Please Continue Libre Graphics Meeting 2009 Support
Yes, the economy is not very good, but we are more determined than ever to put on the Libre Graphics Meeting 2009 this year in Montreal. Its the main time that all your favorite Free and Open Source Graphics Software teams are able to come together to accelerate collaboration and development in person.
We need your support! And to show this support, we have been asking for your support in the three following ways (as described in my last post):
- Donate to Sponsor Developer Travel via our Pledgie Campaign
- Blog about this campaign on your site(s)
- Put the following pledgie drive button on your site(s) for the duration of the campaign
There are already several in the community who are supporting our cause such as Bennis Welt who said, “I’d be happy if my readers would donate to this cause when using any open source graphic programs. 5, 10, 15$ or more are very appreciated.” In German he said, “Ich würde mich freuen, wenn dies viele meiner Leser, die Open Source Grafikprogramme einsetzen, tun, seien es 5, 10 oder 15$, jeder Betrag ist willkommen und wird dringend benötigt.”
Supporting Libre Graphics Meeting 2009 promotes international development. In Poland, MMIIC posted a call for donations on the Polish Gimp Forums. And, super-supporter Valessio from Brazil posted the announcement to www.InkscapeBrasil.org, http://wiki.softwarelivre.org/InkscapeBrasil/Noticia20090306012705, http://wiki.softwarelivre.org/Scribus, http://wiki.softwarelivre.org/LGM and his own blog: http://valessiobrito.info.
