*Phil Waclawski: Krita Basics - Tools, Layers, Coloring etc*
*Description*:
Krita is a powerful painting program, designed for graphic designers and
general artists. I will introduce the basic features it provides, along
with some special filters, including G'mic. I will however not be able
to demonstrate any artistic skills :)
*Biography*:
Phil has been a faculty member, focusing on open source software at MCC
for nearly two decades.
Phil teaches a variety of course, including MySQL Database, PHP, Python,
Javascript, HTML 5 and CSS, Linux OS, Internet Server Set up and more.
This summer, Phil will once again be offering a "MCC Multimedia Madness"
summer camp for 6-8th graders. Over the two weeks I will cover a wide
range of open source software, including GIMP, Inkscape, Krita,
Audacity, Blender, Hydrogen Drum Kit, Tux Guitar, Openshot, Linux
Multimedia Studio, work with green screen and more.
For hobbies, Phil has too many. Blacksmithing, archery, Leatherworking,
Wood Working, Jewelry, Sound Recording/editing and SCUBA diving. Phil is
also learning to play the Bass.
Phil has been using linux at home for desktops and servers since 1994.

*der.hans: AsciiDoc - Plainish text for fancy output*
*Description*:
AsciiDoc is a great text tool for documentation from simple notes to
books. A text editor is all it takes. Since it's all text, AsciiDoc
lends itself to revision control and revision control WebUI systems like
GitLab and GitHub support it.
*Biography*:
der.hans is a technology and entrepreneurial veteran. Roles have
included director of engineering, engineering manager, IS manager,
system administrator, community college instructor, developer and DBA.
In his free time, der.hans endeavors to help build community through
user group and conference leadership. He is chairman of the Phoenix
Linux User Group (PLUG), BoF organizer for the Southern California Linux
Expo (SCaLE) and founder of the Free Software Stammtisch.
He presents regularly at large community-led conferences (SCaLE, SeaGL,
LFNW) and many local groups.
