Hi everyone,

We really need to take into account the larger scope of the open font
community which will be present in the projects description page.

AFAIK representatives from the projects below will attend and contribute
to this year's edition (maybe others too, this is not an exhaustive
list). We have font design related tools, font management tools,
foundries and designers involved in upstream font projects, branching or
contributing to existing fonts, hackers maintaining key components of
the font rendering stack, packaging teams, etc.

I'll provide a description in English and French shortly but here are
the names + links as a starting point... The relevant people can always
adjust it later on.  (fontmatrix already has an entry).

- - Fontforge
http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/
(and the rest of the open font design toolkit:
Spiro, fonttools, xgridfit, Graphite, etc,)
