117 new Effects for GIMP 2.6
Thanks to GIMP FX Foundry, you can now equip GIMP 2.6 with 117 additional scripts that can work some spectacular extra effects into existing graphics.
The Gimp FX Foundry SourceForce project made it its assignment to provide scripts for porting into the current GIMP or allow creating them from scratch. The scripts allow GIMP graphics to be endowed with special effects, such as blurring or distorting them in certain ways. The Foundry now provides 117 new scripts for GIMP 2.6 that are not part of the graphic software's standard installation.
Among them are the Roy Lichtenstein effect script to render graphics in the pop artist's style, the Planet Render script to create a planet of your choosing and desired size and dimension. and the Old Photo script to give existing photos that antiquated touch. A complete list of scripts is on the project's documentation page, although details on what each script does are rather sparse. The best thing is to download the script and try it out.
Downloads can be tar or zip. Unpack and copy them into your home directory under the hidden ~/.gimp-2.6/scripts directory. After starting GIMP 2.6, actualize the scripts by using Filter, Script-Fu, then Refresh Scripts. A new Fx-Foundry menu will subsequently appear to access the scripts.

but at work...
No problem, there is portable gimp, from http://portableapps.org
Remember to install the scripts in the correct directory:
launch gimp, go into the menu
Edit->Preferences
then Folders->Scripts
and you will find the folder where to extract the scripts to. In my case it is:
D:\SW\GIMPPortable\App\gimp\share\gimp\2.0\scripts
