2017-06-08 21:00:13<schumaml> moin
2017-06-08 21:04:34<a-l-e---> i'd like to to talk about the lgm 2018...

2017-06-08 21:09:04* gingercoons (~ginger@2.148.103.42.tmi.telenormobil.no) has joined
2017-06-08 21:09:53<pippin> a-l-e---: lgm 2018 is indeed probably our primary concern
2017-06-08 21:13:26<a-l-e---> ok, no other topics
2017-06-08 21:14:11<a-l-e---> i could have a suggestion for 2018...
2017-06-08 21:14:27<a-l-e---> does anybody else want to propose something?
2017-06-08 21:16:01<a-l-e---> btw, we already have a website for 2018... http://libregraphicsmeeting.org/2018/
2017-06-08 21:16:02<mrscribe> Title: Libre Graphics Meeting Place Date 2018 (at libregraphicsmeeting.org)
2017-06-08 21:16:09<a-l-e---> :-)
2017-06-08 21:16:17<gingercoons> yay :)
2017-06-08 21:17:48* ___colm has quit (Quit: ___colm)
2017-06-08 21:24:12<a-l-e---> ok, i see that there is much interest.
2017-06-08 21:24:18<a-l-e---> should be discuss a date for the next meeting?
2017-06-08 21:27:06<pippin> a-l-e---: what is your 2018 suggestion?
2017-06-08 21:29:22<a-l-e---> an lgm focused on people who already contribute to lgm projects in the "center" of west europe.
2017-06-08 21:30:10<a-l-e---> i wanted to propose that i could try to contact some possible locations in basel.
2017-06-08 21:31:36<pippin> it would be a pity to not have an lgm in 2018.. so checking potential in various cities of europe starting with B.. would be good
2017-06-08 21:35:47<a-l-e---> if somebody is ready to organise it in another B town i'll let it.
2017-06-08 21:36:02<a-l-e---> if nobody proposes something i can try to setup something.
2017-06-08 21:36:47<ankh> any offers are good offers right now
2017-06-08 21:36:59* gingercoons has quit (Read error: Connection timed out)
2017-06-08 21:37:05<ankh> and i agree that involving active contributors is essential if the meeting is to have any meaning
2017-06-08 21:40:59* nomis waves - sorry, I got locked up in a different event...
2017-06-08 21:44:32<a-l-e---> ok, i'll write an email to the mailing list.
2017-06-08 21:45:17<a-l-e---> asking if somebody volunteers for organizing an lgm 2018 in an european B. town...
2017-06-08 21:45:49<a-l-e---> and that if nobody else shows up, i could try with the closes B. town to my place.
2017-06-08 21:46:31<pippin> good, there is many B towns that could be nice, Basel being an inteesting one :)
2017-06-08 21:46:49<nomis> (what is a B. town?)
2017-06-08 21:46:55<pippin> perhaps we should ajourn the meeting 15min early?
2017-06-08 21:47:19<pippin> nomis: barcelona, brussels, berlin, bern, bilbao, bergen :p
2017-06-08 21:47:37<nomis> ah :)

2017-06-08 22:06:08* tobias__ has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
2017-06-08 22:11:41<boud> Sorry to butt in... And I know I haven't been to lgm for ages. But do I understand that there's no candidate to host?
2017-06-08 22:14:21<a-l-e---> exactly, currently there is no candidate. but three candidates for the years after 2018.
2017-06-08 22:14:32<boud> okay. I have been doing the rounds of people interested in animation, showing them free software, in the Netherlands. Breda, den Bosch, Amsterdam -- some of them planning festivals. Should I try to contact them and tell them about LGM?
2017-06-08 22:14:34<boud> and see whether stuff happens...
2017-06-08 22:14:53<a-l-e---> well, of course!
2017-06-08 22:15:05<boud> it's always fun to arrive at some place to do a lecture, and see a student working with ones application, fully focused
2017-06-08 22:15:07<a-l-e---> most of all Breada and den bosch would meet the B. criterium
2017-06-08 22:15:31<boud> okay -- then I'll get in touch with those people and check whether LGM ticks boxes and pushes buttons
2017-06-08 22:16:11<boud> probably all of them are at the cote d'azur right now, but they'll read their mail, I guess
2017-06-08 22:16:37<boud> are the dates fixed yes?
2017-06-08 22:16:42<boud> yet,. I mean
2017-06-08 22:16:44<boud> !@$%

2017-06-08 22:17:32<a-l-e---> i guess that sticking to spring could make things easier.
2017-06-08 22:17:57<boud> right, march, april, may?
2017-06-08 22:18:10<boud> I'm really out of the loop...
2017-06-08 22:18:11<a-l-e---> yes.
2017-06-08 22:18:22<boud> right
2017-06-08 22:21:25<boud> okay, I'll try to get in touch, and see what happens. It's the south netherlands art academy that invited me to do a workshop, and the teachers were very interested.
2017-06-08 22:22:25<a-l-e---> boud, i'll see how the mailing list reacts to my mail and if there is any meaningful feedback, i will tell you how much time you have for the research :-)
2017-06-08 22:22:38<boud> ok
2017-06-08 22:23:08<boud> the create mailing list, or is there a new one, these days
2017-06-08 22:23:18<a-l-e---> the lgm mailing list.
2017-06-08 22:23:40<a-l-e---> https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libre-graphics-meeting
2017-06-08 22:24:53<boud> okay
2017-06-08 22:28:11<boud> something laid-back focusing on the project contributors sounds good to me, though... I rather missed that the last time I attended.

2017-06-08 22:34:23<a-l-e---> well, personally i like both kind of LGMs... but i don't have the resources for planning a shiny extroverted lgm...
2017-06-08 22:35:46<boud> sure -- me too. but... for me, I'd like a balance
2017-06-08 22:46:00<a-l-e---> good night!
2017-06-08 22:46:51<boud> a-l-e---: bonne nuit
