Libre Graphics Meeting

LGM aims to bring these people together in the cause of creating high quality free graphics applications;[3] By collaborating it allows the development of cross-application assets like brushes and enhanced interoperability such as shared file formats.

[4] Many of the separate groups take the opportunity to hold birds of a feather (BOF) sessions.

As well as cross pollination of ideas the Libre Graphics Meeting allows the discussion of possible future collaboration.

Louis Suárez-Potts, OpenOffice.org's Community Development Manager and Community Lead was sent to the LGM 2007 to find ways that OpenOffice.org might be able to transcend the boundaries of a traditional office suite by collaborating with other open source projects.

For example when a user needed to edit an image in an office document, OpenOffice.org may suggest GIMP to fill the role required.
