Report from AUGS Meeting / OS4 on Tour in Basel
The official report from AUGS Meeting 2003 in Basel is online, with pictures from Caspar Schlegel (AUGS).
The meeting itself was enjoyable for the organizers (Claude Müller/AUGS
and Jürgen Schober/point.design).
The AUGS team was happily surprised that they actually had to bring in more chairs for the OS4 presentation, which they did with pleasure.
Locally, the way to the currently largest Commodore logo in the world was described: in "Aesch" not far from Basel one finds such a logo over 9 meters tall, where it has been for many years at the former headquarters of Commodore Switzerland.
Many thanks to all the visitors and have fun with the pictures. A special thanks to Jürgen Schober for his honorable efforts.

Golem: The end of the GIF-Patent
burnallgifs.org
20 June 2003: The LZW patent expires today in the United States.
However, patents on LZW are still in force in other countries.
Please continue to refrain from using GIFs. More importantly, do
not allow your communications to be censored by the whims of
patent holders. Things you can do:
- Oppose the expansion of software patents to your country, if such
patents are not available there now.
- Insist that standards bodies in which you participate make an an
"innovation compatible" (IC) license a requirement for any patents
needed to implement a standard.
- Develop and support software that works with non-patented file
formats and network protocols, instead of patent-encumbered ones.
Sign the petition against software patents in Europe.
PNG-Tips for Cartoonists
Hackles writes:
In short, PNG combines (and improves upon) the best qualities of GIF
and JPEG, and can effectively replace GIFs on the Web. So why don't
people use it more often? Here are some tips on how to use it correctly.
I wrote this article to encourage cartoonists to start using PNG, and
to share some tips on exploiting PNG's strengths. Used correctly, PNG
can drastically reduce the file size and download time of one's comics.
