A panel on color should draw lots of attention. Color spaces, color
profiles, inks, color separation, papers. Experts from the graphic industry
would be invited. — I can take this one.

On this path, we would also meet with Pantone people, who I believe could be
interesting having at LGM (not the salespersons). To make that fully
interesting to them too, we could organise a meeting between Pantone and a
few Licence people from the community. Sorting out the licence issue could
help everyone working with F/LOSS and spot colors, to the benefit of both.
At least open the dialog.
