Frozenriver and the authors of GUM
Karin Kylander
Karin is a computer designer and illustrator, but also an architect with a Master's degree in Architecture at the Chalmers' University of Technology. She has been working with graphic designs and art since 1985. Computer aided design entered her scene in the late 80's. In the beginning, she worked in a Mac and Windows environment with programs like Photoshop, Pagemaker, Corel Draw and Illustrator etc. In 1996 she entered the Unix arena, and in 1997 she started to use Gimp for image manipulation and graphic design. She is now using Gimp on a daily basis. Most of her work has been concerned with different publications, posters and exhibition displays. If you want to take a look some of her work, please check out the Gimp Around chapters. All artistic images in this manual are produced by her (there are some marked exceptions). She is now moving over to Web design and will for example create the web site for Gyve, which is a free drawing program and a counterpart to Gimp.
Olof S Kylander
Olof is a Unix/Network system administrator. He received his formal computer education at the Chalmers University of Technology. He has been into computers since the early 80's. Unix caught is attention in 1993, and he has since been configurating various Unix systems as well as Networks. He is currently working for the Unix/Network consulting company Sigma-nbit in Gothenburg, and is at the moment occupied by configuring Solaris servers for Ericson. He also has a knowledge of various other systems such as Mac, Windows, NT, Citrix, Novell etc. His speciality is thin clients and Xwindow configurations as well as Internet technologies. He is the author of the technical parts of this manual as well as most of the plug-ins.
Frozenriver, which is Karin's company, deals with digital design in various fields as well as with training courses in digital image manipulation. The speciality is different kinds of informational material such as technical documentation/reports, brochures, magazines and exhibitions as well as webdesign. Frozenriver can provide the entire range from a full advertisement concept to a leaflet at the local mall. Frozenriver can also provide support for Gimp users (and also other image manipulating programs such as Photoshop) in the form of training courses and advice by email.
By hiring Frozenriver for designing your advertisement, web or assisting at your educational program, you will ensure that we can continue developing and maintaining GUM and other free manuals for free design programs in Unix environments (e.g the Gyve user manual GYUM).
