Adding stamps to Tux Paint was an exciting and enriching experience for the students. First, they analyzed how the program works and discovered the mechanism that the program uses for the implementation of stamps. Then they learned how this particular characteristic of the program permitted the addition of stamps and how to do it. They also acquired a deeper knowledge of GIMP during the manipulation of the images. The whole process gave them an opportunity not only to develop new technical abilities, but also to identify and appreciate local flora. Most importantly, they learned that anyone, even non programmers or children, can actually influence and improve information technology when software freedom is granted.
