Will you be stuck in D/FW instead of being at YAPC::NA::2006? Then come on out to the DFW.pm June technical meeting on Tuesday June 27th at 6:30pm! Seth Burgess will be presenting Gimp-Perl.

Synopsis:
Gimp-Perl (AKA the Gimp module) is an interface to the GNU Image Manipulation Program (AKA GIMP), a full featured raster-based image program in the same vein as Photoshop(TM) or PaintShopPro(TM). It provides a Perl interface to manipulating the objects provided by the GIMP Procedural database, an easy-to-use interface for writing your own plug-ins to GIMP, direct pixel access to the image data (via PDL), a simple server for running plug-ins remotely, and a bunch of examples of varying usefulness.

Covered will be a brief project history, an introduction to Gimp's object model and how its accessed through Gimp-Perl, an explanation of clever syntax hacks used by Gimp-Perl, and writing a simple plug-in in Gimp-Perl.

Bio:
Seth Burgess is a Perl hacker currently residing in Frisco, TX. He holds a B.S in Electrical Engineering from the University of Oklahoma (1999). He currently works at Green Hills Software, Inc. as a Senior Software Consultant helping customers solve their embedded systems problems. Seth has been involved with The GIMP from its early days as an occasional contributor, and started writing Gimp-Perl plug-ins when it became available. When abandoned by its original author, Seth took over maintenance of the bindings and managed to make a release of sorts to work with Gimp-2.0. Seth hopes in the near future to make a release for Gimp 2.2, and start releases for the 2.3 development series as well.
