 Summary: Michael Natterer gets interviewed by other GIMP developers
 
-GIMP is [Free Software](https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html), but even before this, it is people: 
the ones who make it, the ones who create with it… We don't have accurate statistics and we take pride on not 
gathering your data. Yet we know for a fact (because there are various other websites who made partial 
statistics over the years) that this is a widely used piece of software, by millions of people around the 
world. So wouldn't it be neat to meet some of the individuals who make this project alive?

-Some people expect a huge company behind. This is not the case. GIMP has always be developed by a random 
bunch of people scattered around the world, most of them volunteers.
-As an insider myself, I've wanted to launch a serie of interviews with the many awesome people I met since I 
started contributing. So who better to start with than our own benevolent dictator, GIMP maintainer: 
**Michael Natterer**, alias "mitch".

 This interview was held on Friday, February 3, 2017, at around 3AM, after a day of hacking at [Wilber 
Week](https://www.gimp.org/news/2017/01/18/wilberweek-2017-announced/), next to the fire place.
-Next to us were also present several team members, amongst which Schumaml (S) and Pippin (P) also asked 
questions.

-Mitch: In 2.10, there is the GEGL port, then the GTK+3 port immediately after, which

-features of 2.8 because I never use it.

That's the only thing I use it for. I mean… whenever I have to manipulate a pixel image, and not being an 
artist.

-M: Yes they sent me a few plugins which I pushed. But it's like 10 years ago, or

cartoon. It's 10 years later, one of them comes and says _"hey Mitch, I coded 3 plugins, here they are"_. 
Everything looks
 perfect, so I just pushed them as-is and they still exist.
 
 But the GEGL version gives different results. So that's why we still have
 them in the menu.
 
-J: Why do you continue working on GIMP?
+_J: Why do you continue working on GIMP?_
 
-M: that's a good question. (laugh)
+**M:** that's a good question. (laugh)
    I don't know. You guys, perhaps?
    Because it's annoying sometimes.
    Why do you continue?
 
-J: Me? It's fun.
+_J: Me? It's fun._
 
-M: It's fun yeah. But only if it's fun. Sometimes it's not fun but you do it

 anyway. So do you.

 available, so… for some tasks, you use what is available. If it's not Free, you

 For example: [showing nomis trying to make a label printer work on a GNU/Linux

 work.

-your employees or customers?

your bookstore when you get free times and don't have to take care of your employees or customers?_
 
-M: No. Sometimes. But really rarely. It's mostly in the evenings. Or I commit
-something during daytime, like after 5 minutes looking at it awake after doing
-it the night before at 2 O'clock. Then I think "I better go to sleep before I
-push this". Then I push it on the next day. But I don't have time to do like
-5-hour long patches during worktime.

    My programming languages were basic, assembler, pascal, modula2, C, in that weird order :)

 what other companies do like with 100 people. It can only be really weird in
 many places.

 sure of it. There is nobody who puts like 2 months into a plugin to make it
 perfect. It happens, but then they dump it on us and that's it. And 10 years
 later, we see it and "oh my god, this is complete garbage".
 
-S: Is there something you'd like to do much more in the project, apart coding?
+_S: Is there something you'd like to do much more in the project, apart coding?_

 software. So I'm happy that somebody does the office work.

 ready.

 ## GIMP: future ##

-M: Python for the user interface. Horrible! Why?
+**M:** Python for the user interface. Horrible! Why?
 
-S: This is something we had discussed.
+_S: This is something we had discussed._
 
-M: Yeah but in the past, people wanted to use javascript, the year before they
+**M:** Yeah but in the past, people wanted to use javascript, the year before they
 wanted to use Java, the year before they wanted to use this, and the year after
 they want to use that, and the next year they want to use that. And they are all
 gone, everybody who ever said "I want to use this or that, and it's all shit,
 let's use javascript". None of them is still in the project, so… it gets boring.
 
-S: So you don't see any big changes regarding GIMP in the near future?
+_S: So you don't see any big changes regarding GIMP in the near future?_
 
-M: In the near future definitely not, because we have to get some releases out.
+**M:** In the near future definitely not, because we have to get some releases out.
 Using other languages? Why not? There is Rust. There is… maybe simpler stuff for
 doing UI stuff. But if that's actually working… I mean: look at this javascript
 mess. Is that really better? Just because it's easier? Easier just means that
 more clueless people can write code. And they are clueless enough already. So it
 doesn't make it better by making it easier. Arrogant but true.
 
-S: Anything else you want to change?
+_S: Anything else you want to change?_
 
-M: Yes a lot of stuff if I don't have to change them because I really have
+**M:** Yes a lot of stuff if I don't have to change them because I really have
 enough things to do (laughs).
 So you go organize it better.
 You can be maintainer of whatever subpart, please. Please. Take away the work
 from me. The contributors need to realize that if you do something really well,
 they will be in charge of the part they do well. Nobody realizes that.
 
-J: That's a very good point.
+_J: That's a very good point._
 
-M: If they do it right, then they'll be in charge of the part they are doing
+**M:** If they do it right, then they'll be in charge of the part they are doing
 right. It always works like that.
 
-S: They do not need a blessing from you, right?
+_S: They do not need a blessing from you, right?_
 
-M: I don't do blessings. (laughs)
+**M:** I don't do blessings. (laughs)
 
-J: GTK+ comes from GIMP. What do you think of GTK now?
+_J: GTK+ comes from GIMP. What do you think of GTK now?_
 
-M: They lost their mind but they are also doing really good work. Some of the
+**M:** They lost their mind but they are also doing really good work. Some of the
 decisions, you cannot understand. Because… is GIMP the only application left in
 the GTK world? Everything else is *apps* and buttons and touch. Is there any other
 complex GTK application? Like complex-complex-complex like GIMP?
 
-S: So we will release GIMP 3 with GTK+3 or 4?
+_S: So we will release GIMP 3 with GTK+3 or 4?_
 
-M: If we go further, we go further, but they just branched to GTK+4 anyway.
+**M:** If we go further, we go further, but they just branched to GTK+4 anyway.
 That's not going to happen overnight.
 
-P: It won't harm to suddenly have GIMP 4 instead of 3.
+_P: It won't harm to suddenly have GIMP 4 instead of 3._
 
-M: Yeah no, if they are done in a few weeks, we'd go for GIMP 4 right away. So
+**M:** Yeah no, if they are done in a few weeks, we'd go for GIMP 4 right away. So
 why not. That would be cool. (laughs) Or GIMP 5!
 
-J: GIMP 10?
+_J: GIMP 10?_
 
-M: GIMP X!
+**M:** GIMP X!
 
 ## Various rants ##
 
-S: If you happen to be in a conversation with people talking about GIMP, but do not
-know that you are involved, do you come out as GIMP principal developer.
+_S: If you happen to be in a conversation with people talking about GIMP, but do not
+know that you are involved, do you come out as GIMP principal developer._
 
-M: Only if they start talking utter-bullshit. It has happened before of course.
+**M:** Only if they start talking utter-bullshit. It has happened before of course.
    A guy wanted to convert me to GIMP once and I had to tell him: yeah you don't need
    to. In a non-computer situation, like in private.
 
-J: Who is Wilber?
+_J: Who is Wilber?_
 
-M: Nobody knows. Wilber is a GIMP.
+**M:** Nobody knows. Wilber is a GIMP.
 
-S: What special device would you like to see GIMP on.
+_S: What special device would you like to see GIMP on._
 
-M: This cool Microsoft thing ([Surface Studio PC](https://youtu.be/BzMLA8YIgG0)) where they have this video 
online. It looks like
+**M:** This cool Microsoft thing ([Surface Studio PC](https://youtu.be/BzMLA8YIgG0)) where they have this 
video online. It looks like
 super slick, with touch and everything. Videos like Apple used to do, now it's
 long gone. Now Microsoft does that. Isn't that sad?
 The official Microsoft youtube video makes you want to have one of these things.
 
-S: What advice you would like to give to someone who would want to contribute?
-   What to do and what not to do?
+_S: What advice you would like to give to someone who would want to contribute?
+   What to do and what not to do?_
 
-M: Listen to advices and be persistent.
+**M:** Listen to advices and be persistent.
    Don't give up because someone says "this patch isn't quite right". Because
    it's most often not quite right. My first commit to GIMP was reverted
    immediately.
 
-S: I think you also reverted my first.
+_S: I think you also reverted my first._
 
-M: Yes, that's kind of a tradition. Everybody fucks up on their first commit and
+**M:** Yes, that's kind of a tradition. Everybody fucks up on their first commit and
 gets reverted. That's good standard.
 
-S: So do not be afraid of errors?
+_S: So do not be afraid of errors?_
 
-M: Yes exactly. Unless they jeopardize the fate of humanity or something. That's unlikely.
+**M:** Yes exactly. Unless they jeopardize the fate of humanity or something. That's unlikely.
