2017 LGM/Rio "State of the Libre Graphics"

Hi all!

I just wanted to give a heads up to the projects that the annual Libre Graphics Meeting is occurring in just a few weeks.

Every year the meeting is kicked off with a high-level overview presentation on the state of various projects throughout the community. I’m going to get some slides together on the PIXLS community in general, but the individual projects may want to put together a couple of slides of their own to highlight the work they’ve done over the past year!

The presentation will be given by GIMPer Simon Budig, and he writes on the CREATE list:

I’ll be hosting the “State of Libre Graphics” presentation this year.

This is the update from the many software, curation publication and
umbrella projects of our Libre Graphics community.

For each project we want a title slide and one, none, or two content
slides. The title slides should/could contain name of project, logo and
perhaps a brief tag-line for/description of the project. The content
slides should be about changes in the last year; as well as perhaps
plans for the near future, it is good if the slides are a mostly visual;
with speaker notes with context for what to to say with the slides.

Naming of files:

projectname-0.png (or .jpg)
projectname-1.png
projectname-2.png
projectname.txt

The graphics files should be 1920x1080 – if they are not; they will be
resized to fit. Feel free to bundle the files all in a tarball or
zipfile, and send them as an attachment to simon@gimp.org in an email
with ‘State of Libre Graphics’ as part of the subject.

For projects focused on video/animation; an up to 100second
video/animation with audio would be welcome instead of slides 1 and 2.
If this option is taken, upload the video somewhere and provide an URL
for fetching it. As I am not 100% sure if I can present them in a
somewhat seamless manner I’d appreciate if you could prepare some slides
as well as a fallback solution.

Content should be submitted by Wednesday the 14th of April, a week
before LGM.

If anyone needs a hand please just let me know and I’ll do my best to help out! I’ll also be reporting on the community - so if there’s something you feel I should include with that presentation just let me know below! :smiley:

Also, don’t forget that we have a git repo of our past presentations in case you want to grab any assets from them here:
