comes up against, and we all know the limitations of PDFs on the web. OSP has decided to tackle the task of transforming an html document to high quality printable material, along the way dealing with font and the various layout issues. The work they've done looks impressive. Libre fonts for Tamil - (apologies for not having the name of the substitute presenter) Worldwide, Tamil is an important language considering the numbers of people who understand and use it. There are a number of issues with creating fonts for Tamil, not the least of which is encouraging adoption of new fonts by those who use them, in particular Tamil-language newspapers. There seems to be various elements of cultural resistance to adoption of new font styles which might solve problems like word-spacing and the absence of a hyphenation framework. Towards Open Textile and Garment Production - Hong Phuc Dang It's pretty safe to say that Hong Phuc caught fire with Susan Spencer's presentations about open source garment design, and is working strenuously to try to bring the idea of scaled-down garment production to Asia. Currently this is dominated by large, high production enterprises, but it seems that this will eventually change, based on what she had to show us about recent developments. SPECIMEN - designing fonts (hi)story(ies) - Loraine Furter SPECIMEN is a new web-based repository of information about fonts, not just the data typically included in the font files, but also their histories, such as what they may have been based on or where their inspiration came from. Stroke fonts - Colm O'Neill, Ludi Loiseau, Gijs de Heij, Pierre Huyghebaert More information about how OSP keeps expanding the number of ways and the number tools it uses to develop fonts for particular purposes, especially those that achieve for their clients some creative graphical style beyond the transmission of textual information. Thrilling Developments From the Field of Boring Font Utilities - Nathan Willis This was a showpiece of Nate's creation of some tools for analysis of various informational files associated with fonts, using some schemas he created for Emacs. Also, a utility for building fonts for easy installation. Goodbye FontForge - Dave Crossland A combination of personal odyssey in regard to font creation over the years, along with his involvement with FontForge. Some new approaches to font creation and editing were described, finally with some demonstration of the new, still in development Metapolator, a web-based font editor. The comments from the audience at the end highlighted concern about Dave's "abandonment" of FontForge.
