The adventure continues

February 7, 2007 9:21 pm Dave Neary libre graphics meeting

After my initial organisation of the Libre Graphics Meeting in Lyon last year, Louis DesJardins in Montreal valiantly volunteered to carry the torch on to 2007 – planning for this year’s conference is going nicely now (at least, now that we’ve sorted out a website, and gotten all the DNS issues ironed out, thanks to Craig Bradney, Peter Linnell and Andy Fitz).

The line-up is looking good, and Louis has out-done himself (and certainly out-done me) with the amount of stuff organised. I’m very impressed.

This morning brought me another pleasant surprise – not only has the torch been carried on, but the idea virus has spread the conference beyond its original frontiers to Brazil – as part of FISL 8.0, some Grazilian Free Culture, Free Software and Free Art nuts will be organising the Libre Graphics Meeting Brazil. Rock!

    Love that second graphic

    short of some miraculous financial windfall I wont be visiting Montreal anytime soon but it is great to see LGM taking off, long may it continue.

    It is “Brazilian”, not “Grazilian”. 🙂

    Hi Dave,

    I’m glad to see you support Free Art and Free Content licenses.
    I hope you’ll be able to come to a Copyleft Attitude “rencontre” soon.
