🥳 Happy ㉊th birthday, @GIMP ! 🎂
In 1995, November 21, a young US student, Peter Mattis, announces a program on some Linux newsgroups, called "The GIMP: the General Image Manipulation Program". 2 years later, Spencer Kimball (other co-author) and Peter graduate and leave.
Thanks to the #GPL license, the community take over development.
30 years later… The project is thriving, with contributors from all over the world, and maintainers from Germany, Norway, France, Korea, Netherlands… 🤗

@zemarmot @GIMP Auguri al peggior software di foto editing! Spero che venga soppiantato da qualcosa di identico a Photoshop, ovviamente open source.
