[CREATE] [Openicc] 2009 Google SoC preparations

[Kai-Uwe Behrmann]

Hello Nathan,

I write you as the organiser of the OpenICC's group GSoC participation.
As Create is not taking part in the programm and OpenICC has many 
overlapping points of interessts I thought to ask here on the Create list.

You showed already support for the Create/LGM project and in general for 
libre graphics projects. Would you mind in writing a article about this 
years GSoC organisations and give a general overview for students 
searching a summer project. This would be of great help.

I could imagine something around the questions, what is the particular 
goal of each organisation, what is the benefit for a potential programmer 
and in the end for users.

Several graphics and multi media projects are part of the program this 
year beside OpenICC especially:
Audacity, Crystal Space, FFmpeg, GIMP, Hugin, The Linux Foundation 
(printing), SDL, Scribus, Inkscape, GStreamer, VideoLan, Xiph, and Xorg
and in a wider sence OSGeo, BRL-CAD and probably more -
