Johannes Hanika, Tobias Ellinghaus
10 years of darktable

This spring we’ll celebrate 10 years of darktable. over this long period of time, many people have contributed their time and efforts to add great features. but the ever changing group of developers also poses challenges. we’ll give a short historic overview, discuss different approaches of team organisation and share some experiences we made over the years. we’ll conclude with some blue-sky future ideas which hopefully spur a discussion.

Johannes Hanika received his PhD in media informatics from Ulm University in 2011. After that he worked as a researcher for Weta Digital
in Wellington, New Zealand. There he was co-architect of Manuka, Weta Digital’s physically-based spectral renderer. Since 2013 he is located in Germany and works as a post-doctoral fellow at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology with emphasis on light transport simulation, continuing research for Weta Digital part-time. In 2009, Johannes founded the darktable open source project, a workflow tool for raw photography.

Tobias Ellinghaus is a contributor to darktable and a few other open source graphics tools. He also dabbles in photography with varying success.
