dear creators, please spread the news!
ciao a.l.e Press release #1: Libre Graphics Meeting 2012 in Vienna, Austria Release Date: January 25, 2012 Hacking & Creativity @ LGM 7 May 2-5, 2012 – UAS Technikum Wien – Programmers of free and open source graphic software, artists and users from around the world are headed to Vienna for the 7th annual Libre Graphics Meeting in May. The Libre Graphics Meeting is the annual gathering for users and developers of free and open source graphic software: artistic tools that are free for anyone to use and modify. LGM gives software developers, artists, designers and other creative professionals the opportunity to collaborate, share their work and learn from each other in a lively event. A Preview Every year, Libre Graphics Meeting focuses on individual and group interaction, emphasizing free media and the software that produces it. This year’s attendees can expect a similar format that will include hacking sessions, meetings, workshops, presentations, demonstrations, and birds-of-a-feather (BOF) sessions. Leading up to the conference, special lab sessions bring developers and artists face-to-face to make improvements in creative software. Gaps can form when developers and their users don’t meet face to face; LGM gives artists and educators a voice in the building of their tools. Both content creators and developers will present, bringing a diverse community together to advance the technologies and strategies of high-quality free creative software. Submit a talk! LGM’s strength comes from the presenters who talk about their work and inspire others by sharing their experiences, techniques, and best practices. Whether you are a developer, an artist, or an enthusiast, you can be a part of this year’s event by sharing your story and your work.
