[LGM] selection for LGM: 18-19 February

[Femke Snelting]

Hello Louis,

> In advance excuse me if I missed something. I am overwhelmingly busy at the office with a water damage that has affected all our operations since Dec. 2. However I can catch up, of course.

I am so sorry to hear about the damage

> One thing that I would like to stress prior to set the schedule is that I think we need a breathing schedule.

> Leaving much room for meetings, among teams and between teams makes lots of sense to me.

Yes. The schedule itself was discussed on the list a few months ago, and has the usual large breaks, an open morning on Wednesday and a hack-day on Sunday http://libregraphicsmeeting.org/2013/schedule

I personnaly don’t care whether one of the Scribus’ team member (or any team) shows up on stage to explain what has been done or what’s coming in the near future.

I do :-)

Unless, of course, they show up with an incredible and long-awaited feature! (which happens). But to me *the* real interest of LGM is being able to sit down with people and work hard on some topics and have the ideas put on the table. LGM is great for this. So, booking conferences, yes. But not only. Booking meetings, big yes. *And* leave space for lightning talks that will naturally emerge from the big bang of ideas, as always in LGM.

Agree of course with leaving enough space for lightning talks and meetings; you'll see the venue, location and climate is made for it!

LGM is clearly not a conference, it is a meeting. But for newcomers, presentations are the only way to show what they are working on; for everyone it is a chance to find out about what others are doing and who to meet with. And there is lots of new exciting projects on the horizon.

... which should not prevent any one else from meeting during the presentations if they'd feel like; work spaces will be available during the whole day.
