<div dir="ltr">Hi, Ale.<div> </div><div>I think that it's reasonable to expect to be able to consume event-related content using free software, but asking that no proprietary software be involved in its creation and distribution is a bit unreasonable, particularly since our hosts work within a larger organization in which they do not necessarily set policy. I consider us fortunate to have found a hosting team, and such a great one at that. For all of the work they have done, I could not in good conscience ask them to spend extra time recreating content that is already valid and accessible.</div><div> </div></div> <div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Mar 26, 2019 at 11:55 AM ale rimoldi <<a href="mailto:ale@graphicslab.org">ale@graphicslab.org</a>> wrote: </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">dear lgmers, dear local organizers, after having read the announce for the detailed scheduled being published, i had a look at the website and did a routine check. on that i already did in the past for other LGM sites. nothing really bad could be found, of course, but i've made a finding that won't award me much love from the local organizers. but it needs to be said: at least two of the main assets on the website have not been created with free software (i have checked three documents: none of them were created with free software). please, local organizers, do use free software for producing your artworks and your documents! and put the them explicitly under free content licenses! and only use resources that are free, not just for free. opening them with free software and re-saving them with a new signature is the strict minimum, but -- to be honest -- i would expect you to ask the person who created them to restart the work from scratch with free software (of course he/she can keep all the ideas he / she had!) i know that it is painful, but, please, go back to the starting blocks and recreate the graphics with free software. and, please only use free software for all future documents! (all of them: jpg, png, svg, pdf, mp4, ...) i would have thought, it's obvious that the documents created by the organizers of the LGM for the LGM will be produced with free software but it seems that it's not the case. ... we probably need to add a "local organizer requirements" in <a href="http://libregraphicsmeeting.org/lgm/public-documentation/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://libregraphicsmeeting.org/lgm/public-documentation/</a> (lgm setup) with this requirement listed. any suggestion, what else should be in there? (i will create the page later...) back to the local organizers in saarbrücken: if you need help on using our programs, don't hesitate to ask in here or in our support channels/forums/mailing lists! sorry for the bad vibes... i still love you all... a.l.e p.s.: i think that i did the same request in the past to at least one other local organizer team and they "happily" complied. thanks to them! since we decided for a more open communication, this time i'm making the request in public... i hope not to shock too many people. _______________________________________________ Libre-graphics-meeting mailing list <a href="mailto:Libre-graphics-meeting@lists.freedesktop.org" target="_blank">Libre-graphics-meeting@lists.freedesktop.org</a> <a href="https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libre-graphics-meeting" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libre-graphics-meeting</a></blockquote></div>
