 Dear CREATE community,

I'm sending this on behalf of the rest of the local organizing team,
and the program team, who did a lot of good work to put this call
together.

Please feel free to distribute widely.

**Libre Graphics Meeting 2015: Beyond The First Decade**
http://libregraphicsmeeting.org/2015/call-for-participation/


The tenth annual international Libre Graphics Meeting 2015 will take
place 29 April – 2 May 2015 in Toronto, Canada.

This yearly event is an occasion for teams and individual
contributors/artists involved in Libre Graphics 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 of Libre Graphics code-contributions
* Showcases of excellent work made using Libre Graphics tools
* New and experimental projects in this area to meet the wider community
* Reports, use-cases, best practices
* Talks that show the accomplishments and strides that Libre Graphics
has made in its first decade and what it can do next

Available formats (times include Q&A):

* Lightning talk (7 minutes, selected at the event unconference style)
* Presentations (20 minutes)
* Entry for State of the Libre Graphics Union (1-2 slides)
* Workshops (1 or 2 hours)*
* Birds Of a Feather (BOF), discussion meetings or Hackathons (2 hrs or more)
**State of the Libre Graphics Union**

We will kick off the 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,  showcasing new abilities and/or text enumerating the leaps
forward  that your project made.
**Special focus: Beyond The First Decade**

Because 2015 marks the tenth edition of LGM, the focus this year is on
the past and future of Libre Graphics. We have a special interest this
year in projects that show where Libre Graphics has been, what
distances it has travelled, and where it might go in the next ten
years. We welcome submissions representing the broad ecology of Libre
Graphics, from full-fledged software packages, to artist-built
scripts, to art and publications, and even the cultural touchstones
and issues present in Libre Graphics communities. We’re looking for
talks, workshops and other events that show the accomplishments and
strides that Libre Graphics has made in its first decade and what it
can do next.
