  Tux Paint is a popular drawing program for young children. It has

  hundreds of new pieces of art, improved accessibility, and translations
  to new languages.

  Tux Paint was written in the C programming language, using the
  Simple DirectMedia Layer libraries (libSDL).  This presentation will
  include a brief demonstration of Tux Paint, including some of its new
  features, and may delve into the topics of Tux Paint's development,
  release, and public relations processes.

  hundreds of contributors worldwide, he acts as lead developer, release
  manager, public relations, and more.  His day job is that of CTO of
  Smashwords, Inc., and the remainder of his time is spent helping raise
  two young children, running the Linux Users' Group of Davis, and waxing
