+Summary: This week, StreamComputing launches an educational initiative that aims to get more developers to 
study and use OpenCL in their projects. Within this project, up to 20 collaborators will port as many GEGL 
operations to OpenCL as possible.

+This week, StreamComputing launches an [educational initiative](http://opencl.org) that aims to get more 
developers to study and use OpenCL in their projects. Within this project, up to 20 collaborators will [port 
as many GEGL operations to OpenCL](http://wiki.gimp.org/wiki/Hacking:Porting_filters_to_GEGL) as possible.
+
+Vincent Hindriksen and Adel Johar who organize this project seek a way for the group to educate themselves. 
One of the ways is to gamify the porting by benchmarking the kernels and defining winners, and another way is 
to optimize kernels within StreamComputing to push the limits. Victor Oliveira, who wrote most of the OpenCL 
code in GEGL, joined the GEGL-OpenCL project to advise.
+
+So far 7 participants have joined the project, so if you are interested to learn OpenCL and help GEGL and 
GIMP get hardware acceleration for more of their features, [email Vincent](mailto:vincent streamcomputing 
eu?subject=OpenCL%2B%20GEGL%20training&amp;body=Hi%20Vincent%2C%0A%0AI'm%20a%20perfect%20candidate%20for%20the%20group-of-20%2C%20because%20...).
+
+All work is being done on [GitHub](https://github.com/OpenCL/GEGL-OpenCL) (check out the project's 
description there for information on porting and benchmarking). The communication between participants is 
taking place in a [dedicated Slack channel](https://gegl-opencl.slack.com) (request an invite from Vincent or 
[Adel](mailto:adeljo hotmail com>)).

and consulting services in the area of GPU programming and parallel processing.
