    created an image editor

    named it GIMP

    mascot is a furry face in a black leather mask with a brush in the mouth

    is open source community okay?

    We honestly should rename GIMP. It’s a bad name. I think a new and better acronym would substantially improve brand recognition. Something like:

    Free Utility for Creative Kits, Brushes, Overlays, & Imaging

      There was a fork that did nothing but replace the name and graphics to GLIMPSE

      The gimp oss community is really fucking rabid about NOT EVER changing the name

      You forgot that for whatever reason we have to have an acronym in our acronym.
