[CREATE] Venue LGM 2010!

Tue Jul 14 06:41:03 PDT 2009

Thanks Jon + Nat :-) I finally added to the press release too; will sync
French version a.s.a.p.

- Have taken out St. Gilles reference; once new LGM site is up we can show
better how nice it is :-) (I think everyone will enjoy nice café's, bars
and restaurants just around the corner!)
- The Pianofactory is launching their new site in September; I propose to
start linking to them as of than.
- Tried to clarify free / libre / open source references. I prefer the tag
line 'Cutting edge graphics software meets free culture at Libre Graphics
Meeting 2010 ' but don't know whether the original 'open source freedom'
is a term you feel attached to.
- We are working with artschools to organise workshops and an exhibition;
I'm not sure yet in what form but it will certainly happen but I'd like to
announce this once more concrete.

The venue is guaranteed for the last week of May. I've reserved the
conference room plus two extra-large spaces (one consists of three
interconnected large classrooms; the other is the beautiful downstairs
space you see here:

We can of course make use of cafeteria and courtyard etc. and with the
nice people responsible for The Pianofactory we will more carefully plan
spaces once we get closer to the event. We can also see whether to spread
out to nearby venues.

it fills out the release more. The question is, do you all agree with
me. Also, is there enough flesh to actually connect and promote a
collaborative project?

you get a chance to add to the press release. I had hoped to send out
on monday, but if you get edits in, can do on TUESDAY china time.
