[libreoffice-design] Open Colour Systems Collection 2.0 released

[Heiko Tietze]

Hi Christoph,

many thanks for sharing your work. In case of LibreOffice it would be great to have these palettes as extensions. Just ask if you need help to pack the soc files into oxt. But maintaining it on the extensions site is up to you (or any other volunteer).

Cheers,
Heiko

> Colour Software Release Planned
> ===============================
> 
> freieFarbe e.V. / freeColour also intends to release a previously closed-source colour software product written in RealBasic as Open Source under a GPL 2+ licence. fF / fC hopes to find contributors who are interested in porting the code from RealBasic to C++ and Qt, as well as merging the features of Swatchbooker and the original product. The majority of the code is UI-related, but the essential algorithms (the core of the product) are well-commented. Any assistance with respect to the organisation of the release of the source code would be welcome.
