Thursday, May 20th 2010 - Libre Graphics Meeting announces the immediate availability of the full schedule of talks, workshops, demo sessions, and birds-of-a-feather meetings (BOFs) for LGM 2010, to be held at De Pianofabriek in Brussels, Belgium, May 27-30. As it has for the past five years, LGM 2010's planned sessions include status reports from the major components of the open source graphics suite: the Gimp, Krita, Inkscape, Blender, Scribus, the Open Clip Art Library, and the Open Font Library. Talks include cross-application collaboration topics such as color standards and fonts, and support for critical file formats ranging from SVG vector graphics to AutoCAD DWG. LGM 2010 will also put real-world application of open source graphics on the agenda, including several talks from professional graphic designers, print publishers, educators, typographers, and professional design mentors. In addition to the main program track, teams will host hands-on workshops demoing Blender, Scribus, Phatch, Inkscape, and type-design. BOFs are scheduled around OpenRaster, swatch formats, fonts, and color management, as well as team meetings for the Gimp and Blender projects and professional graphic designers. This year's LGM will mark the debut of new releases from Inkscape, sK1, LittleCMS, Open Font Library, and the premiere screening of the trailer for the Blender Foundation's Project Durian animated movie, Sintel. About Libre Graphics Meeting 2010 Developers and users of Free, Libre and Open Source graphics software will meet May 27-30 in Brussels at the fifth annual Libre Graphics Meeting (LGM). The meeting space is truly unique -- an historic piano factory, freshly renovated into a lively exhibition and workspace. LGM 2010 gives software developers, artists, designers and other graphics professionals the opportunity to collaborate and learn from each other. LGM emphasizes the sharing of collective creativity, innovation and ideas and is free for everyone to attend. Work at prior LGMs has pushed the state of the art in important areas such as color management, cross-application sharing of assets, and common formats.
