[LGM] [LGRU] [CREATE] Next Libre Graphics Meeting. Madrid.

[Stéphanie Vilayphiou]

Hey Ale,
it's true that students are an important audience. However, I don't 
think making LGM happen during holidays would change anything (saying 
this as being a student not so long ago...). If you have no money 
(usually the case), it doesn't really matter whether it's during 
holidays or not. And if schools are willing to pay a trip to go there, 
it would happen more likely during schooltime!
If you look at other events like Ars Electronica or Transmediale, I 
think a lot of students go there although it is usually in January, and 
in April if I remember well?

Femke, does that mean the LGRU March event is postponed to April?
Cheers!
Stéphanie
