[CREATE] LGM 2012
Hi there - I think that up to ow we have no confirmation of a LGM venue for 2012 - do we? I am at talks with Eliane Domingos, member of The Document Foundation to host a big Free Graphics event on Rio de Janeiro next year -- she has means to get some heavy sposorhip if she asks for it before the end of this month. This means we could possibly afford LGM around here - Since we are meeting today and tomowwow at this small event, I will push for this to be the official LGM (we will have a huge free graphics event anyway) - unless one of you have a big "no" to say about that. js -><- ___ CREATE mailing list CREATE@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/create

hi joao, nice to see you caring about it! > I think that up to ow we have no confirmation of a LGM venue for 2012 > - do we? there are a few ideas, but afaik nobody having made a formal proposal. the most serious proposal i have heard of, has not been publicly discussed, yet. and -- afaik -- it's far from the status of a formal proposal. as a summary, i'm aware of the following possible/proposed locations: - berlin - serbia - vienna - toulouse - argentina - vietnam - kerala - switzerland (no specific order; i hope i got them right...) on top of it there is the option of running several smaller and regional LGMs. > I am at talks with Eliane Domingos, member of The Document Foundation > to host a big Free Graphics event on Rio de Janeiro next year -- she > has means to get some heavy sposorhip if she asks for it before the > end of this month. > > This means we could possibly afford LGM around here - Since we are > meeting today and tomowwow at this small event, I will push for this > to be the official LGM (we will have a huge free graphics event > anyway) - unless one of you have a big "no" to say about that. my opinion is: if you can get finances and a crew, go for it! make a proposal! as far as i could understand it, brasil is one of the places with the most vivid libre graphics communities... it may be the right place to go to! ciao a.l.e ___ CREATE mailing list CREATE@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/create

Hi Joao ! So far and to my knowledge the only formal and yet to be officially proposed (only a matter of vacation time, actually) and the most serious location and team is Toulouse in France. More to come in the coming weeks (or days, even). I am very happy to read your proposal and can't wait to know more about it. Let's make 2012 happen ! Cheers ! Louis 2011/8/12 Joao S. O.

I would hope that maybe for a change we might not only have a solid #1 proposal for 2012, but perhaps #2 might be tentatively lined up for 2013.

More to come in the coming weeks (or days, > even). For this to work, we have to ask for sponsorship right now - this meas we can get sponsorship for the air tickets sponsored as well. Can someone give me a figure of (max) number of developers/lecturers who should be sponsored? If we can factor this in in the sponsorship, we get over the main difficult of hosting it "far away" from Europe/North America. The sposorship and organizers are actually related with "gnugraf" - a user oriented Libre Graphics event that is holding its 4th instance this year: http://gnugraf.org/ People are interested in making "gnugraf" much larger for 2012 - and are getting professional help for this to happen - I am meeting the person responsible for getting this sponsorship for the next 2 days (Eliane Domingos, copyed here) - so that we can have "gnugraf 5" and "Libre Graphics Meeting 2012" as one single thing.

Every effort was made to sponsor everyone who didn't have an employer- or project-sponsored ticket, and the total was divided up as equitably as possible. But I could be wrong; I've only been on the periphery of those discussions. > The sposorship and organizers are actually related with "gnugraf" - a > user oriented > Libre Graphics event that is holding its 4th instance this year: > http://gnugraf.org/ > > > People are interested in making "gnugraf" much larger for 2012 - and are > getting > professional help for this to happen - I am meeting the person > responsible for getting this sponsorship for the next 2 days (Eliane > Domingos, copyed here) - so that we can have "gnugraf 5" and "Libre > Graphics Meeting 2012" as one single thing. > I for one thing that's great; since LGM has always been a moveable feast (so to speak), trying to co-locate it with calendar-and-geographically near events seems like an excellent opportunity. Puts far less strain on the local organizing team (which is part of why I perceive it's been harder to get proposals going as the years progress). Plus you have access to a potentially wider audience, and perhaps more developers could get approval for employer travel funding. At least I think that the former seems to work for some other events (like Community Leadership Summit and OSCON) the latter seems to work for several kernel events.

[CREATE] MyPaint Testing PPA
To keep bug reports and feedback for MyPaint rolling in, I thought it'd be nice to let Ubuntu users who want bleeding edge stuff or just want to help playtest install binaries from an experimental PPA that tracks master. So I set one up: https://launchpad.net/~achadwick/+archive/mypaint-testing Instructions on the linked page. I'll probably update it whenever a new feature like the scratchpad lands on master, or if something major has happened, e.g. a big win like a 33% speed increase in saving...! Expect updates no more than once a week, expect things to break, and if it breaks your computer you get to keep both bits. (Hmm. I should probably split the hi-res backgrounds out of mypaint-data and tell Gürkan, shouldn't I? That's quite a huge package and we don't *need* all of those fancy backgrounds just to run the program.) -- Andrew Chadwick ___ CREATE mailing list CREATE@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/create
