Call for presentations - Libre Graphics Meeting 2009
Libre Graphics Meeting (LGM), 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 [1] 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 [2] 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 [3],
Inkscape [4], Blender [5], Krita [6], Scribus [7], Hugin [8], Open
Clipart Library [9], and the Open Font Library [10] 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.
