The subsidy is granted by: The committee for Design and Architecture of the Department Arts and Heritage of the Flemish Ministry for Culture, Youth, Sports and Media.

The committee trusts that the methodologies proposed will guarantee that the event will have a societal impact. The various international collaborations presented, are seen as a positive asset. The applicant and partners involved, will also help garantuee the quality of this project." So I think you'd need to rephrase that to make it spin ;-) something like: "Flemish ministry for culture recognizes the importance of Libre Graphics Meeting" Unfortunately the Federal Government doesn't support culture directly.

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. <a href="http://www.libregraphicsmeeting.org" target="_blank">http://www.libregraphicsmeeting.org</a> LGM2010 has launched a fundraising campaign called 10by10by10 to raise $10,000 USD from grants, $10K from corporations and $10K from the community.
