[Bf-committers] LGM 2009

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi,

The LGM is getting close again! This year in Montreal, just after the 
snow melted I guess. :)

I've received this call, just read FYI.

Call for presentations - Libre Graphics Meeting 2009
--
Libre Graphics Meeting, the premiere workshop and conference for 
developers and enthusiasts of free software graphics, will be held May 
6-9, 2009, at Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

LGM invites you to share your work with the community. Topics of 
interest include reports on major open source graphics projects, 
technology previews, engineering talks, power-user techniques, graphics 
business best practices, and general issues such as open file formats 
and collaboration.

Interested projects and individuals should submit proposals for 
presentations, demonstrations, and birds-of-a-feather (BOF) sessions by 
visiting the talk submission page 
[http://create.freedesktop.org/wiki/Conference_2009/Submit_Talk] at the 
CREATE project wiki. Proposals should be at most two paragraph 
abstracts and should include any special technical requirements.

Individuals who already plan to attend can now register free of charge 
at the LGM Web site:

The call for participation ends April 1, so don't delay!

About Libre Graphics Meeting

For four years, the Libre Graphics Meeting has been the premiere 
conference for developers, users and supporters of free software 
graphics applications. Developers from projects such as GIMP, Inkscape, 
Blender, Krita, Scribus, Hugin, the Open Clipart Library, and the Open 
Font Library 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 
brushes and other assets, and common formats.

The face-to-face meetings and opportunities for collaboration are 
important to developers, but LGM offers plenty for end users as well. 
Tutorials, talks, and birds-of-a-feather (BOF) meetings to help free 
software users get the most out of their applications fill out the LGM 
schedule, and demonstrations from artists showcase what is possible.
