Fwd: LGM Hackfest in Rennes, France
by Maren Hachmann 22 Feb '20

22 Feb '20

Forwarding an invitation from Marc: ----------------------------------- Hi everyone, we will likely have our next hackfest in Rennes, France, just before LGM in May. LGM is May 26-29 and it's likely the hackfest will last for a few days before it (last hackfests lasted from 3 to 5 days). All contributors* are welcome and encouraged to attend the hackfest! Financial support will be available, but please sign up in advance (either by answering to this email, or by adding yourself on https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php?title=Hackfest2020_Rennes_Attendees ), to account for possible limited hosting capacity and to allow expense (and logistics) planning. I hope to see lots of you there -- Marc (* not just code, a hackfest can be a productive time to write a tutorial, discuss some UX, progress on a translation, or coordinate some media outreach, for instance!)

LGM: About two weeks left for entering your talk/workshop submission!

Hi everyone, this is a reminder that you can still submit a proposal for a talk, lightning talk, hackathon, Birds-of-a-feather meeting or workshop for this year's Libre Graphics Meeting. LGM will take place in Rennes (Brittany, France) from May 26-29 2020. The deadline for your submissions is February 17th. More info about your submissions: https://libregraphicsmeeting.org/2020/en/program.html Info about the venues: https://libregraphicsmeeting.org/2020/en/venue.html The main focus of this year's event is 'Getting Things Done'. The organizers explain that this "means explaining how you manage to attract more contributors, how you manage the tasks of development, fixing bugs, the general directions that you want to take your project, and how you interact to accomplish this. You might even talk about ideas you have but have not yet implemented. Part of Getting Things Done means sharing ideas and methods with each other and with artists." They are looking for: " * Presentations attracting new contributors to projects * Information about how your project "gets things done" * Productive workshops to improve and extend software * Technical presentations and workshops for developers * Showcases of excellent work made using Libre Graphics tools " There's also an Inkscape Hackfest planned to take place either during, before or after LGM, so stay tuned ;-) Maren
