I've got Studio covered. In talks at the moment about logistics and what level of support we can expect.
Thanks for setting that up ginger :-)
Now we just need some people to propose workshops :) -ginger
Yes! Keep mailing your ideas to this list or add them to: http://create.freedesktop.org/wiki/Pre-LGM2011-weekend I see now it is better to have 3hr sessions instead of 4hr and of course we should mix developer and designer participants; that's the whole point. Will add more details over the coming days -- aiming to have titles and tutors sorted out in ten days or so. F

We can add a page on WP LGM about these workshops and describe them so that people can register to them. Awesome!

First of all: are there already any concrete agreements with Foulab? I am asking because StudioXX has agreed to make their workshop spaces plus equipment available for the weekend. It looks like the Let's-Talk-About-Tools-exhibition can take place at StudioXX as well (more news about that soon from ginger), so that seems convenient. In addition, StudioXX has multiple computers available, dualboot Ubuntu. What do you think? One of the spaces available: http://www.studioxx.org/newsletter/images/BanniereBulletin58.jpg About the exhibition and debate: http://www.libregraphicsmeeting.org/2011/?page_id=2 As for the program, we were thinking to host a maximum of three workshops (one or two on Saturday and one on Sunday) and to have the public jury discussion Sunday at 17:00 and vernissage of the exhibition Sunday at 20:00 -- as close as possible to the start of LGM itself on Tuesday. We'd like these workshops to be a mix techniques, tools and concepts and they would run about four hours each. We thought it could be interesting to extend the "Let's-Talk-About-Tools"-theme in relation to the debate and exhibition. The workshops would be aimed at art- or design students plus creative professionals interested in F/LOSS; a maximum of 15 participants per workshop. OSP is ready to take on one of the workshops (we're still brainstorming about what we would like to do and we would like to connect to one of your proposals), so ... is there anybody here on the list planning to arrive early that wants to take on a workshop? It would be interesting to work on the tools-theme through illustration or animation for example, but I can also imagine a digital Pattern Making workshop with Susan Spencer ... or something mixing imposition, binding and mapping with Tom Lechner ... or exploring the idea of manuals-before-tools that came up here earlier ... or ... best!
