The Libre Graphics Meeting (LGM) is an annual working conference for free software graphics application users and developers. The fifth edition takes place 27-30 May 2010 in Brussels, Belgium. Teams from GIMP, Inkscape, Blender, Krita, Scribus, Hugin, Open Font Library and many other graphics projects gather to improve their software and discuss new ideas for interoperability and shared standards.

We aim to raise 10.000$ to help cover travel costs for volunteer
developers and presenters that would otherwise be unable to journey to Belgium. Support the development of a Free, Libre and Open Source application-ecosystem and make a donation!

All donations are tax deductible for US taxpayers. Larger donations from corporations and individuals can be done through this website or contact us directly at lgm@gnome.org

Just to make things clearer for Inkscape users, why it matters to you:

1. Some developers were planning to attend (Jon Cruz, Jasper van den Gronde etc.)
2. Jimmac (Novell, Tango project) was going to give a talk on icon design
3. Many more Tango project designers were going to attend
4. At least Ivan Louette who you know as SVG Filters guru was planning to come

You'll also meet MyPaint, GIMP and Scribus team. Some Blender guys were going to attend too (Ton Roosendal, David Revoy).
