State of LibreGraphics 2026

Hello!

I’m back from last year, and I am organizing the State Libre Graphics presentation again. This is an opening presentation at the LibreGraphics Meeting conference (LGM) about the updates from the many softwares, curations, publications and umbrella projects of the Libre Graphics community. I would love to be able to include as many projects that the pixls.us forum (including pixls.us itself as a community too) harbors. It’s always a struggle to get in contact with projects, and I found some that only seemed to be able to be reached out here, so please let anyone know who might be interested in submitting.

The submission git repository and instructions is located here. Basically, we’re just looking for a description, what cool things the project’s team has been up to this year, and anything cool to look forward to in the future! Bonus points, I thought might be fun if the slides for a given software/project were created using that software/project. Apologies for the short turnaround, the deadline is April 15th, although we appreciate submissions before April 1st. If anyone needs help with that, such as creating slides, please feel free to let me know.

And yeah, hope to see meet some people there!

Have you reached out to the digikam people as well? I think they are not here.

Well unfortunately I dont have time for this this year. Maybe we can try to discuss the main content here, together.

From what I see, there are only a few main things:

In darktable we have agx, another new local contrast module is being developed right now, and the work to port to gtk4 has begun.

Then there is agx emulsion, which consists of three parts: the python prototype, and the implementations in art and vkdt.

We might also mention that the wayland color management protocol has been fully implemented in chrome/chromium. But my little python image viewer based on chromium is probably not worth to mention.

Please add your ideas here, if you think that there are more important things to mention.

I would really do this, but this year the dates are really not good, I will be on holidays in Florida until the end of march, then on April 10/11 there is the Grazer Linux Tage, and after that there is not enough time until LGM, is there?

Would it be a strategy to add a few thoughts here and then let the slides be created by gemini or so (and check it by a human)?

I have not, I don’t know where to reach them apart from here. If you have their contact info, I’m happy to do so!

Sure? Although if people leave enough content here (like basically writing the Markdown file in the submission, which includes all the text about changelog and roadmap for a project), and have a few screenshots (mostly just needed if it’s for roadmap things in development, things that already exist I can make screenshots myself I guess), then I don’t mind to assemble the content and images together into two slides.

I just can’t go and try and figure out what to write for the changelog highlights and roadmaps for each project, there’s too many for me to handle (the list of projects to contact this year is a little a over 100 projects), so I do need like a definitive text to use containing the information.

I guess some pretty good examples of text if folks need something to go off on from last year:

And here’s the sample-project I wrote for this year.

Hope that helps!

Well unfortunately nobody seems to (want to) see this thread.

They are on kde. The. Development is there. Plus there is a reddit group and two mailing liste but its all on the website.
