[LGM] should LGM or its site have something to say about Charlie Hebdo?

[Camille Bissuel]

I've done my own publishing by myself, thank you.
I'm not asking LGM to say "Je suis Charlie" as my text proposal tried to
show.
Call it "talk" or "BoF", I still believe there is a problem here. Whatever
we want it or not, thoses event affect LGM indirectly. And if we can't
agree on such a root concept...
End of debate for me.
