The third issue from CODE:FREE is ready:

CODE:FREE is a different pdf magazine / art book for the open source scene. It contains only pictures made with free (not freeware!) software like MyPaint, Glips, Krita, K-3D, 3D Canvas, Gogh or other . The most of it are made in Inkscape, Gimp or Blender. The magazine itself is made with Scribus.

I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Head of Community at Sketchfab.

    Congrats to the authors and artists; but I think they may need to break out the DTP 101. I noticed some severe compression artefacts and aliasing - for an artbook that's a bit of a problem.

    @Alex Blank: while I've nothing but respect for what the Scribus people are doing, having used it I'd have to say the closed source products are probably worth the money. The core is there but Scribus has a *long* way to go.

    Wow, this is a great magazine. I not only like the art in it, but I also like how it introduces you to new open-source programs. Like in this one, there was a feature on Alchemy. I looked at it and said "Huh, never heard of it before. What does it do? Oh that's cool! I could use that! I should go check it out!" Ya know? Even on things that weren't featured, if you have never heard of the program the person used to make the picture, then you can just go look it up; it's just a google away. :)
