hi all, we did a rework of the input interface, which should make the use much more intuitive. in best case it should be self explanatory, therefore i do not say anything ;) http://www.forkable.eu/generators/r+w/Q&A furthermore we set up something like a press kit for the logo,etcpp. which should be also usable for the website design. if there are any question, don't hesitate to ask. http://www.forkable.eu/generators/r+w/o/press/ best regards, christoph -- Christoph Haag __ ___ __ | |.---.-.' _| |--.-----.-----. | || _ | _| <| _ | | |__||___._|__| |__|__|_____|__|__| PUBLISHING GbR Äußeres Pfaffengäßchen 30 86152 Augsburg Tel. 0821.8852255 Mob. ----.------- christoph(a)lafkon.net www.lafkon.net/what

Announcing Libre Graphics magazine issue 2.1
by Ana Isabel Carvalho 28 Feb '13

28 Feb '13

⤹⟷...⟺...⇄...sorry for cross-posting...⇄...⟺...⟷⤸ -----> Announcing Libre Graphics magazine issue 2.1 <----- This February, Libre Graphics magazine (http://libregraphicsmag.com/) has reached a major milestone. We have published and shipped issue 2.1, the first number in our second volume. Titled "Localization/Internationalisation," this issue explores the unique problems of non-latin type, the hyper-localisation of custom clothing patterns and international visual languages, among other topics. Launched at FOSDEM, this issue marks the beginning of our second volume of publication, and heralds our move towards an increasingly critical slant. Exploring not just how Free/Libre Open Source Software can be used to create high quality art and design, in volume 2, we see a growing emphasis on the cultural and social issues around F/LOSS and Free Culture. With 2.1, we discuss issues of regionality. We are currently seeking submissions (http://libregraphicsmag.com/2013/02/gendering-floss-issue-2-2-call-for-subm…) for 2.2, "Gendering F/LOSS," which will revolve around gendered identity and work in F/LOSS and Free Culture. We invite both potential readers and submittors to download, view, write, pull, branch and otherwise engage. We hope, in the coming year and with the help of a growing community, to further push the work of F/LOSS art, design and discussion. About Libre Graphics magazine Libre Graphics magazine (ISSN 1925-1416) is a print publication devoted to showcasing and promoting work created with Free/Libre Open Source Software. Since 2010, we have been publishing work about or including artistic practices which integrate Free, Libre and Open software, standards, culture, methods and licenses.

Co-position axis - Collision workshop
by Pierre Huyghebaert 18 Feb '13

18 Feb '13

Dear LGRU list members, Femke and me are preparing the last bits of a workshop (21-23 February) in the frame of the Co-position research, more precisely focused on the collision notion. A bit too deeply into it, i've forgot to inform you, sorry about that. Please find the programme hereafter. The programme we propose is divided in three parts. Thursday morning, we'll start at 10h with introductions and presentations of various related projects by participants. Thursday afternoon and Friday morning, we'll play different "exercices" and practice situations of collision. Friday afternoon, after lunch, we'll go out for a brief fieldtrip and, back to Variable, we'll start prototyping following 3 different axes. Each day we'll start at 10h and we'll try to finish at 18h. We'll have coffee ready at 9:30 every day. Practically : The address is Constant Variable, Rue Gallaitstraat 80, Brussels http://variable.constantvzw.org/define/index.php/Route Dates: 21-23 February 2013, 10:00-18:00 We'll be around 20 participants (see http://blogs.lgru.net/collision/?page_id=30), participation is free and the bio belgian lunchs are included! More explanation and the updated programme is on http://blogs.lgru.net/collision Pierre and Femke +32 495 90 56 32 ------- Program Thursday 21 February 10:00 – Presentations Femke Snelting : LGRU, two years after http://lgru.net Pierre Huyghebaert : Introduction Collision and the Co-position research Eric Schrijver and John Haltiwanger : Visual Culture http://git.constantvzw.org/?p=osp.tools.visualculture.git Alex Leray and Stéphanie Vilayphiou : Brainch and other projects http://stdin.fr/Works/Brainch Dave Young : Yet another collaboritive writing tool http://hendersonsix.com, http://dvyng.com Christoph Haag (LAFKON) http://www.lafkon.net/ Eleanor Greenhalgh http://ox4.org/~nor/ + other presentations of various related projects by participants. 12:30 – Lunch 14:00 – Exercises Plotter play – territories (Gijs de Heij) Yet another collaborative editor (Dave Young) http://www.forkable.eu (Christoph Haag) Friday 22 February 10:00 – Exercise: The People Speak http://www.thepeoplespeak.com 12:30 – Lunch 14:00 – Fieldtrip: Border stone meets elephant Pierre and Femke introduce three possible approaches in response to a specific cartographic collision. We'll form three groups, to develop each a mini-prototype. As a startingpoint, we invite each group to think with us about (one of) the following questions: - Could we imagine how reverse placement could bring another approach to toponomy? - What if the visualisation of geographic data would allow for tension and conflict to become visible? - How to imagine thresholds as relational parameters, rather than as binary borders? (research/discussion materials will be provided) Saturday 23 February 10:00 – Prototyping continued 12:30 – Lunch 14:00 – Prototyping continued 17:00 – Presentations and discussion
