The end of the year is right around the corner (already!) but we’re not quite done showcasing projects that have been with us for 10 years or more. September’s Project of the Month is GPL Ghostscript, a complete set of page description language interpreters including PDF, PostScript, PCL5, PCLXL, and XPS.

Even if you’ve never used GPL Ghostscript, you’ve probably heard its name since it’s been around since 1989. Project developers say, “anyone who needs to view, print, archive, or convert PDF, PostScript, PCL, or XPS on any platform is a potential GPL Ghostscript user.” If that describes you, then be sure to check out the app. If you already know it and love it, why not contribute? “We are willing to pay for bug fixes through our bug bounty system,” says GPL Ghostscript’s Project Lead.

Have a look at what the development team has learned over the years, then take a trip down memory lane and see what other projects we’ve covered this year.
