Dear all,
I am writing you from Madrid just after a first meeting between WORM, Medialab-Prado, Piksel and Constant -- the co-organizers involved in the Libre Graphics Research Unit. We discussed concepts and methods, how to connect our different perspectives and interests, started planning activities and set the agenda. We obviously also needed to take care of practicalities related to managing the project. There's still enough left to be worked on ;-) but it was a good start.
Very concretely: the first research meeting will take place 7-10 December 2011 in Rotterdam and you are of course invited. All 'associated partners' are welcome to participate in each of the upcoming meetings. The LGRU-project pays for travel, subsistence and a modest fee for one person per organization. In June-July we'll be in contact to see how else you want/can be involved in the activities of the Research Unit.
Later today you will also receive an invitation to the lgru-mailinglist. From now on mails about the project will pass through this list.
All the best and speak soon,
Femke
