Enthusiastic quotes about the Libre Graphics Meeting:

“LGM is my favorite conference. I want more conferences or gettogethers like this. Feedback from an animator struggling to finish a task is million times more valuable than online polls asking for a feature that exists in other tools.” Jakub Steiner/ jimmac

“The LGM is the most important event on the annual calendar for me because it brings together everyone involved in the libre graphics space to meet and share ideas. Most of all, I see how libre fonts fit into a wider libre graphics movement, so I come away freshly inspired to continue working in this area.” Dave Crossland

“The very close interaction among developers with artists and designers is priceless. The opportunity to exchange ideas with other project leaders and programmers focused on graphics is something that you can’t find in other event around the world.” Gustav Gonzalez, Tupi Project

“LGM is a great chance to meet with other designers working in the open, and this year’s event was no exception. If this year’s LGM is anything to go by, open graphics and design are in good shape.” Allan Day

“The Libre Graphics meeting is not just about software, but extends to standards, file formats and actual creative work.” María Leandro / tatica
