This campaign is still going on to this day. Between March 2019 and December 2020, 4500€ have been donated and transfered for G'MIC development. For more details, read this first funding report which G'MIC published today.

Of course the funding page is still opened so that anyone can still help funding this wonderful image processing framework:

LILA supports the G'MIC project

G'MIC is a full-featured open-source framework for image processing, distributed under the CeCILL free software licenses (LGPL-like and/or GPL-compatible).

G'MIC, Open-Source framework for image processing

G'MIC is mostly developed by David Tschumperlé and Sébastien Fourey in the IMAGE team of the GREYC laboratory (French Research Lab, affiliated to the CNRS, the University of Caen, and the engineering school ENSICAEN). Both are enthusiastic researchers, committed to open science and free software, trying to make regular contributions to the field of image processing in addition to developing this software in their spare time. G'MIC provides a popular plug-in for GIMP, Krita and Paint.NET, as well as a command-line tool, containing hundreds of image filters and effects to help artists and scientists around the world transform or improve their images.

Unfortunately their lab does not accept direct donation. Since a Libre framework for image processing is absolutely within the boundaries of LILA's objectives, we accepted to act as an umbrella organization to collect donations for G'MIC.

The money collected will be periodically paid to the IMAGE team, to be used for the development of G'MIC.

🎉 Welcome to G'MIC at LILA's! 🎉
