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

[donatella at constantvzw.org]

Hello Ale & Stéphanie,

I also don't think it is a good idea to do the meeting during the Easter
holidays for the same reasons.

The idea is to combine LGM, LGRU and Interactivos?, so everything is going
to happen on the same dates given by Monica yesterday (only Interactivos?
will last long).

It is going to be exciting.

Best regards,

Donatella
