I think that the LGA/LGF/LGwhatever should have a strong website. Even if it would not really do anything, at least it could provide a platform for communication etc.<br><br>Jake<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Jun 6, 2010 at 10:55 AM, Jon Nordby <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jononor@gmail.com">jononor@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>Everyone here that has experience from free software projects, or<br>
other volunteer based activities know that words and dreams are cheap.<br>
In the end it boils down to what people actually do and work to make<br>
happen. The LGA will be nothing and do nothing without people doing<br>
it. I'm going to answer from that standpoint, what I want to _do_.<br>

</div>In the short term, I would like to make a website that serves as a<br>
common face for the serious libre graphics projects, describing what<br>
they do, and what libre graphics is.<br>
I can provide content, and Norwegian translation. However, I consider<br>
building the website itself to be outside of my area of expertise. As<br>
already stated, I have <a href="http://libre-graphics.org" target="_blank">libre-graphics.org</a>. I also have a VPS that we<br>
can host the website on. I'll also work to market this website, and in<br>
effect the association.<br>
A formal organization is not a requirement for this.<br>
<br>
In the longer term (6-12 months), I might work to get a training DVD<br>
for MyPaint published. This depends on a lot of external things<br>
obviously, but if I'm able to do that I would do it under the LGA<br>
umbrella and hopefully create a foundation to make it easy for other<br>
libre graphics projects to get things published as well.<br>
This might benefit from having a formal organization backing it.<br>
<br>
What will, or would you like to do under an LGA umbrella?<br>
