Sure. As I mentioned earlier, most of our core graphics and production
tracking and management applications and systems are developed
in-house.  At the same time, we use a lot of FOSS software and
libraries in our environment. For example, a lot of our software is
developed with open languages like C++, Perl and Python.  We leverage
software like MySQL, Asterisk, Nagios, Apache etc. in our systems and
customize them for our needs where necessary.

could you be more specific - do you use inkscape, gimp, blender,  
audacity? what do you use for video/sound editing? What are your  
feedbacks on these tools in the professional environment?

We are a visual effects company and do not typically handle sound editing.

Inkscape and Audacity - We don't use these tools in-house, so I'm not
in a position to comment on them. However I hear they're pretty good
tools.

Gimp - We have worked closely with Gimp. More specifically, we have
built several enhancements to the Gimp code such as the ability to
manipulate high resolution images, support for floating point pixel
values etc. These enhancements have been released to the community
under the name of 'CinePaint' (www.cinepaint.org)

Blender - We do not use blender in any of our productions right now.
However we do have several blender enthusiasts in the organization who
use it in their personal projects.

Thanks
aditya

Sure. We'd be happy to share our insights, on how we use FOSS in our
environment, with the community. In fact, we often give presentations
at our studio where we invite students from institutes and other
interested parties to come in and learn a little bit about us.
