The first issue of the magazine has arrived with subscribers now, and will be in shops in the UK at the end of this week, and in various other countries soon afterwards. Like our Greys comic, we intend to make the source files available for download.

I won't post a lot about it on this site, as Inkscape is used mainly for the final layout, speech bubbles and text. 'Elvie' is created using open source software: MyPaint, The GIMP and Inkscape running on Linux Mint. There's a new Linux magazine called 'Linux Voice' which is a little different to most magazines: they aim to contribute 50% of their profits back to FOSS projects, and they intend to release all their content under an open license (currently CC-BY-SA) within 9 months. It's a 'Free Culture unconference', featuring Free Software, Free Culture works, open hardware, 3D printing, and a few Creative Commons comics ) One final thing: we're going to have a table at Oggcamp in Oxford (UK) on 4th & 5th October. So S6 strips will be posted on an 'as they're ready' basis, rather than a strict time scale. We've started work on Season 6 now, but the struggles of S5 have shown that we can't continue to hit a fortnightly deadline - not if we want to keep the standards up and continue to produce ever more elaborate Easter Eggs. This has now been rectified, so all 139 Greys strips on our site have Inkscape SVG files you can download, each of which contains at least one Easter Egg. Huge thanks to Sam, our French translator, for the amazing amount of work he's done!įinally, we were having trouble keeping up towards the end of Season 5, so some strips went online without Easter Eggs and SVG files.

We now have all of Season 2 translated - in addition to all of S1, S3 & S4 and most of S5. Secondly, we've been catching up with our backlog of French translations. A few of those are now on our website, with the source files in our Github repository. Things may have appeared quiet on the Greys front, but we have been busy behind the scenes.įirst, we've been continuing to create our ' Elvie' strip for Linux Voice magazine.
