[LGM] Press Release ==DRAFT==

[Pat David]

Hi all,

Just took a quick stab at writing a press release now that the program is
published.  Please have a quick look and feel free to offer
suggestions/corrections/critiques where appropriate:

============================================

For Immediate Release:

April 2-5 Leipzig University (Universität Leipzig)

Free/Open culture intersects cutting edge technologies at the 9th annual
Libre Graphics Meeting being held at Leipzig University this year.  The
Libre Graphics Meeting is an opportunity for bringing together users and
developers of various Free/Libre Open Source Software projects.  These
tools are free to use and modify for anyone, and this meeting presents an
opportunity for designers, musicians, artists, and developers to interact,
share their work, and learn from each other.

This year there are almost 80 different talks, presentations, and workshops
scheduled covering a large cross section of the Libre Graphics community.
 Every day there are plans for hackfests, discussions, and workshops.  The
ability for presenters to inspire the attendees through showcasing their
work and methods is a great strength of LGM.

The full program for 2014 is now available here:
http://libregraphicsmeeting.org/2014/program/.

LGM is free to attend and with such a broad representation of the FL/OSS
community there's bound to be talks of interest for everyone!

Registration can be done here:
http://libregraphicsmeeting.org/2014/register/

The Libre Graphics Meeting is the premiere annual meeting for many FL/OSS
projects and relies on the generosity of users and fans to help bring
everyone together to share and interact.  The conference is free of charge
to attend and tries to help offset the costs of bringing these teams
together.  Therefore, it is vital to the continued success of the meeting
that it receive as much support as possible.

There is a pledgie campaign for contributing to help fund the costs of this
invaluable meeting.  If you are a user or just a fan of Free and Open
Source Software, please consider donating as a way to say "Thank You!" to
the developers of these projects.
