Disabled Boy Creates Art With Gimp

Posted on 18:05 by Unknown

This young man never ceases to amaze me. He attended a screencast introducing free software image manipulation software 'Gimp' at the C³ - Community Computing Center in Bangalore and loved it. Now he raises money by selling the artwork produced using Gimp on gnu/Linux operating system to buy new computers for his community center. Talk about free software empowering people!

The story is also covered in The Hindu recently
