  <title>LGM begins in a few days... </title>
  <link>http://libregraphicsmeeting.org/2012/2012/04/press-release-2-lgm-begins-in-a-few-days/</link>
  <guid>http://libregraphicsmeeting.org/2012/2012/04/press-release-2-lgm-begins-in-a-few-days/</guid>
  <description><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;There are only a few days until the 7th edition of LGM begins. We can proudly announce the talks schedule at this time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As it does every year, the Libre Graphics Meeting focuses on individual and group interaction with an emphasis towards free media and the free software that produces it. This year, the program for Libre Graphics Meeting contains a lot of talks about new developments in the world of free graphics and design software. The schedule for the talks contains more then 40 talks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;embed-vimeo&quot; style=&quot;text-align:center;&quot;&gt;&lt;iframe src=&quot;http://player.vimeo.com/video/41010684&quot; width=&quot;540&quot; height=&quot;304&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The talks are not the only points in the program of Libre Graphics Meeting. Every day there are hacking sessions, meetings, and workshops planned as well. LGM's strength comes from the presenters who talk about their work and inspire others by sharing their experiences, techniques, and best practices.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you are interested in the program, you can find it &lt;a href=&quot;http://libregraphicsmeeting.org/2012/program/&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The 7th edition of the Libre Graphics Meeting will help bring the development of free graphic software forward in LGM tradition. Whether you are a developer, an artist, or an enthusiast, you can be a part of this year's event. If you decide to visit the 7th Libre Graphics Meeting, you can register &lt;a href=&quot;http://libregraphicsmeeting.org/2012/registration/&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. There is no entrance fee and it's not too late to participate with an Lightning Talk or a BoF-session.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Libre Graphics Meeting needs still the support with the travelling costs for speakers, however. There is a &lt;a href=&quot;http://pledgie.com/campaigns/16614&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;Pledgie campaign&lt;/a&gt; for gathering the money that we still need. So if you are a user of tools like Scribus, GIMP, Inkscape, or any of the many other projects that are participating in LGM, making a pledge is a great way to say 'Thank You' to the developers of the tools you use.&lt;/p&gt; ]]></description>

  <title>RElease Social Markiting: Fabricatorz 2.0, Aiki Framework 0.9.0, and Open Clip Art Library 3.1 </title>
  <link>http://rejon.org/2012/02/release-social-markiting-fabricatorz-2-0-aiki-framework-0-9-0-and-open-clip-art-library-3-1/</link>

  <description><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;The sound of silence is truly the sound of getting tons of work getting done and building &lt;a href=&quot;http://fabricatorz.com/&quot;&gt;Fabricatorz&lt;/a&gt;. I grounded myself December 1 of last year. I&amp;#8217;ve been on lockdown cranking with the otherZ on many client projects, the new Fabricatorz website, and spending most of my time in &lt;a href=&quot;/tag/beijing&quot;&gt;Beijing&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fabricatorz 2.0 Website&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Check out the new &lt;a href=&quot;http://fabricatorz.com/&quot;&gt;Fabricatorz&lt;/a&gt;! It shows one of the strengths of &lt;a href=&quot;http://aikilab.com/&quot;&gt;Aiki Framework&lt;/a&gt;, to use old databases. What you see at Fabricatorz website is aiki-powered. We are keeping the WordPress admin interface for posting right now. Over time, we will slowly remove the lobotomized WordPress, but for now, the site is running nice and fast!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Aiki Framework 0.9.0.1&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://fabricatorz.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/aiki-login-signin.png&quot; rel=&quot;lightbox[2522]&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://fabricatorz.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/aiki-login-signin-500x327.png&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;aiki-login-signin&quot; width=&quot;500&quot; height=&quot;327&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-medium wp-image-4096&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Open Clip Art Library 3.1&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;noBkgd&quot; href=&quot;http://openclipart.org/detail/167542/abstract-landscape-by-viscious-speed&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Abstract Landscape&quot; src=&quot;http://openclipart.org/image/500px/svg_to_png/167542/Abstract_Landscape.png&quot; title=&quot;Abstract Landscape by Viscious-Speed (/user-detail/Viscious-Speed)&quot; width=&quot;480&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Has it really been a year since we made an official Open Clip Art Library release? We finally moved the site off of community hosting servers because it has become a big site to maintain and needs lots of ongoing love and features. Check out the &lt;a href=&quot;http://fabricatorz.com/2012/02/come-draw-with-us-open-clip-art-library-3-1-released/&quot;&gt;new Open Clip Art Library features&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Our new favoriting system&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A better landing page including more main page features and the most popular clipart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://openclipart.org/collections&quot;&gt;Collections&lt;/a&gt; have been improved&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Our server has been moved to a big &lt;a href=&quot;http://linode.com/&quot;&gt;linode&lt;/a&gt; box, thanks to gandi.net for supporting our development&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;We added &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flamingtext.com/imagebot/&quot;&gt;imagebot image editing&lt;/a&gt; to each clipart page simpy click the &amp;#8220;Edit Image&amp;#8221; button on a &lt;a class=&quot;noBkgd&quot; href=&quot;http://openclipart.org/detail/167542/abstract-landscape-by-viscious-speed&quot;&gt;Clip Art detail page&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Now you can set the resolution of the raster art you desire to download by entering a number into the white box on a Clip Art detail page and by pressing the orange  button. You can copy the link in that box and use it as HTML anywhere on the web.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And, More Soon&amp;#8230;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We have a big launch planned for another project in late March here in Beijing, and many many client projects at 99% that are about to be launched at Fabricatorz. I&amp;#8217;m still pushing hard on all four of my projects: &lt;a href=&quot;http://fabricatorz.com/&quot;&gt;çŽ‹&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://sharism.org/&quot;&gt;âœ³&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://aikilab.com/&quot;&gt;çˆ»&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://qi-hardware.com/&quot;&gt;æ°”&lt;/a&gt;. For 2012, I&amp;#8217;m moving my social mark&amp;#8221;i&amp;#8221;ting to sites I control and you will see less biz talk here and more of those ole&amp;#8217; fashioned @rejon type hash taggings. This year is about less hype, no conferences, and more production. Don&amp;#8217;t forget, if you are coming through Beijing, looking for a tactical creative a-team for hire, or want to buy a milkymist: email &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:jon@fabricatorz.com&quot;&gt;jon@fabricatorz.com&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt; ]]></description>

&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;ve been laying low, and now its time to bust out! I&amp;#8217;m on my way to Porto Alegre, Brazil for &lt;a href=&quot;http://softwarelivre.org/fisl12&quot;&gt;FISL12&lt;/a&gt; where I started off giving one presentation about &lt;a href=&quot;http://qi-hardware.com/&quot;&gt;Qi Hardware&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://fabricatorz.com/&quot;&gt;Fabricatorz&lt;/a&gt; and the upcoming &lt;a href=&quot;http://milkymist.org/&quot;&gt;Milkymist One, the video synthesizer (that is open hardware)&lt;/a&gt;. And, now I&amp;#8217;m going to be on an Open Education Roundtable (OERealidid) with Bianca Santana and Carolina Rossini, where I will discuss AcaWiki&amp;#8217;s drive to gather the world&amp;#8217;s academic paper summaries. Then I&amp;#8217;ll be rounding out my time with a final talk about Fabricatorz building Open Clip Art Library and Open Font Library with &lt;a href=&quot;http://aikiframework.org/&quot;&gt;Aiki Framework&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I look forward to seeing my Brazilian friends, international friends, and meeting new people, like you at the best Free Software conference, FISL!

  <title>Launching the Open Font Library and Freeing Fonts </title>
  <link>http://fabricatorz.com/2011/05/launching-the-open-font-library-and-freeing-fonts/</link>
  <guid>http://fabricatorz.com/2011/05/launching-the-open-font-library-and-freeing-fonts/</guid>
  <description><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://fabricatorz.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Screenshot-oflb.png&quot; rel=&quot;lightbox[2458]&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://fabricatorz.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Screenshot-oflb-500x375.png&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;Screenshot-oflb&quot; width=&quot;500&quot; height=&quot;375&quot; class=&quot;alignnone size-medium wp-image-2459&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Montreal, May 12, 2011&lt;/em&gt; &amp;#8211; At the 6th Libre Graphics Meeting 2011 in Montreal, the Open Font Library, the Open Font Library community and Fabricatorz launch an online library of fonts that all type designers and font enthusiasts may participate in. The goal of the Open Font Library is to offer great fonts, help designers share their work, accelerate the usage of the @font-face tag available in modern web browsers, and to help educate everyone about how to design and use fonts.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Font Library website is under active development, with the mission to bring online a veritable library of fonts to be made available under free licenses, including the SIL Open Font License, Creative Commons Zero license, and the GPLv3 with font exception license.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fabricatorz developer Christopher Adams led the development of the site on the company&amp;#8217;s Aiki Framework. &amp;#8220;Today marks a crucial milestone in the lifetime of the Open Font Library, from its initial conception in 2006 to its finalized public release in 2011,&amp;#8221; said Adams. &amp;#8220;Our goal for the Font Library is not only to assemble a large collection of fonts, but to highlight quality free fonts and help others get involved in making this the best public library of fonts.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Open Font Library received sponsorship and direction from Dave Crossland and the Google Fonts team. Other major contributors to the project include Alexandre Prokoudine, Ben Weiner, Ed Trager, Eric Schrijver, James Weiner, Jon Phillips, Nicolas Spalinger, and Robert Martinez, who developed the Open Font Library logo. Initial patrons to the project include River Valley Technologies, TeX Users Group and Yes Logic. The Font Library has also benefited tremendously from input by participants at the Libre Graphics Meeting 2011.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Open Font Librarians and the Fabricatorz, the global open production company, are actively seeking sponsorship and contracts to support the development of the Open Font Library towards a 1.0 release by the end of 2011. With sponsorship, there are active plans to integrate version control support for fonts on the site, allow for direct editing of fonts on the site, identify incomplete font designs and actively provide solutions, and integrate social web features into the project. More advanced features like API support for uploading and downloading fonts become possible for each additional patron who offers their support.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The Fabricatorz stand ready to help build the world&amp;#8217;s largest collection of fonts,&amp;#8221; said Fabricatorz and Open Clip Art Library founder, Jon Phillips. With your support, use of the Library&amp;#8217;s fonts, and spreading the news of the project, the Open Font LIbrary is certain to reach this goal.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About Open Font Library&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The mission of the Open Font Library (&lt;a href=&quot;http://openfontlibrary.org&quot;&gt;http://openfontlibrary.org&lt;/a&gt;) is to promote your freedom as it relates to fonts. All of the typefaces contained in the library are available under a free license, which gives you the freedom to use, study, remix and share each and every font. The site is powered by the Aiki Framework (&lt;a href=&quot;http://aikiframework.org&quot;&gt;http://aikiframework.org&lt;/a&gt;), a powerful web framework for building network services using the AGPL license.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About Fabricatorz&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Fabricatorz (&lt;a href=&quot;http://fabricatorz.com&quot;&gt;http://fabricatorz.com&lt;/a&gt;) is a &amp;#8220;open&amp;#8221; production company that makes successful  projects from start to finish, including development and community  management. We specialize in Free and Open Source Software, Creative Commons technology,  growing on-line and off-line communities in San Francisco, China and  the Arab World. Our core focus is in developing software using Aiki  Framework, hardware using Qi Hardware, and community-building around the  philosophies of Sharism.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Montreal, May 12, 2011 – Today at the 6th Libre Graphics Meeting 2011 in Montreal, the Open Clip Art Library along with its commercial stewards, the Fabricatorz, have launched the biggest, most featureful version of everyone&amp;#8217;s favorite public domain library of clip art, a collection that is free to use for any reason. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lead developer of Open Clip Art Library and Fabricatorz Developer, Brad Phillips said, &amp;#8220;This is our biggest release ever! We have fixed loads of bugs, and Fabricatorz have been leading an effort to create a traditional favorites system so all clip art may be rated by any artist. We have been actively working to close bugs and implement feature requests.&amp;#8221; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Additional features include a new sorting category, displaying on the main page, that takes advantage of the new favorites system by listing clip art according to most popular. There is now enhanced profile management capabilities and also an ability to list links to a user&amp;#8217;s different profiles. There are 50+ bug fixes on this 3.0 release that make the entire project work smoothly. And, now its easy to generate bitmap images on-demand, thanks to the contribution from user boobaloo from the project. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A major feature added in this release is the batch management action bar. This tool allows for librarians to add or delete clip art searches and tags. For normal artists (users) it allows for the ability to add to and remove clip art from collections. Collections is a feature from the last release so that themed sets of clip art are combined by someone. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As has come to be expected in recent Releases, a brand new Package of themed clip art is out. Open Clip Art Library 3.0&amp;#8242;s theme is &amp;#8216;Famous People&amp;#8217;, and the package contains dozens of newly created graphics for all uses, many of which have been contributed by attendees of workshops at LGM 2011. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For all users and services using the Open Clip Art Library, Fabricatorz is a commercial production company that actively adds features to the Open Clip Art Library. Fabricatorz founder, Jon Phillips states, “The Fabricatorz stand ready to add desired features like a Request System, an Artist Donation System, and a Showcase section on the site. For any businesses, services or benefactors that are interested in these features, we want to work with you to realize new features on the project.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3.0 Highlights &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;* Favorites system sprinkled throughout the site&lt;br /&gt;
* Most popular category on the main page&lt;br /&gt;
* Users can add multiple links to their profiles&lt;br /&gt;

  <description><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.openclipart.org/detail/132451&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.openclipart.org/image/480px/svg_to_png/doudou3.png&quot; alt=&quot;Doudou Linux Submission by Chrisdesign&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Over at &lt;a href=&quot;http://openclipart.org&quot;&gt;Open Clip Art Library&lt;/a&gt;, there is a steady march of development by Fabricatorz &lt;a href=&quot;/about&quot;&gt;Brad and Jon&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://ktulhuntu.blogspot.com/2011/04/doudoulinux-logo-and-mascot-contest.html&quot;&gt;Boobaloo&lt;/a&gt; is helping move things forward, and the &lt;a href=&quot;http://openclipart.org/about&quot;&gt;chat channel&lt;/a&gt; is springing forward. Also, looking at the numbers there now 83,113 artists on Open Clip Art Library, and 1,186 added this month so far! Please &lt;a href=&quot;http://openclipart.org/upload&quot;&gt;join us upload clip art&lt;/a&gt; and let&amp;#8217;s grow this number! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Developers&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We need you! Helping with the project is a great way to learn about open source software development. At the upcoming &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.libregraphicsmeeting.org/2011/&quot;&gt;Libre Graphics Meeting 2011 in Montreal May 10-13, 2011&lt;/a&gt;, we will be launching &lt;a href=&quot;https://launchpad.net/openclipart/+milestone/3.0&quot;&gt;Open Clip Art Library 3.0&lt;/a&gt;. Join us and be part of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://launchpad.net/openclipart/+milestone/3.0&quot;&gt;announcement&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Doudou Linux Logo Competition&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Head librarian Boobaloo worked with the &lt;a href=&quot;http://ktulhuntu.blogspot.com/2011/04/doudoulinux-logo-and-mascot-contest.html&quot;&gt;Doudou Linux project to launch a logo competition&lt;/a&gt; to come up with the project&amp;#8217;s new identity. There are already several submissions. Its a great way to be discovered.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://ktulhuntu.blogspot.com/2011/04/doudoulinux-logo-and-mascot-contest.html&quot;&gt;Boobaloo states&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://doudoulinux.org/&quot;&gt;DoudouLinux&lt;/a&gt; (DDL) is a Linux distro for kids from 2 to 12 yrs old. It is specially designed to make computing easy for children (and their parents too!). Could run without installation from USB or LiveCD. So, if you have kidz &amp;#8211; DoudouLinux made specially for them!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The competition goal is to attract more designers to the project and up the style. Its a good way to get your feet wet with libre graphics and to gain some reputation &lt;img src='http://fabricatorz.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Speaking of which, I noticed that the &lt;a href=&quot;http://freedomboxfoundation.org&quot;&gt;Freedombox&lt;/a&gt; project&amp;#8217;s logo came completely from remixing artwork on the Open Clip Art Library. I like the Freedombox logo, but we think this GNU dressed as Che might be more interesting.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.openclipart.org/detail/14553&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.openclipart.org/image/480px/svg_to_png/tonyk_baby_GNU_Che.png&quot; alt=&quot;GNU dressed like Che&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Famous People Collection&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Brad has been adding features and fixing bugs left and right. The collection functionality he added is getting a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.openclipart.org/collections&quot;&gt;good work out now&lt;/a&gt;. Its getting more attention with this month&amp;#8217;s main activity. Please submit your images and help &lt;a href=&quot;http://openclipart.org/packages-famous-people&quot;&gt;collect images of Famous People&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We need you to &lt;a href=&quot;http://create.freedesktop.org/wiki/Conference_2011/Submit_Talk&quot;&gt;come and speak&lt;/a&gt;. We pay for speakers travel. We need &lt;a href=&quot;http://pledgie.com/campaigns/14610&quot;&gt;people to sponsor the conference&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is one of two conference Fabricatorz and I support each year (the other having to do with Sharism!).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We need you! &lt;a href=&quot;http://fabricatorz.com/contact&quot;&gt;Email us if you have questions&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Cutting edge creative tools meet free culture&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;May 10-13, Ecole Polytechnique Engineering School&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Programmers and artists from around the world are headed to Montreal for the 6th annual Libre Graphics Meeting in May. The Libre Graphics Meeting is an annual gathering for the users and developers of free and open source creative software: artistic tools that are free for anyone to use and modify. LGM gives software developers, artists, musicians, designers and other creative professionals the opportunity to collaborate, share their work and learn from each other.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A Preview&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Every year, Libre Graphics Meeting focuses on individual and group interaction, emphasizing free media and the software that produces it. This year&amp;#8217;s attendees can expect a similar format that will include workshops, presentations, demonstrations, and birds-of-a-feather (BOF) sessions. Leading up to the conference, special lab sessions bring developers and artists face-to-face to make improvements in creative software. Gaps can form when developers and their users don&amp;#8217;t meet face to face; LGM gives artists and educators a voice in the building of their tools. Both content creators and developers will present, bringing a diverse community together to advance the technologies and strategies of high-quality free creative software.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Submit a talk!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;LGM&amp;#8217;s strength comes from the presenters who talk about their work and inspire others by sharing their experiences, techniques, and best practices. Whether you are a developer, an artist, or an enthusiast, you can be a part of this year&amp;#8217;s event by sharing your story and your work.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The LGM community wants to hear your proposal for a session. Submit your idea any time between now and April 1, 2011 by visiting &lt;a href=&quot;http://create.freedesktop.org/wiki/Conference_2011/Submit_Talk&quot;&gt;http://create.freedesktop.org/wiki/Conference_2011/Submit_Talk&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; ]]></description>

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Help keep LGM free&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Libre Graphics Meeting is an invaluable meeting ground for industry leaders and end users alike. It has also been free of charge since the very beginning &amp;#8212; but as the open source community continues to expand, attendance keeps increasing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Your support is a vital means for the continued success of LGM, whether you are a readers, an attendee, or simply a fan of free graphics software.  Click here to make a donation: http://pledgie.com/campaigns/14610&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Highlights from LGM 2010&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Last year&amp;#8217;s Libre Graphics Meeting, the fifth since the project&amp;#8217;s inception, took place in Brussels and was highlighted by important work on open color management systems and data interchange formats. The vector graphics standard file format, SVG, headlined many of the the discussions and interaction that took place, as it has become an integral element in communicating freely created content through websites and printed pieces. All major projects represented at LGM 2010 &amp;#8212; Scribus, Gimp, Inkscape, and Open Font Library &amp;#8212; spent time planning activities for the months and years ahead. Other hot topics in presentations and discussions included Blender, Krita, Open Web Graphics and Services, Python, Rawstudio, and many more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Continuing with the success of recent LGM incarnations, more attention was given to the rising numbers of professional graphics users and youth attendees. In fact, of the 51 sessions held during the 4 day extravaganza, 20 were given by creative professionals. Specific workshops were organized to engage students from art and design schools around the world. [http://lwn.net/Articles/390572/ Nathan Willis] writes of one such event:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8221;Denis Jacquerye, widely known from his work with the DejaVu fonts, discussed font design and features for African languages, encouraging the community to build more such fonts.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Libre Graphics Meeting&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Libre Graphics Meeting exists to unite and accelerate the efforts behind Free, Libre and Open Source creative software. Organised by volunteers from the international Libre Graphics Community since 2006, this annual meeting is the premiere conference for developers, users and supporters of projects such as GIMP (http://www.gimp.org/),  Inkscape (http://www.inkscape.org/), Blender (http://www.blender.org/), Krita (http://koffice.org/krita/), Scribus (http://www.scribus.net/), Hugin (http://hugin.sourceforge.net/), the Open Clipart Library (http://www.openclipart.org/), and the Open Font Library (http://www.openfontlibrary.org/). At LGM, teams gather to work on interoperability, shared standards, and new ideas. Work at prior LGMs has pushed the state of the art in important areas such as color management, cross-application sharing of assets, and common formats.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>The Original App Store. Over 40K! </title>
  <link>http://rejon.org/2011/03/the-original-app-store-over-40k/</link>
  <guid>http://rejon.org/2011/03/the-original-app-store-over-40k/</guid>
  <description><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/jonphillips/5487978682/&quot; title=&quot;Original app store by rejon, on Flickr&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5253/5487978682_72ec94e75c.jpg&quot; width=&quot;500&quot; height=&quot;375&quot; alt=&quot;Original app store&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This used to be the junk bin! Now, its the quick n easy bin. Shareware, Freeware, and cheap apps &amp;mdash; the industry goes through cycles is what I&amp;#8217;m reminded. Oh, did get your Appletite fed? Did you eat enough forbidden fruit today?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://openclipart.org/&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;/media/2011/03/Screenshot-ocal.png&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; title=&quot;Open Clip Art Library past 40K&quot; width=&quot;500&quot;  class=&quot;alignleft size-medium wp-image-2390&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Its funny to still work on when I can, the Open Clip Art Library. Those 1 million clip art collections and others crack me up. With great honor and little news, the &lt;a href=&quot;http://openclipart.org/&quot;&gt;Open Clip Art Library&lt;/a&gt; just passed 40,000 pieces of scalable graphics! Hats off to all who work on one of the first free network services. More are &lt;a href=&quot;http://aikiframework.org/&quot;&gt;coming&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/p&gt; ]]></description>

  <title>Open Clip Art Library 2.9 is Alive! </title>
  <link>http://rejon.org/2011/02/open-clip-art-library-2-9-is-alive/</link>
  <guid>http://rejon.org/2011/02/open-clip-art-library-2-9-is-alive/</guid>
  <description><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://fabricatorz.com/&quot;&gt;Fabricatorz&lt;/a&gt; just announced the release of &lt;a href=&quot;http://fabricatorz.com/2011/02/open-clip-art-library-version-2-9-hits-the-web/&quot;&gt;Open Clip Art Library 2.9&lt;/a&gt;. Nearing 40K high quality images, keeping &lt;a href=&quot;http://aikiframework.org/&quot;&gt;Aiki Framework&lt;/a&gt; development purring along, and making loads of contributions to the public domain globally, the &lt;a href=&quot;https://launchpad.net/openclipart/+milestone/2.9&quot;&gt;launchpad release shows the realitivity&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.openclipart.org/detail/56905&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.openclipart.org/image/480px/svg_to_png/1243660428263.png&quot; alt=&quot;Announcing OCAL 2.9 bamboo scaffolding in caochangdi&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;small&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.openclipart.org/detail/56905&quot;&gt;Bamboo Scaffolding&lt;/a&gt; in Caochangdi, Beijing, China by me!&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;From the announcement, Open Clip Art Library community is really working hard now and pushing out lots of features and bug fixes:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;
Kicking things off, a &lt;a href=&quot;https://bugs.launchpad.net/openclipart/+bug/530427&quot;&gt;long-standing bug&lt;/a&gt; has been fixed in a major way.  One of OCAL&amp;#8217;s leading contributors, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.openclipart.org/user-detail/johnny_automatic&quot;&gt;johnny_automatic&lt;/a&gt;, has gone through a gigantic list of clip art that had been previously not been connected to the site in transition from Open Clip Art lIbrary&amp;#8217;s upgrade to 2.0, last spring and brought all of it back to life.  As a result, OCAL&amp;#8217;s collection has been fully restored to it&amp;#8217;s original glory and the current &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.openclipart.org/participate&quot;&gt;Clip Art Tally&lt;/a&gt; stands at nearly 40,000 images!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Join us as a &lt;a href=&quot;http://openclipart.org/librarians&quot;&gt;librarian&lt;/a&gt;. We need you!&lt;/p&gt; ]]></description>
