I'm pretty excited that I got a LGM review posted on Linux.com. I hope that this drives interest in LGM and free graphics in general.

The article talks about a lot of the higher level things that went on at LGM, and things that a general audience would find exciting. From an Inkscape perspective there was a lot going on. Everyone was excited by blur, and it was amazing to see "Inkscape experts" work, much more skilled than myself.

One of the things that I think we found really interesting was the work on InGIMP. We talked a lot about how to get that working in Inkscape, and Mental prototyped some of it out on Saturday evening. The idea that we can capture the usage in "real sessions" is a great way to find out what users are really doing. The folks at UWaterloo said that they would work with us to host the data. But, what I'd really like is for them to study it and come up with conclusions <smile>. Really, the strength of their method is tying the data to recorded user session, and we couldn't easily get those sessions together.

I think the most fun was just meeting everyone, and seeing the folks that I had met again. Cheers to all!
