[CREATE] spy report

[Aileen Derieg]

Dear people,

Although I have no wish to interrupt current discussions, I just 
wanted to let you all know that I have now posted my "spy report":

Comments are most welcome, but if you want to comment directly on the 
blog, rather than starting yet another thread on this list, you will 
need to register on the blog first. If confirmation seems to be taking 
too long, please let me know, and I will approve your account 
immediately.

Brief explanation: I wasn't really there last week as a "spy", but I 
was specifically invited as an interested outsider to observe and 
reflect on the Libre Graphics Meeting this year. What I hadn't really 
planned for was how much I enjoyed it, how far I kept finding myself 
drawn into presentations, discussions and conversations. This made it 
a bit more difficult to step back and reflect, which is the reason for 
the delay, for which I would like to couple my apologies with thanks.

The position I am writing from: I live in Linz, Austria, where I earn 
my living as a translator. I started with computer books in the 
mid-90s, which led to my interest in Linux and free software. Most of 
my work now involves contemporary art and New Media. Alongside that I 
am involved in various other contexts, such as the independent art 
scene in Linz, Genderchangers, and MAIZ, an organization of and for 
migrant women in Upper Austria.

Thank you for all of your efforts,
Aileen
