Hi!

http://libregraphicsmeeting.org/2014/?p=199

The Call for Participation has now been published!

For this year we are especially interested in presentations that
showcase how the gap between technical and design development can be
bridged.

We are looking for:

In-depth presentations on Libre Graphics technologies
Showcases of excellent work made using Libre Graphics tools
New projects in this area to meet the wider community
Reports, use-cases, best practices
New emerging media; breaking free from analog constraints
Well articulated ideas for future approaches, tools and standards

Available formats are:

Lightning talk (10 minutes, selected at the event unconference style)
Presentations (20 minutes extendable to 40 minutes)
Entry for State of the Libre Graphics Union (1-2 slides)
Workshops (2 hours or more)
Birds Of a Feather (BOF), discussion meetings or Hackathons (2 hrs or more)

The 2014 Libre Graphics Meeting will be held April 2 – 5 in Leipzig,
Germany at Universität Leipzig.

Deadline for submissions: 15 January 2014

Selection notifications by: 25 January 2014 at the latest.

The Libre Graphics Meeting 2014 will take place 2. – 5. April 2014 in
Leipzig, Germany.
This yearly event is an occasion for projects and individual
contributors/artists from all over the world to work together, to
share experiences and to hear about new ideas.

By Libre Graphics we mean Free, Libre and Open Source tools for
design, illustration, photography, typography, art, graphics, page
layout, publishing, cartography, animation, video, interactive media,
generative graphics and visual live-coding. The Libre Graphics Meeting
is not just about software, but extends to standards, file formats and
actual use of these in creative work.
We are looking for:

In-depth presentations on Libre Graphics technologies
Showcases of excellent work made using Libre Graphics tools
New projects in this area to meet the wider community
Reports, use-cases, best practices
New emerging media; breaking free from analog constraints
Well articulated ideas for future approaches, tools and standards

Available formats (including questions):

Lightning talk (10 minutes, selected at the event unconference style)
Presentations (20 minutes extendable to 40 minutes)
Entry for State of the Libre Graphics Union (1-2 slides)
Workshops (2 hours or more)
Birds Of a Feather (BOF), discussion meetings or Hackathons (2 hrs or more)

State of the Libre Graphics Union:
We will kick off this year’s event with a joint session that sums up
all things that have happened in our wide landscape over the last
year. Instead of slots in the schedule for general updates on each and
every libre graphics project, we invite you to submit a maximum of two
slides, show-casing new abilities and/or text enumerating the leaps
forward that your project made.

Special focus:
For the 2014 edition of LGM, we are specifically interested in
presentations that showcase how the gap between technical and design
development can be bridged. We are looking for contributions on
computational and generative media; examples of projects where design
decisions and experimentation is done directly with logic and code or
indirectly with the end user providing constraints/selection of good
results. We are interested in projects where design and development
are considered necessary ingredients in a collaborative process done
by peers of technological artists, using and pushing the constraints
of creative work.
Practical Details:

Call opens Monday 25. November 2014

Deadline: 15. January 2014. We will let you know if your presentation
is selected by 25. January 2014 latest.

In the context of the meeting, we prefer short and concise presentations.

For each BOF or meeting that will be on the public schedule, we ask
you to provide a report, to be made available to the Libre Graphics
Community afterwards.

If you propose a workshop, let us know what you expect participants to
bring, in terms of both prior experience and required items
(sketchbook, laptop with which applications installed, etc.)

Dave,
Do you have talks (or know of talks) planned from the ‘libre font’ area that fit the call for presentations on "how the gap between technical and design development can be bridged” ?

I’m toying with the idea of submitting something like an “A non-experts guide to making libre fonts, quickly and easily”, suggesting workflows, techniques, floss software, that can be used for anyone with the inclination to produce and publish free fonts.

I don't. I could present font bakery, not sure how interesting it is for
this audience.

thanks Frank.

I’m not anti slowness, just thought it would make an interesting subject for a talk. Wherease yet another talk on ‘being efficient’… snore-dom!
As a painter as well as a font maker, i can appreciate the opposite of ‘quick and easy’ too, but ‘efficiency’ does not allways give the most interesting results either. Myron Stout (http://www.pinterest.com/newtypo/myron-stout/) took decades to paint single geometric paintings.
Also; life is very short and likely totally meaningless :)

Vernon: 'I’m toying with the idea of submitting something like an “A non-experts guide to making libre fonts, quickly and easily […]'
I suggest 'efficiently' instead of 'quickly and easily'. I'm making fonts since the midst 1980s and I have never considered this easy.
In the period 1980-1996 the Dutch pianist and conductor Reinbert de Leeuw recorded Satie's 'Gnossiennes' and 'Gymnopédies'. He performed these *extremely* slow (for instance his first 'Gymnopédie' is half as fast as Aldo Ciccolini's interpretation). I recall his remark that there were many pianists that could play fast, but that nobody could play as slow as he did. The result is absolutely beautiful.

for a talk. Wherease yet another talk on ‘being efficient’… snore-dom!
Speaking as a barely-self-taught non-expert, when first getting started I
think there's considerable overlap between efficiency and speed -- you lose
a lot of time early on doing things in a sub-optimal order, redoing things
the "right" way, and so on. So you might not draw faster or make design
decisions quicker due to hearing a talk on the subject, but you can
certainly save quite a few hours in other parts of the process.

I am wondering if I answer to the call for participation this year, I need
your opinion:
I could present a project called Use & Modify. It is a personal and
selection of libre fonts that will be hosted on usemodify.com
The aim of this project is to make a link a between contemporary
typographic use by graphic designers, independent type designers, students
and the libre font community. Use and modify will be the missing link
between Google fonts and Open Font Library. This will be the link I will
send to all those people who ask me for a “cool and fresh libre font list”.
Finally, this project focuses on a rich set of filters and classification.
Licenses, completeness, people, style…

The project will be achieved and online in time evidently.
Let me know if you think it make sense for a prez in Leipzig.

Hi, Dave!

I just submitted a proposal for a 20 minute presentation for the upcoming
Libre Graphics Meeting on the development of my Tai Tham font.

I think there is a fairly interesting story that is being driven by the
synergies of unmet needs and unfolding at the intersection of technology
and design. There is a lot of interest in Southeast Asia and
internationally to preserve and make palm leaf manuscripts available to
scholars and the wider public online. Collaborations between organizations
in the West and in Southeast Asia are already making palm leaf manuscripts
available online (e.g.: l'École française d'Extrême-Orient (EFEO) in France
and Sirindhorn Anthropology Centre (SAC) in Bangkok; and also the National
Library of Laos along with the University of Passau and the
Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin Preußischer Kulturbesitz in Germany) --- but at
the same time high-quality Unicode-based Tai Tham fonts and input methods
are not yet available. Of course I'm working on a Tai Tham font; and
Theppitak Karoonboonyanan in Thailand is working on Tai Tham input methods
that will automatically perform normalisation of the input sequence
(normalisation issues could easily be a whole talk by itself!). On my end,
working on a Tai Tham font, collaboration with the HarfBuzz OpenType layout
engine community is proving critical to getting things done.

I don't know if the LibreGraphics folks are interested, but just thought
I'd let you know.

I'm now making good progress on some of the technical OpenType hurdles in
Hariphunchai. Hopefully I will be submitting an invoice to Google quite
soon :-)

Best Wishes -- Ed

Hi

Good talk. Lgm record everything so will be available to a wide audience.
and they pay travel! Likely I can host you in an apartment if you come too.

Actually it would be good to send the invoice asap so I can close that po.

We may do more with non Latin this year, so may get you more cash

Cheers
