About FOSSEE

FOCAL (Free and open-source creative art library) is an initiative by FOSSEE, IIT Bombay.

OBJECTIVE

• To encourage students and entrepreneurs to use Open Source Software in computer graphics.
   
• To promote the learning of open-source graphics and animation software, like
  
  -  Inkscape (cross-platform open-source vector design software)
  -  GIMP (cross-platform open-source photo/image editing software) 
  -  Scribus (cross-platform open-source desktop publishing software)
  -  Synfig Studio (cross-platform open-source 2d animation software)
  -  Blender (cross-platform open-source 3d animation software)

• To publish users' artwork/computer graphics design in Open Source.

FUTURE ACTIVITIES

• Create learning tutorials, documents for using open-source design software for students and printing industry people.
   
• Develop open-source software graphics studio and support to convert commercial design software studio to open source software graphics studio.
   
• Conduct remote & hands-on workshop and exhibit FOCAL activities.
   
• Create a scope for jobs using these open-source design software in the print industry.

This development is quite interesting. We need to have groups in India who are interested in

using and propogating use of such open source computer graphics softwares.

Good work. . .
