From 22 to 25 May the Libre Graphics Research Unit gathers in Porto and this meeting concludes the two year project. Hosted by associate partner Manufactura Independente in Maus Habitos we will present and discuss all work that was developed in the context of the Research Unit: The Piksels and Lines Orchestra, Superglue, Graphical Shell prototype, the Future Tools event, Grafica Libre estacion de trabajo, Tools for a Read-Write World, Considering your tools: a reader for designers and developers, and more. In parallel we open an exhibition of books made with FLOSS, plus on Saturday 25 May there will be workshops with students and local professionals.
Goal of this meeting is to facilitate an indepth discussion based on work developed in context of LGRU, to finish archiving/documentation as far as not already done; to reflect on/discuss the results of project as a whole and hopefully to start future work.
