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

[Sam Muirhead]

I'm in New Zealand, and keen to take this on :) Thanks for the prompt!

I wasn't planning to attend LCA due to this year's focus on Internet of Things, which has no crossover with my interests, but I didn't even consider the idea of an LGM miniconf...

I will submit a proposal in the next day or two. If anybody else is keen to be involved, please get in touch!

> In addition to the regular session submissions, though, people can propose one-day 'miniconfs' for addition to the schedule. Approved miniconf organizers are then responsible for putting together their own program. They are typically single-topic-focused events, and holding one on libre graphics would certainly be a great opportunity for the LG community to engage with a totally different audience than the one that habitually frequents LGM itself.

> Several folks on this list have put together similar libre-graphics-day tracks at other local, community events in the past, most recently at SCALE in Los Angeles, and they're always enthusiastic and interesting. So if anybody is in the Australia / New Zaeland region (or likes going there), and feels like giving it a shot, this is the chance.
