AFAIK representatives from the projects below will attend and contribute to this year's edition (maybe others too, this is not an exhaustive list). We have font design related tools, font management tools, foundries and designers involved in upstream font projects, branching or contributing to existing fonts, hackers maintaining key components of the font rendering stack, packaging teams, etc. I'll provide a description in English and French shortly but here are the names + links as a starting point... The relevant people can always adjust it later on. (fontmatrix already has an entry). - - Fontforge http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/ (and the rest of the open font design toolkit: Spiro, fonttools, xgridfit, Graphite, etc,) - - OSP http://ospublish.constantvzw.org/ - - Dejavu http://dejavu-fonts.org - - Unifont.org : freedestop font working group / TextLayout http://unifont.org/ - - Anloc : The african network for localization http://www.africanlocalisation.net/ - - The Debian Fonts Task Force http://pkg-fonts.alioth.debian.org/ - - The Ubuntu fonts team https://launchpad.net/~fonts - - The Fedora font SIG http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Fonts - - The SIL NRSI: Non-Roman Script Initiative http://scripts.sil.org - - ...
