The conclusion we came to was that we'd both<br> acted badly in the past with unfair statements and silly tit-for-tat<br> attacks on each other. Some of this I think was due to inherent<br> cultural differences, some of this not. I think that applies to a few<br> other people on this list too.<br> <br> We've come to an agreement that it's perfectly okay to have different<br> implementations of a CMS stack on Linux, and it's okay to disagree<br> with how something is built or designed. We both agree wholeheartedly<br> it makes a ton of sense to share specifications. The fact that colord<br> and Oyranos are so different is a good thing, and as is usual with<br> open source, we can cross-pollinate the good ideas from one to<br> another.<br> <br> In light of this, Kai-Uwe has reviewed the metadata keys I have been<br> using in colord, and I will add them to the next version of the<br> OpenICC metadata specification. Similarly, the other keys that Oyranos<br> uses for profile matching (that colord doesn't) will be added to the<br> profiles when they are generated by gnome-color-manager. It's only a<br> few hundred bytes after-all.<br> <br> Together we're going to write a better description of what the OpenICC<br> mailing list is all about, and what it should be used for. With this<br> kind of document existing, we can point people (or people can point me<br> at) when things go slightly awry and blood starts boiling for whatever<br> reason.<br> <br> We've got so few people interested in color management using open<br> source, we can't really afford to have a huge rift at this stage. I'm<br> pretty proud that we've addressed a lot of things today and are moving<br> forward, and I think that will be of benefit to both of us.<br> <br> Richard.<br> _______________________________________________<br> openicc mailing list<br> <a href="mailto:openicc@lists.freedesktop.org">openicc@lists.freedesktop.org</a><br> <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/openicc" target="_blank">http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/openicc</a><br> </blockquote></div><br>
