<p>The Libre Graphics Meeting (LGM) is an annual meeting on free and open source software for graphics.</p><p>Held yearly since 2006 the Libre Graphics Meeting aims to attract developers, artists and professionals who use and improve free and open source software graphics applications.</p><p>LGM promotes discussions amongst software developers, users, and the large intersection of those two categories. Unlike many events devoted to Free/Libre Open Source Software, LGM has always had a strong artistic focus, with designers and artists showcasing their work alongside the work of software developers.</p><p>More on the history and structure of LGM is available at <a href="http://libregraphicsmeeting.org/lgm/" target="_blank">our organizational website</a>.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><div id="day-26" class="day-wrapper"><h2 class="day">26th Thursday.

In print. In part responding to the idea that F/LOSS tools weren’t up to the job of doing professional-level print design, we aimed to make a magazine that design practitioners would want to read, keep, show off, and share. Because of the magazine’s focus on print, its online presence was always something of an afterthought. The editors of Libre Graphics magazine have now, two years after the end of print publication, launched an online archival project. The archive is about taking all the good work that happened over the five years of publication and making it findable. We recognize that, compared to the relatively limited print runs we produced, a searchable, indexable archive will have more utility for more people. The archive, which we’re launching in conjunction with LGM 2018, will make all of the work done by so many people over the five years between 2010 and 2015 more available, accessible, and usable. Our talk will cover not just the rationale for the project, but also the process and workflow by which we built the archive.</p></div><div class="slot"><span class="time">11:00</span><h5 class="people">Manetta Berends <span class="country">nl</span></h5><p class="name">FLOSS based publishing, a static and generated example</p><p class="description">While departing from a concrete example, the making of website <a href="http://varia.zone/" target="_blank">varia.zone</a>, this presentation will contextualise the choice for a static and generated workflow.

As FLOSS tools in higher and secondary arts and design education remain consistently under-represented we are calling on all LGM participating educators, artists, designers, developers. Our goal is to produce an introductory workbook, a collection of activity briefs, on basic graphic design elements production (colour, image, type, layout and motion)using Libre Graphics tools.</p></div><div class="slot"><span class="time">10:30—12:30</span><h5 class="people">Neil C.

The workshop will introduce you to basic project building and patching with Praxis LIVE, including 2D/3D graphics, video processing and animation. Participants may then continue to experiment with visual patching, or learn how to ‘drop down’ to the built-in code editor and live recode components using Processing/Java or OpenGL shaders. It will be led by lead developer, Neil C Smith. Praxis LIVE is cross-platform and open-source.

But open fonts have yet to make gains in document-creation systems beyond web pages: print-on-demand publishing, print-on-demand merchandise, e-readers and EPUB generation, games, and bundled with FOSS applications. This talk will look at the obstacles, bottlenecks, and disconnects behind this situation and explain what needs to happen next in order to move forward.</p></div><div class="slot"><span class="time">18:30</span><h5 class="people">Dave Crossland <span class="country">us</span></h5><p class="name">Libre Variable Fonts</p><p class="description">In September 2016 Microsoft updated the publicly documented OpenType font format specification with new ‘variable font’ abilities. Now users can provide for. Throughout 2017, libre software libraries (fonttools, freetype) and browsers (Chromium, Firefox) led the way in creating and displaying variable fonts. This session presents the user benefits of some pioneering libre variable font projects (available to download today) and ideas for supporting the new format in libre graphics applications.</p></div><div class="slot"><span class="time">19:00</span><p class="name">Lightning talks</p><p class="description">A lightning talk is a very short presentation lasting only a few minutes.

This narrative reflection applied to free software raises new intersecting ways in the future that in turn make us rethink what the current one is like. The workshop will not be considered as a blank page but we will use dynamics so that we can collectively create these stories/narratives, taking advantage of the fact that LGM knows different tools and realities of free software.</p></div><div class="slot"><span class="time">10:30—12:30</span><h5 class="people">Rodrigo Velasco <span class="country">mx</span></h5><p class="name">Synaesthetic Live Coding</p><p class="description">This workshop is an invitation to create visual and sound rhythmic correspondences through live coding audio-reactive visuals.

A visual form can be assigned to each letter on the computer keyboard and then is possible to live code such letters modifying their behaviour through writing patterns.</p></div><div class="slot"><span class="time">12:30—14:30</span><h5 class="people">Jon Nordby <span class="country">no</span></h5><p class="name">Plotting openly</p><p class="description">Before the ubiquity of inkjet printers and mobile devices, the pen-plotter was a common way to physically realize and share a digital drawing. Today the plotter remains one of the simplest example of a computer-controlled fabrication device, perfect for learning the basics of digital fabrication. Join us to learn how these machines work, how to control it using open software and make them output your drawings! We will provide some plotters based on the TapeCore open hardware project. The machines are designed to be easily replicated in a local makerspace/fablab, so that you can build your own.
