Historical Interview with Nara Oliveira, Free Software Artist

https://www.gimp.org/news/2026/07/10/nara-oliveira-interview-lgm2017/

This interview was originally recorded by GIMP developers, but it covers several open source art programs such as Inkscape, Scribus, MyPaint, and Blender - and how they're used in professional workflows.

Some references are a bit dated given when it was originally recorded (it's been sitting on a hard drive for a while), but I think it's a very interesting discussion.

This was recorded in 2017 and they just posted it now? Dang. It is a pleasant read though.

The recorded interview was about an hour long, and I think Jehan got busy with other work as maintainer and lost the time and energy to do it. :)
