Press release #1: Libre Graphics Meeting 2012 in Vienna, Austria


Release Date: January 25, 2012


Hacking & Creativity @ LGM 7

May 2-5, 2012 – UAS Technikum Wien – Programmers of free and open
source graphic software, artists and users from around the world are
headed to Vienna for the 7th annual Libre Graphics Meeting in May. The
Libre Graphics Meeting is the annual gathering for users and developers
of free and open source graphic software: artistic tools that are free
for anyone to use and modify. LGM gives software developers, artists,
designers and other creative professionals the opportunity to
collaborate, share their work and learn from each other in a lively
event.


A Preview

Every year, Libre Graphics Meeting focuses on individual and group
interaction, emphasizing free media and the software that produces it.
This year’s attendees can expect a similar format that will include
hacking sessions, meetings, workshops, presentations, demonstrations,
and birds-of-a-feather (BOF) sessions. Leading up to the conference,
special lab sessions bring developers and artists face-to-face to make
improvements in creative software. Gaps can form when developers and
their users don’t meet face to face; LGM gives artists and educators a
voice in the building of their tools. Both content creators and
developers will present, bringing a diverse community together to
advance the technologies and strategies of high-quality free creative
software.


Submit a talk!

LGM’s strength comes from the presenters who talk about their work and
inspire others by sharing their experiences, techniques, and best
practices. Whether you are a developer, an artist, or an enthusiast,
you can be a part of this year’s event by sharing your story and your
work.
