The dates need care again... May 27, 2010 is actually a *Thursday*, not a *Wednesday* I made the corrections on the wiki but I actually wonder about the dates now. If 27-30 is ok, then it runs from Thursday 27 to Sunday 30. But what about your note within parenthesis stating "(venue will be available for additional project meetings on Sunday 31)". Does LGM actually ends on Saturday officially and we have Sunday as an extra day for those who can stay longer? The activities on Wednesday May 26, 2010 are a PRE-LGM right ? If true, I suggest to state this on the wiki to clarify. Hope all this is fine with you! :) Louis 2010/1/30 Femke Snelting > >> On http://www.libregraphicsmeeting.org/2010/ the and logo > >> say "27-30 May", but the first paragraph says "May 26-29".

There needs to be some structure, but not too much. Not many rules, but there needs to be just enough. And session leaders - need to be good. I've been at too many unconferences where the session leader was running a round-table session that ended up being a monoogue, or a conversation between 2 people observed by everyone else. If it's going to be a presentation, let that be clear from the start. But a brainstorm or round-table must have an inclusive session leader at its head. Think Jerry Springer :) Cheers, Dave. -- Dave Neary dneary at free.fr Tel: +33 9 51 13 46 45 Cell: +33 6 77 01 92 13 From jon at rejon.org Sat Feb 6 06:01:58 2010 From: jon at rejon.org (Jon Phillips) Date: Sat, 6 Feb 2010 15:01:58 +0100 Subject: [CREATE] LGM2010 meet @ Fosdem In-Reply-To: <4B674E3D.5020409@collectifs.net> References: <4B619227.8070804@collectifs.net> <20100201220455.501723fa@eisflach> <201002012215.08825.boud@valdyas.org> <20100201224012.22a8b26e@eisflach> <4B674E3D.5020409@collectifs.net> Message-ID: <d21bc5f51002060601rae11d17ke360b1071c7a487a@mail.gmail.com> Ok, cool...so 2 pm at FOSDEM, I'll be there...if you guys around, you can reach me at +1 510.499.0894 Jon On Mon, Feb 1, 2010 at 10:57 PM, Femke Snelting <snelting at collectifs.net>wrote: > > ach, after reading a mail from last thursday announcing a meeting for the > next weekend, i thought that next weekend was going to be the last > weekend... > > Am here confusing dates + days in May -- you're not alone :-) > Anyway, LGM announcers went out to print today and look good! > > F > _______________________________________________ > CREATE mailing list > CREATE at lists.freedesktop.org > http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/create > -- Jon Phillips http://rejon.org/ http://fabricatorz.com/ internet: @rejon + skype: kidproto +1.415.830.3884 (sf/global) +86.134.3957.2035 (china) Sent from Brussels, Brx, Belgium -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Yes, there are definite plans to meet/discuss/move forward the Open Font Library at the next LGM along with plenty of other font-related things... we're working on it... stay tuned. BTW, existing online font services already provide various quality open fonts in their catalogues, for example Kernest: http://kernest.com/licenses/sil-open-font-license As long as they do not remove or hide away the readmes, FONTLOG and metadata indicating clearly the original designer's copyright and licensing intents, it's good to see them take advantage of the open fonts available and they are welcome to do it. Too many sites blur the distinction between the "free fonts", i.e. freeware somehow-distribute-but-don't-modify-or-redistributed and the libre/open fonts under clear community-approved licensing allowing distribution, modification and redistribution. Thankfully there seems to be a reverse trend we should encourage of actually showing the metadata and related information about the font's design with links back to the author's own pages. Some food for thought on that subject on: http://advogato.org/person/yosch/diary/60.html Cheers, -- Nicolas Spalinger, NRSI volunteer Debian/Ubuntu font teams / OpenFontLibrary http://planet.open-fonts.org -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Sneak peeks is well possible though. It would rock if we could have 2k HD projection there... I will try to get a 4k screen even (Belgium sponsor of film). At least you can count on my availability to speak or present, and about half the durian team to attent and do demos, workshops or talks. I'll try to get David Revoy too, his painting classes are mythical already. Blender Foundation will cover travel and hotel expenses for all (unless you have good travel/hotel sponsoring budgets anyway). Next to the film we'll have a Blender 2.5 project to present, which should be in a very usable state by then.

They have a significant non-pro userbase where people are *very* interested in Blender for creating 3d models for 3d-printing. On one hand they could be interested in giving something back, - especially to the blender people of course - and on the other hand they might have something interesting to show, either at the conference itself (maybe a talk?) or as some kind of extended tour to their facilities (their offices are like 1.5h away from brussels, although no longer in belgium, no idea if their production facilities are in the same location).

I'd love to see some nicely laid out expo/demo space where creators could show off their work & share with other creators - and show developers how they use their tools.

For me: I'd rather sit 2 days on my own spot demoing Blender, than doing a 1 hour talk. It gives groups a nice own hangout, and it stimulates inter-group interaction better too. You won't see me easily going to a Inkscape talk, but i'd definitely walk by a Inkscape booth to meet with the devs. Especially on the LGM, it is a collection of many different communities. I would give each larger community their "own" spot to decorate, feel home, to meet each other and hangout. -Ton- @ List owner: can this list be configured to reply to list itself? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ton Roosendaal Blender Foundation ton at blender.org www.blender.org Blender Institute Entrepotdok 57A 1018AD Amsterdam The Netherlands On 12 Feb, 2010, at 11:34, Jon Phillips wrote: > If we do, we should do like lca and only do for a short burst of 3 > hours. > > Jon Phillips > us. +1-510-499-0894 > cn. +86-134-3957-2035 > http://rejon.org > http://fabricatorz.com > > >> On Feb 12, 2010 10:21 AM, "Ton Roosendaal" <ton at blender.org> wrote: >> >> Hi, >> >> Is there space on LGM for a Market or so? >> >> Whether commercial or noncommercial, many people (who do really >> interesting work!) are not so much interested in speaking or big >> demos, but would love to be able to hangout full days on a table with >> a computer on it, giving demos and having 1-to-1 contacts with >> visitors.

My experience from two of the past LGM's is that things get done 1-to-1 or in small groups, while the presentations are excellent for information and to attract interest from the general public. Plus, with the excellent recordings (thanks Kaveh!) I could catch up on the presentations I missed later on. Unfortunately it seems that I can make it only every second year to LGM. No money and no time for traveling this year. > @ List owner: can this list be configured to reply to list itself? been there, asked that, agree with you that it is the better of two less-than- perfect choices to encourage participation/contribution. When I asked a couple of years back, Jon shared the admin password with me. Then I realized that this is an endless debate. A Pandora box. I would make many people unhappy by changing *their* list. So I decided to forget the admin password, learned to press "A" in Kmail and to deal with the nuisance of private messages on list aliases (which usually land in my spam box and I don't get to read).

As the creator of the list, I usually point people to this: http://producingoss.com/en/mailing-lists.html#reply-to This explains the tos & cons, and Karl leans slightly to my side of the argument :) I prefer lists that don't set reply-to, but I participate in both kinds, and appreciate that there is no black & white 100% answer.

Divide it in units of about 3m x 3m. - offer groups for a friendly extra price a workstation and/or 24 inch flatscreen rental - make sure there's a backwall or so that allows to put up posters or banners. - bar height tables and stools always work better than low tables and chairs.

Sorry if the language is a bit on the marketing-ish side, but maybe this can help when putting the arguments forward. 1. Projects which are written in, or rely on, Python Many popular FLOSS graphics projects are integrally written in Python, and many of them have been showcased and supported by LGM: sK1, PiTiVi, MyPaint, Phatch, Fonty Python, FontTools, Nathive, Things, Shoebot. Python is also the scripting language for the 'big three' -- GIMP, Inkscape and Scribus. Besides these, there's Blender, Fontforge, Fontmatrix, GEGL, Krita and exiv2, all of which use Python in a significant way, either as a scripting language or by providing bindings to their API's. In LGM 2008 there was even a talk dedicated to Python in Gimp, given by Jo?o S.O. Bueno. OSP have also provided a number of HOWTOs and reports on using Python in real-world projects in their website. 2. Python for designers and students The tight relationship between Python and FLOSS graphics applications, combined with LGM's emphasis in bridging the gaps between developers and users, makes Python an ever-increasingly relevant asset for designers and artists to get acquainted with. LGM, by supporting those projects and encouraging interaction between the authors and their audience -- and usually blurring that boundary --, has been the most significant venue for that blending to happen. The easy extensibility of one's workflow provided by Python scripting is one straightforward plus; furthermore, Python is more and more present in educational curricula as the language of choice to introduce students to programming, as is the case at the Piet Zwart Institute, one of the supporters of LGM 2010. Finally, applications like Shoebot and Nodebox are aimed at designers who want to use code to find new possibilities in their work, using Python and providing many introductory learning materials, more often than not helping beginners to dive into more advanced uses of Python. [As a final note that just occurred to me: Stani's wonderful work with the award-winning Dutch commemorative coin is also a point worth mentioning. I'm not sure how much of the process involved Python, but nevertheless it's a good example that FLOSS graphics are definitely 'serious business' and not just a niche field where nerds gather, which is still a common perception from my experience.] :r From snelting at collectifs.net Mon Feb 22 00:17:07 2010 From: snelting at collectifs.net (Femke Snelting) Date: Mon, 22 Feb 2010 09:17:07 +0100 Subject: [CREATE] LGM2010 pledgie campaign launched Message-ID: <4B823D83.4030206@collectifs.net> Please circulate this message on your project mailinglist(s), add the banner to your site and ... donate generously :-) --------------------------------------- 10by10by10: Support LGM2010! The Libre Graphics Meeting (LGM) is the annual working conference for free software graphics application users and developers. The fifth edition takes place 27-30 May 2010 in Brussels, Belgium. Teams from GIMP, Inkscape, Blender, Krita, Scribus, Hugin, Open Font Library and many other graphics projects gather to improve their software and discuss new ideas for interoperability and shared standards. http://www.libregraphicsmeeting.org LGM2010 has launched a fundraising campaign called 10by10by10 to raise $10,000 USD from grants, $10K from corporations and $10K from the community. The funds raised from granting organizations, public, and corporate partners will allow participants who have no other means of sponsoring their travel to Brussels to attend the event. You can contribute to 10by10by10 at: http://pledgie.com/campaigns/8926 All donations are tax deductible for US taxpayers.

I think there is no objection to that, just nobody seems to have enough time and interest to do this. There is some core essence of the OpenRaster standard that several applications already implement, or that we have all agreed upon here. I think it would be good to isolate this part from the wiki, put it into a document, and label it OpenRaster 1.0 as you proposed. About future development of the OpenRaster format, I am hoping for the "big players" (GIMP, Krita) to take over the implementation initiative again, and exchange advanced concepts amog each other before MyPaint catches up ;-) I'm not so worried any more if the future ORA can't have fallbacks to render correctly in MyPaint. As long as we can detect this situation reliably, we should be fine. -- Martin Renold From cberger at cberger.net Mon Feb 22 04:29:57 2010 From: cberger at cberger.net (Cyrille Berger) Date: Mon, 22 Feb 2010 13:29:57 +0100 Subject: [CREATE] OpenRaster reference library - libora In-Reply-To: <20100222121124.GA6944@old.homeip.net> References: <ff057e741001130234r6c6a7f6pf5a318ec2ce4e335@mail.gmail.com> <ff057e741001210416l9740211jc32d8fed9ce711ea@mail.gmail.com> <20100222121124.GA6944@old.homeip.net> Message-ID: <201002221329.57601.cberger@cberger.net> On Monday 22 February 2010, Martin Renold wrote: > There is some core essence of the OpenRaster standard that several > applications already implement, or that we have all agreed upon here.

Stay tuned for 0.7 ;-) One of my first changes will be separating swatches and presentation. One of the aims of it is the possibility to display the same swatch at different places of the swatchbook like in the Visibone, or the Pantone swatches. I'm also wondering how it would make sense to have a "Code" field next to the swatch name. Ral colours, like Pantone paints, and a most of the paints have a code and a name, which is sometimes translated (see RAL colours). The problem is that the difference isn't always clear: "PANTONE 102 C" could be considered as a code. But what about "PANTONE Yellow C"? Is it a code or a name? Currently, the "Open from web" feature places that code as "name" and the name as "description" but I'm not sure how that does make sense...
