After going to DrupalCon in San Fran last month, I realised that many people in the Drupal community don't seem to be using Free and Open Source Graphics Software. Just as we love and benefit from the open source nature of Drupal, we can benefit from using open source graphics software.
I went looking for a FOSS graphics group on GDO and haven't really found one yet, so I thought I would think local, and start by introducing the Belgium drupal community to the libre graphics community while they're 'on home ground' so to speak. Or something like that. I hope that's ok?
Because graphics are an important aspect of modern web development, I like to think there are natural connections between Free Graphics, and Free Content Management Systems :)
Developers of Blender, Gimp, Inkscape, Krita, Scribus, Sk1, Open Clip Art, Open Font Library, etc will be there to work together to improve their software and tools, and with the users of that software. See http://libregraphicsmeeting.org/2010/index.php?p=en/project for a list of projects.
A great suggestion to add the event to the Belgium group. I'll do that now!
