Title

OpenRaster, open raster graphics format

Description

OpenRaster is an open exchange format for raster based graphics. The format is inspired by OpenDocument, and aims to reuse as much as make sense of related open formats.

OpenRaster was initiated at Libre Graphics Meeting 2006 in Lyon, when some of the developers of the Gimp and of Krita (and with other potentially interested members of other graphics softwares) met for the first time.

Today OpenRaster is supported by several free and open source applications, libraries and tools.

With this workshop we hope to solve some specification and implementation issues, but we are also open to questions and discussion.
