[CREATE] [LGF] A name !

[Camille Bissuel]

Whoosh, sounds there is a lot of interest in this discussion !

In my opinion, we shouldn't try to embrace everything neither to be too
specific... Think about the projects and people at LGM this year, and try to
reflect that : we aren't hostile to musicians, but that's not the domain
where we are fluent. On the other side, we aren't only artists nor
designers.

It's aim to be a cross project for "libre" drawings, 3D, webdesign, print,
automating tools like Phatch, typography, scripting, etc... it will join
different peoples (developers, designers and artists, and also teachers) in
a common interest. The name mustn't exclude part of it, neither try to
embrace the whole world ...

maybe we can think to something more similar to "reclaim your tools" like
the "free brush foundation" (Ok, it's stupid, but you get the idea).

Hard exercise, but let's keep going the brain storming !
