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

Wed Jan 7 22:06:27 UTC 2015

Thanks, Kat and Christian, for the enthusiasm.

An addendum to the official call: there's also some scope this year for 
what we're calling "off-track" events which are longer, focused events 
taking place before or after LGM itself. Things like hackathons, 
document sprints, workshops, etc. There are already three things 
scheduled for the week running up to the event, but the more, the 
merrier. If anyone has any bright ideas for things that need a 
concentrated work-week, or things that have a particularly public-facing 
slant, feel free to reach out to me directly.
