[LGM] Collaboration of LGM and C3VOC

[Jehan]

Hello C3VOC!

How are you?
If not mistaken, we got no answer yet. I was wondering if you had a look 
on your availability for the LGM event. Last I discussed with some of 
your members on IRC, they were telling me you would be interested.
As for us, we are interested to have C3VOC present in LGM.
Thanks!

Jehan
