[CREATE] Need help writing the script for the documentary about LGM

[Schrijver]

(and now to everybody, I keep doing this wrong)

Hey Jakob.

I think it’s so super great you’re doing this!

Great production value in your material.

Of course I have anecdotical remarks about the edit and script but I don’t know if the thread would work for that. So I added a section to the bottom of the etherpad.

I didn’t drop by yet to say how much I enjoyed LGM yet. I really did. To the extent that it’s hard to express. Thanks, everybody!

I will only have smart things to say about it until the experience is digested somewhat in my system.

all the best,

Eric

Together with Andy Fitzsimon, we created the script for the introduction, which is somewhat a general story on collaboration in general, how open source is the way to go, and finally how libre graphics are the climax.

The creative arts space makes for a natural melting pot for the inherit creativity of open source software. L-G-M, the Libre Graphics Meeting, unites code writers, artists and people in between each year for a mutual benefit: to make the tools and the works made with those tools a better place."
