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

24 Mar '13

Since the sixteenth century the Juan de la Cuesta Printing inhabits the old house of the former St. Carmen Hospitalillo. During the Siglo de Oro, the literary and theatrical community bustled around this printer who came in record time to publish the first edition of Don Quixote. Today, this spirit is maintained by the activities of the cultural center of the Cervantes Society. The once Imprenta Municipal de Madrid (Municipal Printing) inhabits a beautiful rationalist building, a collection of machines that until recently almost exclusively printed entire graphic production of the City of Madrid, and a workshop “live” where they are still engaged in productive activities. The proposed visit, what is all this legacy, but mostly to see how even develops a graphic workshop in this institution. Start of the visit Sunday 14 April 10h.45 Medialab Prado at the Belgian Sawmill 11h. Printing Juan de la Cuesta (See Cervantes Society), Calle Atocha 87 12h. Museo de la Imprenta Municipal – Artes del Libro Calle. Concepción Jerónima, 15 Free access; be on time!

LGM2013: Fieldnotes - printed program available
by Manuel Schmalstieg 20 Mar '13

20 Mar '13

Hi LGRU and LGM people, Since today, the unofficial "LGM 2013 [Fieldnotes]" book can be ordered from: Amazon España => http://www.amazon.es/dp/2970070669 Amazon France => http://www.amazon.fr/dp/2970070669 (free shipping to France, Monaco, Belgium and Luxembourg) Amazon Germany => http://www.amazon.de/dp/2970070669 (free shipping to Austria, Belgium, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Switzerland) Amazon UK => http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/2970070669 Amazon USA => http://www.amazon.com/dp/2970070669 Print it at home => https://github.com/greyscalepress/lgm-2013 What is this? It's a print edition of the complete LGM program found online at <http://libregraphicsmeeting.org/2013/program/>, with some blank space for your notes, and some useful maps of Madrid, courtesy OpenStreetMap. It's in pocket book format, 172 pages, so you can easily carry it with you during the four days of LGM. The book design has begun on Sunday 17th March and finished 24 hours later. It was made with Scribus, and typeset with the libre fonts Chivo, by Hector Gatti and Igino Marin; Volkhov (by Ivan Petrov and Alexei Vanyashin); and Karla (by Jonny Pinhorn). It was produced spontaneously, following the "release early, release often" dogma, and there will be some mistakes (we apologize for having misspelt the font "Volkhov" as "Vokhov" on page 171). The printing is done "on demand" through the Amazon CreateSpace service. The revenue is kept at zero, the price of the book (EUR 4,40 - 4,76 depending where you order) just covers the printing. Why do this? This book was inspired by James Bridle's publishing experiments (SXSW 2010 [Fieldnotes]), visible at booktwo.org. It's intended to serve as "a one-time pad", a personal notebook for the duration of LGM. So we can quietly read the conference abstracts during our travel, and be perfectly prepared for the information overload that awaits us :) Regards, Manuel Schmalstieg Greyscale Press

Urgent > LGM2013 advertising in Spanish Magazine
by Nerea García Garmendia 13 Mar '13

13 Mar '13

Dear all, There is a 99% change we can get a free add in a Spanish monthly magazine called Yorokobu (here is the online version). They are very enthusiastic about the event (for obvious reasons... lot's of potential readers there) and are offering us a free online banner and a full page ad, and of course to cover in depth the event in two issues (april and may) in exchage for letting them have some issues of their magazine available somewhere in the space, and to put their logo on Medialab's website. We haven't written the agreement yet so all this is a general idea that we need to discuss in detail. However they're closing the April issue in a couple of days so it is urgent to send them the ad. So the questions is: are you guys ok with using the same one we made for Libregraphics Magazine? http://www.lafkon.net/exchange/lgm2013/130118/130118_LibreGraphicsMagazine.… best, nerea -- Nerea García Garmendia Medialab-Prado Área de Las Artes, Ayuntamiento de Madrid Intermediae Matadero Madrid Paseo de la Chopera, 14 28045 Madrid Tel. 915177288 (interno 57288) nerea(a)medialab-prado.es www.medialab-prado.es Durante las obras que tienen lugar en MEDIALAB-PRADO (Plaza de las Letras.

LGM2013: Future Tools - program on-line
by Femke Snelting 12 Mar '13

12 Mar '13

Dear all, The program for the upcoming meeting is on-line: http://libregraphicsmeeting.org/2013/program Thank you for proposing so many excellent presentations and workshops! This year there are a lot of pixel-editing related workshops (Krita, Synfig, GIMP), so we could not avoid overlaps but we'll try to locate related workshops/meetings in adjacent rooms so that it is easier to move between. If you are planning a team-meeting or BOF that is not yet on the schedule, can you let us know as soon as possible so we can announce it? If you have specific questions about your own talk, please write me and Monica Cachafeiro <monica(a)medialab-prado.es> off-list. Femke

LGRU Archive Sprint Porto 22 - 25 may
by peter 12 Mar '13

12 Mar '13

Dear LGRU partners and associates, We are excited that our next meeting in the framework of the LGRU project will soon take place in Madrid. Looking forward to a great program and spending some time together! This mail concerns the last meeting of the LGRU project: the closing meeting in Porto. This meeting is planned from 22 until 25 May. Our hosting partner in Porto will be Manufactura Independente, who most of you might have met during one of our previous meetings. http://blog.manufacturaindependente.org/ The venue for the meeting is the fantastic Maus Hábitos, a great cultural centre (and lunch restaurant) on top of a parking garage in the heart of Porto. Here the LGRU activities can take place with a super view on the city. There are many great opportunities to work with local arts and design protagonists and organisations, Manufactura is preparing workshops and thinking about a small exhibition so the closing meeting will be a great final chord to this project. A reminder: Every partner in LGRU can send 2 persons to the meeting, every associate one person. It is best if the persons who are in your organisations working on the reporting / accountancy of the LGRU project join the meeting, that way the work can be streamlined and swift. We will soon start booking travels and hotels, for which we need to know who is travelling / staying on which days. Since this meeting is planned quite soon after Madrid, you might want to figure out internally who will join the Porto meeting. Next week, we will contact each of you again with this question. The meeting is an 'Archive Sprint' aimed at gathering and producing materials that provide an afterlife to the project. Those of you not working for a partner or associate organisation are very welcome to the meeting to join the work ! We hope to see you all first of all in Madrid, and soon after: Porto!
