<p><b>About Libre Graphics Meeting:</b></p>

<p>For four years, the Libre Graphics Meeting has been the premiere
conference for developers, users and supporters of free software
graphics applications.  Developers from projects such as <a
href="http://www.gimp.org/">GIMP</a>, <a
href="http://www.inkscape.org/">Inkscape</a>, <a
href="http://www.blender.org/">Blender</a>, <a
href="http://koffice.org/krita/">Krita</a>, <a
href="http://www.scribus.net/"> Scribus</a>, <a
href="http://hugin.sourceforge.net/">Hugin</a>, the <a
href="http://www.openclipart.org/">Open Clipart Library</a>, and the <a
href="http://www.openfontlibrary.org/">Open Font Library</a> gather to
work on interoperability, shared standards, and new ideas.  Work at
prior LGMs has pushed the state of the art in important areas such as
color management, cross-application sharing of brushes and other assets,
and common formats.</p>

<p>The face-to-face meetings and opportunities for collaboration are
important to developers, but LGM offers plenty for end users as well.
Tutorials, talks, and birds-of-a-feather (BOF) meetings to help free
software users get the most out of their applications fill out the LGM
schedule, and demonstrations from artists showcase what is possible.</p>
