Simon Budig has been a member of the Gimp development community and has already done a lot of talks on using and scripting the Gimp and he provides a long list of tutorials and other resources on the Gimp on his home page.
Simon prepares two talks for the Camp: one on using the Gimp and another on how to write plug-ins for the Gimp. With the imminent arrival of Gimp 2.0 at the Gimp Developers Conference at the Camp, his talk will surely provide some insight on recent developments in that area as well.
