 # Øyvind Kolås: GEGL maintainer
 
-Øyvind has been contributing to GIMP since 2004, according to his oldest
-commit. He soon became [GEGL](https://gegl.org/) maintainer, for what
-was meant to become one day GIMP's image engine with the goal of
-supporting higher bit depth images, more color models, floating point
-processing and having a graph-based framework which would be the base of
-non-destructive image manipulation. As you may know, some initial
-support of GEGL in GIMP has happened in [GIMP
-2.8](https://www.gimp.org/release-notes/gimp-2.8.html#gegl) with a
-wider port happening in [GIMP
-2.10](https://www.gimp.org/release-notes/gimp-2.10.html). This is still

+Øyvind has been contributing to GIMP since 2004. He soon became

+encoding library) already support color management, higher bit depths
+and CMYK; some of the non-destructive capabilities are already exposed

 Øyvind is known not only for his work on GEGL itself, but also for his
 various experiments around images and colors. One of his visual
 experiments with [color grids on grayscale
 images](https://www.redsharknews.com/post-vfx/item/6540-this-image-is-black-and-white-no-really)
