Call for Local Organizers 2026 and 2027
The LGM is looking for local teams to organize the upcoming editions.
If you are interested in becoming a future organizer of the LGM, don’t hesitate and Contact us. Especially, if you can’t be in Nuremberg this year, so that we can keep in touch and update you with the results from the conference. If there are special request, that you need us to look into, it would be also great to hear from you.
What you need to know
There is some old documentation of the the former organizational framework, but there’s nobody left who implements it. You should have a look at it regardless: LGM set up, or start with the video linked below where Lasse took a look for you.
Changing Locations is Demanding
The mode of the LGM is traditionally to travel to different location each year. Before the pandemic, the process was to determine the locations two years in advance. That way the next year could already be supported by the team in charge for the year after, and the team of the year after could collect experience before their actual commitment started. But this model got disrupted and is dysfunctional currently.
Customary, a local organizer team is in charge of the whole conference organization. This year, we, as a community, need to find out how our structure will be constituted, so that support for the local organizers is possible, and that the barrier to entry can be lowered. For this, under the banner of the Special focus – RE:imagination, some sessions are scheduled.
Rebooting the Libre Graphics Meeting in Nuremberg 2025
Lasse gave a presentation at OpenSuse Conference 2024 about his early steps in becoming the organizer of this years, 2025, edition. This can be a good entry point for the challenges a local organizer faces.
Special focus – RE:imagination
The Libre Graphics Meeting faced significant challenges during and after the pandemic. In Rennes, France, 2024, the local organization team revitalized the event, and now we aim to rebuild the international community and strengthen the structures around the Libre Graphics Meeting.
Join us to reconnect with old friends and forge new connections. Under the theme of RE:imagination, we are going to explore the future of the Libre Graphics Meeting together.
