Hi Christoph,

many thanks for sharing your work. In case of LibreOffice it would be great to have these palettes 
as extensions. Just ask if you need help to pack the soc files into oxt. But maintaining it on the 
extensions site is up to you (or any other volunteer).

Cheers,
Heiko

Open Colour Systems 2.0 Released
================================

freieFarbe e.V. / freeColour is pleased to announce the release of Open Colour Systems Collection 
(OCSC) 2.0.

Following the release of OCSC 1.0, freieFarbe / freeColour has been been recognised by German 
authorities as a non-profit organisation. The release of OCSC is the first one after the official 
recognition.

OCSC 2.0 comprises ten additional colour palettes. More importantly, it is now also available in 
Adobe's Swatch Exchange Format (ASE), as well as a Plain Text Format version with the file 
extension CLF.

All colours have been measured from vendor-supplied colour references with a spectrophotometer.

Since freieFarbe e.V. / freeColour is an advocate of the use of the CIE LAB/HLC colour model as a 
free and reasonable alternative to proprietary colour collections, colour values in the palette 
files are in CIE LAB.

that don't support the LAB colour model and/or one of the formats listed above (yet). The formats 
are: GPL (GIMP, Inkscape, Calligra Office, Krita, MyPaint), SOC (Apache OpenOffice, LibreOffice, 
OpenOffice.org), and XML (Scribus 1.4.x).

Colour Software Release Planned
===============================

freieFarbe e.V. / freeColour also intends to release a previously closed-source colour software 
product written in RealBasic as Open Source under a GPL 2+ licence. fF / fC hopes to find 
contributors who are interested in porting the code from RealBasic to C++ and Qt, as well as 
merging the features of Swatchbooker and the original product. The majority of the code is 
UI-related, but the essential algorithms (the core of the product) are well-commented. Any 
assistance with respect to the organisation of the release of the source code would be welcome.



About freieFarbe e.V. / freeColour:
===================================


freieFarbe e.V. / freeColour is a non-profit organisation that was founded in 2016 by German and 
Swiss colour professionals after having worked as an informal initiative without legal status for 
several years. our motto is "We want to unchain colours". The organisation is looking for 
cooperation with colour experts, software developers and users around the globe who share our 
goals. You are invited to become a member and/or contribute your own project.

freieFarbe e.V. / freeColour is convinced that the design world will benefit from truly free 
colours and better colour software.
