[Open Design + Hardware] Call for Participation: Libre Graphics Meeting 2015

Wed Jan 7 20:32:16 UTC 2015

Having spoken at LGM 2013 in Madrid, I can attest to it being a really
fascinating gathering of practitioners, makers, designers and thinkers in
this space.

Highly recommended, and very much related to the work we all do!

Related: If anyone from this group is interested in proposing a session and
would like backup or a co-presenter, I'd be happy to get involved -- just
let me know.

- Kat

>> http://libregraphicsmeeting.org/2015/call-for-participation/
>>
>>
>> The tenth annual international Libre Graphics Meeting 2015 will take
>> place 29 April – 2 May 2015 in Toronto, Canada.
>>
>> This yearly event is an occasion for teams and individual
>> contributors/artists involved in Libre Graphics to work together, to share
>> experiences and to hear about new ideas.
>>
>> By Libre Graphics we mean Free, Libre and Open Source tools for design,
>> illustration, photography, typography, art, graphics, page layout,
>> publishing, cartography, animation, video, interactive media, generative
>> graphics and visual live-coding. The Libre Graphics Meeting is not just
>> about software, but extends to standards, file formats and actual use of
>> these in creative work.
>>
>> We are looking for:
>>
>> * In-depth presentations of Libre Graphics code-contributions
>> * Showcases of excellent work made using Libre Graphics tools
>> * New and experimental projects in this area to meet the wider community
>> * Reports, use-cases, best practices
>> * Talks that show the accomplishments and strides that Libre Graphics has
>> made in its first decade and what it can do next
>>
>> Available formats (times include Q&A):
>>
>> * Lightning talk (7 minutes, selected at the event unconference style)
>> * Presentations (20 minutes)
>> * Entry for State of the Libre Graphics Union (1-2 slides)
>> * Workshops (1 or 2 hours)*
>> * Birds Of a Feather (BOF), discussion meetings or Hackathons (2 hrs or
>> more)
>> *State of the Libre Graphics Union*
>>
>> We will kick off the event with a joint session that sums up all things
>> that have happened in our wide landscape over the last year. Instead of
>> slots in the schedule for general updates on each and every Libre Graphics
>> project, we invite you to submit a maximum of two slides, showcasing new
>> abilities and/or text enumerating the leaps forward that your project made.
>> *Special focus: Beyond The First Decade*
>>
>> Because 2015 marks the tenth edition of LGM, the focus this year is on
>> the past and future of Libre Graphics. We have a special interest this year
>> in projects that show where Libre Graphics has been, what distances it has
>> travelled, and where it might go in the next ten years. We welcome
>> submissions representing the broad ecology of Libre Graphics, from
>> full-fledged software packages, to artist-built scripts, to art and
>> publications, and even the cultural touchstones and issues present in Libre
>> Graphics communities. We’re looking for talks, workshops and other events
>> that show the accomplishments and strides that Libre Graphics has made in
>> its first decade and what it can do next.
