Photos from my travels to Nuremberg for the #LibreGraphicsMeeting. The first photo is from a workshop at LGM, in this moment a demonstration of using an ink plotter and a joystick to play a game of worm on paper!
The jaw dropping sculpture is in Frankfurt, but it was on the way to Nuremberg. And the 4th photo is a monument to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, something I didn't even know existed until I was 25 or so! ...the declaration I mean, the monument I only just learned of.
Moving away from proprietary software is especially difficult for artists, since many of us are trapped within the #adobe ecosystem.
This is why I find #LGM2025 so exciting and hopeful!
Thankfully the organizers have made the conference videos available outside of #evilcorp #youtube etc to #peertube

I just caught up with some of the talks from the first day of this year's #libregraphicsmeeting @lgm in #Nuremberg. I would recommend you take a look at Simran's talk on #opensource video editing. It's a good overview on the available #foss toolkit and a deeper dive on #Olive, that motivated me to look into it again.

Aaaand last recording cut, will be online in ~20 minutes.
Thank you to all the speakers, volunteers and everyone else that made the #LibreGraphicsMeeting a really nice event to be at. Maybe we'll see each other again next year :)
Until then, enjoy watching all of the nice talks. We'll sure rewatch some of them ourselves! https://media.ccc.de/c/lgm2025

I had lots of fun being a spontaneous tour guide for the photo walk in Nürnberg yesterday.
As I was busy pointing out and talking about all the sights, with history, stories... and also pointing out birds (by sound and sight)... I didn't actually use my camera much. 😄
I'm definitely looking forward to all the photos everyone snapped along the way! 👍
I hope everyone else had fun too!
Day four of #lgm25 #lgm25nbg #libregraphicsmeeting already. What continues to blow my mind is the depth of skill and creativity in this community. Seeing what everyone has been working on inspires me to get back to spending more time in the land of libre graphics, which is a very welcome feeling.
