[Openicc] 2008 Google SoC preparations

[almccart at lexmark.com]

Dear Kai-Uwe and all,

At the ICC meeting just completed in Munich we initiated a new WG 
(Automated Workflow WG) to focus on getting automated color management 
working for the average office and home user.
This is an even greater issue now than in the past because cameras and 
displays are moving away from the sRGB default. We expect this work will 
result in specifications beyond the ICC profile.

The ICC now has a WG level of membership available for individuals.  Would 
someone from the OpenICC community like to join this work?
We are going to have some serious discussions with Apple and Microsoft on 
this topic.  It seems sensible to have the open source community included 
as well.

The next ICC meeting (June in Japan) will include a special session on 
this topic - to be attended by special guests from the Japan printer 
manufacturer community.

Best regards,
Ann McCarthy

Here come some project ideas. Please comment if you feel appropriate.

Printing and Devices:
o implement a generic device settings to colorimetry layer
  o do a sample implementation in Gutenprint/libopenraw ...
  (Kai-Uwe, Robert?, Hubert? ...)
o Makes it sense to design and implement a printer
  calibration/linearisation gui?
  (Graeme, Hal, Robert)

Collaboration:
o generic toolkit independent Gui
  design and implement a minimalistic widget set, which allows easy 
  implementation, exchange and processing. (PPD, XForms ...)
  Goal is a new base for various plug-in GUI API's.
  (Kai-Uwe, ...)

Accelleration:
o old candidate lcms in floats
o GPU computations

Colour management framework:
o tonemapping integration and plug-ins in Oyranos
o basic ICC spec implementation, profile tag parsing and writing
o colour data analysis and widgets (ICC Examin modularisation)
o extending the colour conversion framework (monitor mapping, 
  pixel buffer type conversions and optimisation ...)
  (Kai-Uwe, ...)

... more ideas and mentors here ...


kind regards
Kai-Uwe Behrmann
