Libre Graphics Meeting 2014 | Leipzig April 2-5
Libre Graphics Meeting is the world’s largest gathering of open source projects from the graphics area and developers and users of these programs. They come together to share the newest developments and ideas how to improve their software or to show what can be achieved with it.
LGM2014 is taking place on April 2-5 in Leipzig, Germany, and will feature workshops for artists and ca. 90 inspiring talks to showcase new and upcoming projects such as Tupi, Kune, Synfig, Laidout, as well as established projects such as GIMP, Krita, Inkscape, Scribus, and Blender.
Since 2006, Libre Graphics Meeting is the primary event where developers of free software for artists meet to work on common goals. LGM is free to attend and open to all! Please let us know you are coming so we can plan ahead to welcome you. Register here!
The next location for the Libre Graphics Meeting will be Toronto, Canada. In 2016, LGM is welcome in London, UK (dates to be confirmed). So, we hope to see many of you in Toronto at the end of April 2015.
