[LGM] ATTN ALL: Call for 2018 venue...

[Myriam Cea]

Hi everyone, I missted the last Meeting in Río, I miss you Libre Graphics
family. Only I would add, in orther to understand what happend in Madrid
that I was in charge of the "Libre Graphic Workstation" in Medialab Prado
and one of my task were to visit the Design Schools talking about the event
weeks before the Meeting. To make a good diffusion, before the event, is
very important in my oppinion if we what involve new members to our
comunity.
A big hug,
Myriam Cea
