+
+The GIMP Developers Conference 2005 was held as a sub-event of the [GUADEC 2005](http://2005.guadec.org/) in 
Stuttgart, Germany on 30.05.2005.
+
+
+## Minutes of the GIMP Developers Conference 2005
+
+About a dozen people were present at the meeting. We haven't made a
+list but off the top of my head I remember Mitch, Michael Schumacher,
+Øyvind Kolås, Simon Budig, Raphael Quinet, Karine Delvare and her
+husband, David Odin and me. I know I missed someone. Please bear with
+me, I suck at remembering names...
+
+
+### Merchandising
+
+Picking up on the discussion about Sourcewear that we had on this list
+earlier, we talked about merchandising. I had the impression that
+everyone was rather happy about the solution that we found on the
+mailing-list. We agreed that we don't need an official merchandiser
+but that it is a good thing to link to shops that support the GIMP
+project.
+
+
+### Spending our money
+
+It was shortly discussed on how the money that is raised by donations
+or from other sources should be spent. Problems with the mailing-list
+server were mentioned, but without Yosh being around we weren't able
+to tell if money could help to improve this. We seemed to agree that
+the money should primarily be spent to bring together the people
+working on GIMP. We think that it helps GIMP if money is used to help
+contributors to attend the next GimpCon. This can also be seen as some
+sort of reward for the active contributors and thus can serve a
+similar role as a bounty.
+
+
+### Next GIMPCon
+
+Everyone agreed that we should have another GimpCon soon, if possible
+still this year. This needs a suitable location and people willing to
+organize the event.  A possible location would be Lyon, France where
+David Odin has good connections to the university. He said he will
+investigate for possible dates. If you can think of other locations
+(Ottawa, Canada was mentioned), please tell us about it.
+
+
+### Roadmap
+
+The roadmap for GIMP was discussed shortly. We would like to get GIMP
+2.4 out soon. The plan is to finish what has been started in the
+development branch. This should be doable over the summer. This means
+that 2.4 will have color management but we aren't going to try larger
+changes such as adding support for higher bit depths.
+
+
+### GEGL
+
+We agreed though that 8bit is not going to get us much further and
+that we need to pick up on GEGL again. The GEGL source tree had been
+abandoned for a while, the last commit dating back to March 2004. We
+found that in order to make further plans, we first need to get an
+overview on the current state of the code. Mitch, Pippin and me
+decided that we will spend the next days cleaning up the code in GEGl,
+evaluating it and making plans. That's what we've been doing during
+the last days. More on that later...
+
+
+### Menu reorganisation
+
+The menu reorganisation effort was raised. It seems that Akkana's
+proposal is widely accepted. The proposed patch can be improved but it
+is a good start. If Akkana or someone else has time and motivation to
+continute to work on this, then the patch can be committed right away.
+
+
+
+GUADEC rocked hard this year and it was a pleasure to meet so many
+great people.
