RE: A STEP BY STEP TUTORIAL ON HOW TO CREATE A GIF WITH ADOBE AFTER EFFECTS AND PHOTOSHOP

in #utopian-io7 years ago

Your contribution cannot be approved because it does not refer to or relate to an open-source repository. See here for a definition of "open-source."

You're repo and the topic is irrelevant.
Also, Adobe is not open-sourced...

Wait, the tutorial produced a gif for utopian.io, shouldn't that qualify?

According to the "graphics" tile here this looks like a valid contribution.

Oh, hey, all the rules in one place here.

Your post was on tutorial catog... It is valid if you had "graphics" as your catog

So if the OP edits the tags and swaps graphics in for tutorial, would it be accepted?

You know your landing page is badly written.

Open Source software is free and common property and allows everyone to use it and alter it to their needs.

That sentence is poorly constructed and gives the uneducated reader the impression that it means free as in money. I wrote this for you:
Opensource is free of restrictions, you may modify, use and redistribute this software subject to the terms of the license.

Actually, none of the work is "Free" as in beer. There is the cost of hardware, hosting, materials and peoples time. I wrote this for you:

In general, most Opensource projects are managed and developed by volunteers who donate their time and knowledge to projects for the benefit of the community.

I'm not sure who these "Superiors" are but I suspect the blurb is talking about proprietary software which, as you point out, Adobe is one of. It would help if that distinction was made clear to visitors to the Utopia.io site.

What are the rules? I clicked on the menu item and it actually tells me nothing apart from "Abide by
our rules!" yes there's some vague stuff further down about suggestions but I couldn't find anything about "No proprietary software here please."?

I've been part of the Opensource community for over 20 years, I have a podcast on the subject, contributed to hundreds of projects, written thousands of pages of documentation and well known within the Linux/Opensource community and also a recognised Advocate. Please don't tell someone their work is irrelevant. It may well not be compatible with what Utopia.io is trying to achieve but it most certainly is not irrelevant.
