Whoosh, sounds there is a lot of interest in this discussion !<br><br>In
my opinion, we shouldn't try to embrace everything neither to be too
specific... Think about the projects and people at LGM this year, and
try to reflect that : we aren't hostile to musicians, but that's not the domain where we are fluent. On the other side, we aren't only artists nor designers.<br><br>It's aim to be a cross project for "libre" drawings, 3D, webdesign, print, automating tools like Phatch, typography, scripting, etc... it will join different peoples (developers, designers and artists, and also teachers) in a common interest. The name mustn't exclude part of it, neither try to embrace the whole world ...<br>
<br>maybe we can think to something more similar to "reclaim your tools" like the "free brush foundation" (Ok, it's stupid, but you get the idea).<br><br>Hard exercise, but let's keep going the brain storming !<br>

</div>I see no reason to exclude type from graphics and for all I know it is<br>
not commonly done. In other words: graphics does include type, graphic<br>
design does include typography, although a specialist in either might be<br>
vary to call himself a specialist in both.<br>
