[LGM] Proposal selection commitee

[Timothée Giet]

Right, let's try to organize to have the "State of Libre Graphics" 
presentation.

@Ale: Please go ahead with asking the projects to submit their slide for it.
And then if you want to do the talk, that would be great. Else if you 
prefer I can probably do it.

I'll check with Halla if she had anything prepared and let you know 
about it.

Timo.
