The Libre Graphics Meeting needs your help!

In its third edition this year, this conference brings together  developers and users from free software graphics projects including the GIMP, Inkscape, Scribus, Blender, Krita and more.

This year, the organisers are asking for your help to make the conference rock, and to cover the travel costs of as many key developers as possible from these projects.

Over 80% of the budget of the conference is spent on travel & accommodation costs, with the infrastructure costs being kept to a minimum, so you can be sure that your donations are going directly to a good cause.

The fundraiser is being hosted by Pledgie, and donations are made via the GNOME Foundation, a US-based non-profit (501(c)3), which means that donations from US taxpayers are tax deductible. The organisers have the goal of raising $20,000 by the18th of April, an ambitious but worthwhile goal.
