It will be weeks before I can actually take in all of the developments, conversations, challenges and potential each participating project had benefited from.
I’ll have to categorize the areas of massive development:
It was like a wedding of api’s, libraries, programs and users: All parts of the open source creative chain met together and the fusion was immediate and real.
- Colour: management in our files, our applications and throughout our desktop.
- Typography: management, libraries, designing, accessibility and the authors.
- Geometry: Rendering api, computational libraries, new methods and in our apps
- Publishing: the best workflow, the toolchains, the standards and the content.
- Image: composting frameworks, open formats, editing articulation ..more
- Insight & Implementation: research, usability, interaction design & planning
I’ll try to pull apart these categories to cover each projects benefits of the meeting. Like I said, its a lot to take in… I couldn’t be more happy.
So, Thank you!
Thank you to everyone who made the most of their time during LGM.
You were teaching, learning, coding and planning. As a collective, our understanding grew into other new worlds and our code will benefit.
Thank you to everyone who made LGM happen. You were sponsors, helping out during the day, and making introductions between projects.
Even the people who couldn’t make it to Poland, your efforts made LGM possible and look at the benefits. So thank you, again and again.
I’ve always known open source is the best way to develop software (and ideas) and LGM is such a real demonstration of the fact.
I should probably get preachy and mention that the most expensive proprietary company SLA’s will never get you this kind of synergy between your engineers and the api’s they use. But there’s plenty of time for that later.
Stay tuned for more news soon. I’m off to have some chilli crab!
