Recently on Groklaw the question was forwarded "Why should software not be patentable?". Gene Quinn was the original asker, and I have to agree with him that the question needs answering. The article got me thinking even more deeply than usual about the issue, and so I'm sharing those thoughts in the hope it will a provide new idea or angle to those with relevant legal expertise.

So you've decided, or been told, you really need to run application X, but it doesn't have a linux version? Well the first thing to do is email support at that company and let them know - you really want to use their application under linux, but now you've done that and you need to get your pipeline up and running.

Well good news - today we're talking about exactly that. The options, the reasons to pick one over another - hopefully it's all there - if not - ask a question :)

The articles have begun, though even this first one needs much more filling out. Starting with what to think about when you're planning a pipeline and then discussing the first task many people think of - working with 2d images.

Post any questions or points of relevant details you'd like to see included in each of the pages and they'll get updated to fill those gaps.

Also contact me with other tasks you'd like to see addressed.

Well as you've no doubt noticed, there's very little here.

This will change, the site will get more polish etc - though what really will be key is content.

I've been using linux in post-production for around 4 years now and I'd like to share what knowledge I've gained and hopefully encourage others to share theirs. While linux is fairly widely used within post production circles there's more we could be doing with it.
