[Clipart] [Fwd: [Inkscape-devel] Inkscape at LGM 2007 Montreal]

Tue Mar 20 17:15:19 PDT 2007

Also, similar to Bryce's email below to the Inkscape community, please
let me know who is going to be attending and/or who wants to attend?
There is sponsorship as well, so best to express interest and let me see
how I can help get things plugged together.

I'll be pulling things together for OCAL.o and OFLB, so please let me
know if/when you will be attending and in what ways you want to
participate?

Jon
