This all sounds really awesome!
"create" is absolutely great as others pointed out already!
If the SFLC has interest in helping us out this would rock!
They rock and have the needed expertise!
cool.

here's an idea, take create and/or create foundation or whatever its
called to sflc software conservancy (eben moglen's law firm) my friend
bradley kuhn runs, and inkscape is a part of, and move create project,
whatever libregraphics projects exist, and then that gives the
benefits of a foundation without all the loads of work involved with
creating.
I can put that into motion quick, and it works super well!
Plus, I got the hookup for us on that...interest?

I guess I have an overbroad idea of what "design" means then... sorry
for
that. Is the Gimp a design tool? Is Inkscape? If not, then what is an
example of a design tool?
Gimp maybe, Inkscape definitely. Nodebox without a doubt. But I wouldn't
consider
making concept art, drawing comics, matte painting or making textures
design.
Point taken :)
Graphics doesn't include type.. And artists includes everyone.. So where
do
we find the best fit?

Erm, no. Apps like Krita and Mypaint are not design tools.
Perhaps it is not the best fit, but it is better than "graphics,"
(due to
including typesetting/typography) while Libre Artists Foundation
sounds
to
me more like a foundation to support the artists themselves rather
than
also supporting the tools (not saying that the foundation is not
meant to
support the community, just that the name should not point to one
side
over the other imo).
