[LGM] If anyone's interested in a libre graphics day at LCA in New Zealand...

[Susan Spencer]

Hi Sam!
I'll be at LCA.
Did you propose a miniconf?
I proposed one too, for open fashion including hands-on demos using the
software and equipment.
Good luck to you!
If yours is accepted, I can help you with setup, teardown, &  general
comraderie.

Best,
Susan
