Absolutely. It is re-usable, so it makes total sense. It would've been good for FOSDEM, where they had the artist doing the Krita demo. Next year, then. > LGM is extremely small, actually, and has been shrinking for some time.

Okay. I have just told a faculty member at the School of Fine Arts of Málaga about the event, and he is going to see if they can organise a trip to Sevilla. They have also agreed to get in touch with other Fine Art schools from around Andalucía. If they get their act together, I will contact the organisation and see if, at least for one year, we can reverse that trend. > Not that we actually know which event Baptiste was talking about! True. Interesting conversation nonetheless.

This event?: https://libregraphicsmeeting.org/2018/ What are your plans for that, Jean Baptiste? No, we won't be at Libre Graphics. We are organising a small Kdenlive sprint in Paris. We just had a first positive contact for a great location yesterday and are in the process of finalizing it. This will mostly be a sprint to work on the code but also to plan the future evolutions of Kdenlive and several of the long term people involved in Kdenlive will be there, including a professional video editor, a teacher in video editing, and people involved in Kdenlive's public communication. We also plan to make a video of the event and a public presentation in the place that hosts us. I will announce more details as soon as details are confirmed. Regards jb Paul

I understand there should be a place where devlopers should go and compare notes and learn from each other, but an event where you showcase the capabilities of the software and can draw in and end user community must be good. What is this event like? Talks? Demos? Booths?

I'm not him, but I will be going there. The LGM isn't much of an event for project banners though, at least the last few times I visited. It's small- scale. The focus last times was very much on people doing alternative high- brow art stuff with free software, not so much working on making software projects work well together as it was in the early days around 2007. -- Boudewijn Rempt | https://www.valdyas.org | https://www.krita.org

He can contact me directly for more details. Thanks. Jean-Baptiste Mardelle If there is any better way to connect Ryan and Kdenlive/Krita teams other than telling him to send an email to the projects' mailing lists, please let me know. (For example, if he should contact someone from those projects directly, or join a Telegram group - maybe the VDG one?) Thanks a lot! Cheers, Ivana Isadora

The image size for the banners, 3' x 7', is 90cm x 213cm. Personally I'd have really liked to have a Krita banner at FOSDEM to hang up behind the booth to make Krita and KDE easier to spot. These images are pretty big, that's roll-up-banner size or something similar. Roll-ups are hard and heavy but easy to put up somewhere; it's a trade off between having that mechanism and having just a (rolled up) loose vinyl sheet with the banner which you can put up with sticky tape. (But that's about using the banners, once designed). [ade] signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
