Help Keep LGM Free for Developers and Artists<br>
<br>
Your contribution can help make Libre Graphics Meeting 2011 (LGM) a<br>
success! All funds donated by the community to the LGM 2011 Pledgie<br>
campaign go directly towards providing travel reimbursement to the<br>
developers of free graphics applications like GIMP, Inkscape, Scribus,<br>
Open Font Library, and MyPaint, and to the artists that use these apps<br>
to create their work.<br>
<br>
Libre Graphics Meeting is an invaluable meeting ground for developers<br>
and end users because it brings them together face to face.<br>
Underwriting travel costs is essential to LGM&#39;s success, as many open<br>
source developers and independent artists and designers cannot count<br>
on employer-provided travel. LGM has been free of charge since the<br>
very beginning -- but as the open source community continues to<br>
expand, the economy getting tougher, attendance keeps increasing, and<br>
the need for LGM support is greater than ever.<br>
<br>
Your support is vital for the continued success of LGM, whether you<br>
are a developer, an attendee, or simply a fan of free graphics<br>
software. Click here to make a donation:<br>

<br>
No matter what the size of your individual donation, you can also help<br>
us spread the word: add the LGM Pledge button to your site, and blog<br>
about the event to raise awareness.<br>
<br>
For larger organizations and companies, we have platinum, gold,<br>
silver, bronze and copper levels of sponsorship which give you<br>
attention and eyeballs on your company and products for supporting<br>
this amazing group of thought leaders in creative and design<br>
industries: <a href="http://libregraphicsmeeting.org/2011/sponsors" target="_blank">http://libregraphicsmeeting.org/2011/sponsors</a>.<br>

About Libre Graphics Meeting 2011 in Montreal<br>
<br>
May 10-13, École Polytechnique Engineering School<br>
<br>
Programmers and artists from around the world are headed to Montreal<br>
for the 6th annual Libre Graphics Meeting in May. The Libre Graphics<br>
Meeting is an annual gathering for the users and developers of free<br>
and open source creative software: artistic tools that are free for<br>
anyone to use and modify. LGM gives software developers, artists,<br>
musicians, designers and other creative professionals the opportunity<br>
to collaborate, share their work and learn from each other.<br>
<br>
The Libre Graphics Meeting exists to unite and accelerate the efforts<br>
behind Free, Libre and Open Source creative software. Organised by<br>
volunteers from the international Libre Graphics Community since 2006,<br>
this annual meeting is the premiere conference for developers, users<br>
and supporters of projects such as GIMP, Inkscape, Blender, Krita,<br>
Scribus, Hugin, the Open Clipart Library, and the Open Font Library.<br>
At LGM, teams gather to work on interoperability, shared standards,<br>
and new ideas. Work at prior LGMs has pushed the state of the art in<br>
important areas such as color management, cross-application sharing of<br>
assets, and common formats.<br>
