About this episode
The episode explores various Free and Open Source Software tools, including RawTherapee and Collabora Office, while sharing experiences from Oggcamp 2026.
Kevie, Al, Dave (aka thelovebug) and Andrew (aka mcnalu) return for another wander through the fragrant fields of Free and Open Source Software and Creatively Common tunes. We start as always with a run-down of unusual operating systems that caught our eye on distrowatch . Next up Andrew and Kevie take a look at RawTherapee – a free, cross-platform image processing program that does a job similar to Adobe Lightroom in allowing you to carefully convert camera raw files. This image of comet R3 Panstarrs was taken by Andrew in morning twilight and processed in RawTherapee to ensure the colours are correct – this comet was notably green. Kevie used GIMP to remove some unsightly power lines. Collabora Office – Collaborative Open-Source Document Editing – then gets the once over from Al and Dave as they explore its suite of online office apps that you can host yourself if you wish. We close with a round-up of feedback and a recounting of tales from Oggcamp 2026 which 50% of TuxJam attended. Tunes licensed under lovely Creative Commons type licenses played in this episode were: Roy Smiles III – The Ocean Appalachia – Cohutta Jon Worthy – Is That…
