<div>Salut Louis,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>As Greg mentioned, I'm dedicated to attend this year and also hold one or two talks, as well as writing a report for the Swiss magazine "Publisher" (minor correction: none of the editors is interested in a presentation/talk; instead they'll send either a reporter or provide gratis issues for LGM attendees, or both).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>As to my registration for a talk, it included actually two suggestions, one for a longer presentation together with Jason Harder, a German DTP and pre-press professional who has became sick and tired of Apple's and Adobe's licensing/upgrade schemes. He tested Scribus 1.4 and is very supportive of Open Source ideas (and has already provided a large collection of test files for the re-lab project). My idea is to first let Jason describe his experiences and expectations with respect to Scribus pre and post 1.4.x, then move on to his test experiences and to what he failed to recognise, not the least because of a lack of intuitivity of the Scribus UI. I'd like to finalise the joined presentation with some experiences of teaching Scribus and giving advice to users via email. At the very least I want to describe a corner case, which was completely unforseen by the Scribus Team, but, as it turned out, resulted in Scribus being the only software able to save an opera premiere at one of Germany's leading opera houses.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>As an addition or an alternative, I'd like to demonstrate Scribus's new import filters, ideally in tandem with Franz, i.e. presenting in short form the documentation updates I'm currently working on.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Caveat: During March or April we need to move hundreds of objects in our museum into a special trailer truck to eliminate timber worms. The final date is not set yet, but even if it coincides with LGM, I'll most likely be able to attend at least for one or two days.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I wonder, though, if LGM 2014 will be happening at all (cf. the latest email from Tobial Ellinghaus to the Create-ML). I registered as a participant, but as of today I haven't received a confirmation. Nor am I listed. What I'm also missing is a list of recommended accomodations and a map/route description to the venue, including public transport.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The organisers of LGM 2014 need to get to work immediately, and this includes the website!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Best,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Christoph</div>

<b>Betreff:</b> [scribus-dev] Planning LGM in Leipzig</div>
<div name="quoted-content">
<div>Hi all,
<div> </div>
<div>I wonder who’s planning to attend LGM in Leipzig and if we could set up a good time for a meeting and also plan something we’d like to say to LGMers in a talk or a workshop or any other idea? We’d need to secure a slot in the program. There seems to be a week left or so for this.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I plan to be there!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I should arrive a couple days before LGM starts and leave the day after it’s finished.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Plans can change but this is how I look at it at present time.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Plane ticket yet to buy and same for hotel reservation or appartment rental.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am not so free these days to pop on IRC just like that but if there is a will for a meeting, let me know and I’ll gladly join.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Cheers and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Louis</div>
