During the Pecha Kucha Montreal on April 20 2011, I presented the upcoming conference I am helping organize called Libre Graphics Meeting from May 10 -13. I encouraged designers to participate in the movement of open source software because they are needed. Designers and programmers, they complete each other and can build together really cool shit.
