[CREATE] LGM 2012

[a.l.e]

hi joao,

nice to see you caring about it!

there are a few ideas, but afaik nobody having made a formal proposal.

the most serious proposal i have heard of, has not been publicly discussed, yet.
and -- afaik -- it's far from the status of a formal proposal.

as a summary, i'm aware of the following possible/proposed locations:

- berlin
- serbia
- vienna
- toulouse
- argentina
- vietnam
- kerala
- switzerland
(no specific order; i hope i got them right...)

on top of it there is the option of running several smaller and regional LGMs.

my opinion is: if you can get finances and a crew, go for it! make a proposal!

as far as i could understand it, brasil is one of the places with the most vivid libre graphics communities... it may be the right place to go to!
