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.

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:

goals. You are invited to become a member and/or contribute your own project.
