to be honest: the current version was too long and IMO only insiders can really make sens of it. I don't have much time - here is a rough butcher work (not as bloody as the manicure I got from a table saw earlier this week when I tried to be 3D-creative with wood rather than with Blender). IMO it should fit on a single A4/Letter sheet when using Bitstream Vera Sans 12, and it should be understandable to non-geeks. There is no sacred cow. Feel free to criticize, use, remix, cut. cut! Yuv --- CUT HERE --- ***Libre Graphics Meeting 2010 in Brussels*** **Cutting edge graphics software meets free culture at Libre Graphics Meeting 2010** Users and developers of graphics software will meet in Brussels, Belgium on May 26-29, 2010 at the fifth annual Libre Graphics Meeting (LGM). Held near Brussels' city center in a newly renovated historical piano factory that is now a lively exhibition and work space. The LGM community is excited to bring this event to the European capital. The event is free and everyone is invited to attend. **About the Libre Graphics Meeting** The Libre Graphics Meeting unites and accelerates the efforts to advance creative use of software. Since 2006, this annual meeting is the premiere conference for developers, users and supporters of Open Source projects such as GIMP (image editor), Inkscape (vector graphics), Blender (3D modeling), Krita (next generation painting), Scribus (desktop publishing), Hugin (panorama photography), the Open Clipart Library (reusable graphics), and the Open Font Library (reusable fonts). We gather to work on interoperability, shared standards, and new ideas. Work at prior LGMs has pushed the state of the art in important areas such as color management, cross-application sharing of assets, and common formats. Face-to-face meetings and opportunities for collaboration are important to users and developers alike; in the form of tutorials, talks, workshops, and birds-of-a-feather (BOF) the event offers many formal and informal opportunities to interact. Highlights from LGM 2009 150+ participants from around the world attended the last LGM in Montreal, Canada, for four days. Supported by École Polytechnique Montréal, the LGM user community (raising money on pledgie.com), Sourceforge and many other sponsors (LIST AT http://URL.HERE), the conference funded travel for many international developers whom otherwise would not be able to work face to face. Highlights included contributions by companies building on Open Source; presentations by users, developers, artists and academics, recorded at http://river-valley.tv/category/conferences/graphics/lgm-2009/ ; the projection of immersive movies and slideshows; an exhibit of printed artwork. All major projects in attendance spent time planning activities for the next year. New projects like Lighttwist, a system for running multi-projector immersive video displays, and FacetZoom widget, set the stage for new exciting software developments leading into LGM 2010 in Brussels. A preview of LGM 2010 For LGM 2010, the conference promoters challenge all participating projects and people to set goals and plan creative projects. One or more collaborative projects is to be developed, beyond just the tools used, such as a book or animation. The conference hopes to involve an increasing number of artists and academics to show novel uses of graphics software, and to discuss, analyse and provide inspiration. In the coming months, LGM 2010 organizers will release more information about the upcoming conference, raising funds to enable the event, and release the official call for participation for 2010. Immediately, the conference organizers invite all interested in participating to watch the http://libregraphicsmeeting.org website and join the Create Project (http://create.freedesktop.org) mailing list and get involved. LGM 2010 is hosted by the Libre Graphics Community and Constant in collaboration with De Pianofabriek, Master Networked Media and Research programme Communication in a Digital Age (Piet Zwart Institute, Willem de Kooning Academy, Rotterdam) and the Bruxelles Linux User Group (BXLUG).
