Does anyone know of some good open source collaborative software that would run on multiple operating systems? (most notably windows seven and mac leopard)

I am going into second year graphic design, and our class is becoming quite the tight knit group of people. The school already gives us a centralized graphic design server (for dropboxes, hosting our created webpages, and sharing files), but having a really organized virtual office would make things go really smoothly.

Possibility of an mIRC chat room type deal with the added ability to see everyones shared files and whatnot would be great. The google one would be great, because of the ability to sync with calendar, gmail etc. however that is going to cost a fee once it is released.

Have you looked into acrobat.com? I haven't had a chance to use it, so I can't say whether it'd suit for what you're looking to do.

I think I am getting a bit better with the pen tool, but let me know if you see where I can improve? Also, if there are areas to improve the illustration style, thanks?...

New Graphics Designer

This is something I made in my free time.

I'm not planning on going to art school or anything like that, but I still like drawing and designing, so I'm planning on doing it as a side thing....

Just a series of album covers I made for personal use. I downloaded Vivaldi's Four Seasons a while back and wanted album art that didn't feature four trees. I followed that with covers for audiobooks...
