Fwd: [FM Discuss] FLOSS for Schools
by Femke Snelting 25 Apr '13

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [FM Discuss] FLOSS for Schools Date: Thu, 25 Apr 2013 18:46:25 +0300 From: Tomi Toivio <tomi(a)flossmanuals.net> Reply-To: discuss(a)lists.flossmanuals.net To: discuss(a)lists.flossmanuals.net <discuss(a)lists.flossmanuals.net> Hi, I am just compiling a list of FLOSS software used in Finnish schools based on the interviews we did for the FLOSS for Schools manual. Note that this is just what the teachers actually mentioned in the interview, so it is quite far from a complete list. Probably this pretty much covers the software they use most frequently. Here is the list: Linux, LTSP, Dream School, Moodle, Mozilla Firefox, LibreOffice/OpenOffice, GIMP, Scribus, Geodebra, Pahvi, Kino, OpenShot, VLC. A lot of this stuff is already covered by FLOSS Manuals, but it gives some ideas about what might be needed in the future. The next project of the Finnish FLOSS Manuals is the Dream School Manual in Finnish, English and Swedish: http://dreamschool.eu/ -- Best Regards Tomi Toivio Open Source Coordinator http://fi.flossmanuals.net/ tomi(a)flossmanuals.net <mailto:tomi@flossmanuals.net> +358453536625

Book Missing
by Brendan Howell 12 Apr '13

12 Apr '13

Hey Folks, It looks like somebody stole my book! I'm very flattered but it was a proof and the only copy I brought to Madrid. If you happened to take "Heroic Real Estate Otter of the 21st Century" I would be most grateful if you put it back on the black publications pedestal in the "hacker commons" area on the 2nd floor. No questions will be asked. and for those who are interested, you can order the book here: http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/excode Oh and check out the other LGM books here: http://libregraphicsmeeting.org/2013/books/ thanks! -Brendan -- http://wintermute.org/brendan +49 1577 157 4131

Fwd: New Project from The Museum of Contemporary Cuts (MoCC)
by Stéphanie Vilayphiou 11 Apr '13

11 Apr '13

Hi everyone, it seems that the financial crisis is in the subject of a lot of topics here at LGM. This mobile museum of contemporary cuts seems like an interesting format to reappropriate in our different countries, don't you think? btw, congratulations on the great work for hosting LGM, I think for those who didn't see the space the days before, no one would believe you were missing of anything. It actually looks very chic! See you later there, S. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: New Project from The Museum of Contemporary Cuts (MoCC) Date: Thu, 11 Apr 2013 11:46:16 +0200 From: Joasia <joasia(a)kurator.org> To: Joasia <joasia(a)kurator.org> New Project from The Museum of Contemporary Cuts (MoCC) Dear Friends and Colleagues, / /I would like to share with you information on a new project from The Museum of Contemporary Cuts (MoCC): /We Have Come to Shack Up with You/, by artist Lanfranco Aceti. On April 13th 2013, Lanfranco Aceti Inc. sponsors 10 return train trips from London to Wendover, to the country home of the current Prime Minister. In the spirit of sacrifice and in order to share the costs of the current debt, perhaps the Prime Minister may consider providing accommodation in the extra number of rooms of his country home. You can read more and follow the development of the project here: http://museumofcontemporarycuts.org/we-have-come-to-shack-up-with-you-pr/. The Museum of Contemporary Cuts (MoCC) is a new international museum that focuses on the impact that the current economic crisis has on the arts, artists and the creative industries. MoCC is a mobile museum, an art project in itself, a curatorial vagary and a documentation site of contemporary cuts to art organizations that are often left undocumented and un-collected. http://museumofcontemporarycuts.org/.

by Stéphanie Vilayphiou 08 Apr '13

08 Apr '13

Hi everyone, deadline is coming fast and we need to find a better title than "LGRU reader" for our project. Here is a brainstorm of titles: http://lgru.pad.constantvzw.org:8000/150 Would be great if you could put a mark on titles you find interesting and/or propose new ones. Ideally, we would like to settle our mind by tomorrow 16h. Thanks a lot for your help! Stéphanie and Alex -- ---- Stéphanie Vilayphiou <stdin> http://stdin.fr/ +32 (0)4 89 00 88 59

call for designer-actors: pixels and lines orchestra
by Brendan Howell 08 Apr '13

08 Apr '13

Hello LGRU, Jon and I have been working for the last few months to create a system that turns free graphic design tools into musical instruments. We are going to present it in the form of an experimental theater piece / noise opera. But we need your help! We need designer-actors who can work expressively with GIMP, myPaint or Scribus. For those who are shy about getting on stage, there are no speaking roles. Almost all "acting" will take place on the computer screen following an IRC-based dialog and improvising with the graphical-musical instruments. Please note, the script was written to reflect the problematic conventional gender and power roles in the design world, but we are willing to shift these around. These are the roles: Liza Doolittle - A young, not-so-fashionable, inexperienced designer. She works in a copy shop and wants to be the intern for the Raster and Servant design agency. Henry Raster - A successful and very arrogant designer, owner of the firm. Mrs. Raster - Henry's mother. Part owner of the agency. Calm and kind but often frustrated by her son's rude behavior. Joseph Kern - Henry's friend and partner in the design agency. A slightly older gentleman (or woman) who learned design in the pre-PC era. Hilde - A junior designer at the agency. The performance will be on Friday night. We will do one rehearsal on Thursday night. If you are interested please contact Jon or me. -Brendan & Jon -- http://wintermute.org/brendan +49 1577 157 4131
