[LGM] Proposal selection commitee

[Joao S. O. Bueno]

Ok.  .buses apart  -- and back into
The State of Libre Graphics!

:-)

I really believe that is an important presentation for us to have.

Unfortunately, I am not, at this moment, sure I will be able to attend.
I will try to - but if I were certain I would volunteer for making this talk.

So, if Halla can't attend as well, someone could check what she's got
so far - and retrieve contents for more projects. Maybe Ale could make the talk?

As I've stated before in another e-mail, I can help prepare the presentation,
if needed.

(My own 'terminedia' pet project I presented on the "online LGMs" could
make use of a slide on the "State of Libre Graphics".)
