Engxenyeni yesibili ka-2019 sabelana lapha kubhulogi izindaba ezimayelana nokuzalwa kwemfoloko yeGIMP, enegama le- "Ukubona kancane" futhi lokho kuzalwe yizicelo zeqembu lezishoshovu ngingenelisekile ngezinhlangano ezingezinhle ezisuselwa egameni elithi "Gimp."
Ngesikhathi imfoloko idala "ama-echo" amaningi phakathi komphakathi weGimp kanye neLinux, njengoba yadalwa ngemuva kweminyaka eyi-13 yaleli qembu lezishoshovu elizama ukukholisa abathuthukisi beGimp ukuthi bashintshe igama labo, okusobala ukuthi bala nje ukwenza kanjalo.
Njengesikhumbuzo, ku-2019, i-Glimpse imfoloko kusuka ku-GIMP ngemuva kweminyaka eyi-13 yokuzama ukukholisa abathuthukisi ukuthi bashintshe igama layo. Abasunguli beGlimpse bakholelwa ukuthi ukusetshenziswa kwegama elithi GIMP akwamukelekile futhi kwenza kube nzima ngomshicileli ukusabalalisa ezikhungweni zemfundo, imitapo yolwazi yomphakathi kanye nasezinkampanini, njengoba igama elithi "gimp" libonwa ezinye zezikhulumi zesiNgisi njengesihlamba kwabanye amaqembu omphakathi. , futhi inencazelo engemihle ehlotshaniswa ne-BDSM subculture
Ngemuva kwesinqumo sakhe sokugcina sokudala imfoloko futhi aqhubeke "nentuthuko" (ukuyibiza kanjalo) isikhathi esingaphezu konyaka owodwa nohhafu, okumangazayo manje ukuthi Abathuthukisi be-Glimpse banqume ukumisa intuthuko bese uhambisa amakhosombe ku-GitHub esigabeni sokugcina umlando. Njengamanje, iphrojekthi ayisazimisele ukukhipha izibuyekezo futhi iyeka ukwamukela iminikelo.
Lezi zindaba zaqhamuka kungekudala UBobby Moss, umholi nomsunguli wephrojekthi, ushiye iphrojekthi, kwakungekho noyedwa phakathi kwethimba elalisele owayekwazi ukuthatha indawo yakhe nokuqhubeka nokugcina iphrojekthi iqhubeka.
UBobby waphoqeleka ukuba ashiye iphrojekthi ngesicelo somqashi, oveze ukungenami ngeqiniso lokuthi ukuthuthukiswa kweGlimpse kuqale ukuthinta ukusebenza kwemisebenzi eqondile kaBobby emsebenzini (umsebenzi omkhulu uhlobene nokubhala imibhalo yobuchwepheshe e-Oracle).
Ngokwengeziwe, ngenxa yoshintsho kunqubomgomo yenkampani, uBobby kwakudingeka ukuthi athole isiqinisekiso somthetho uma kungekho ukushayisana kwezintshisekelo.
Ukuqala engxenyeni yesibili yonyaka we-2020, nguBobby kuphela nabanikeli abambalwa abangaphandle abaqhubeke nokusebenza ngqo kwimfoloko, ngenkathi abanikeli abasele bekhungathekile bezama ukuqala ukwakha kabusha i-UI.
Inkinga bekungekhona ukuntuleka kwemali nabasebenzisi, kepha ukungakwazi ukuthola abahlanganyeli uzimisele ukujoyina umsebenzi kwimisebenzi ehlobene non-code njengokuhlaziya imilayezo yamaphutha, ukuxazulula inkinga ukupakisha, ukuhlola izinhlobo ezintsha, ukuphendula imibuzo yomsebenzisi, nokugcina amaseva. Ngenxa yokushoda kosizo kulezi zindawo, iqembu lizabalaze ukukala iphrojekthi ngokuya ngesidingo esikhulayo.
Ukushiywa kwephrojekthi kungahle kungabaluleki kangako, kepha inkinga edalwe okokuqala ukuthi ngabe kubaluleke kangakanani ukwakhiwa kwemfoloko kusuka ekuthandeni? Isoftware yamahhala ibone ukuzalwa, ukufa kanye nokunqoba kwezimfoloko eziningi, noma ngabe kusuka ekusatshalalisweni noma ekusetshenzisweni okwathi ngaleso sikhathi abathuthukisi noma imiphakathi yayinokungezwani futhi yakhetha ukuhamba ngendlela yayo.
Kepha kulokhu ukudala imfoloko yesoftware eyaziwa umhlaba wonke ngeqiniso elilula lokuthi "igama layo angilithandi" futhi lithathwa njengesisekelo esisho igama ku "x" ulimi, isiko noma inhlangano yomphakathi inencazelo ethi "X" , empeleni ayinakho ukuhlobana futhi kuyaqondakala kakhulu ukuthi kungani iminyaka eyi-13 isicelo sakhe singaqhubeki nje.
Manje, ngithanda ukwabelana ngombono wami ngale ndaba, ngoba lesi simo singikhumbuza ingxenye enkulu ye-movie yeNemo, lapho izinhlanzi zibalekela khona futhi zenze indawo yesigcawu lapho bethi "Futhi manje yini?", Ku lapho ireferensi ihunyushwa ngezindlela eziningi, kepha ikakhulu ikhombisa ukuthi isikhathi eside bezama ukufeza okuthile okuthi ngemuva kokukuthola bangazi ukuthi benzeni.
Isimo siyefana kulokhu nakubo bonke abantu abenze imfoloko yeGimp, ngoba umzabalazo weminyaka eyi-13 awulula futhi uqeda iphrojekthi ngenxa yokushoda komholi o-1… kahle, kushiya okuningi okufanele ucabange ngakho.
Ekugcineni, ingxenye yokugcina edonsela ukunaka kwami okwamanje futhi eseqale ukunanela izinyanga ezimbalwa yisihloko esidumile se- "the footprint", ngoba udaba lokukhokhiswa kwesoftware luyindawo ebalulekile okufanele uyicabangele.
