    Time to Show and Tell Neal Stephenson likens operating systems to cars. In his analogy, Windows is a station wagon and Mac OS is an expensive, attractive European-style car. The two are available in dealerships, along with all the normal service options. Linux, on the other hand, is a tank. Not only a tank, but a free one. It's a stronger, faster, more reliable vehicle with a personal approach to maintenance. But it doesn't have a dealership or ad budget. Libre Graphics is in a similar situation. It's strong, fast, reliable and even diverse. It has great community support and investment. And like Stephenson's tanks, it's being cranked out and offered to anyone who will take it. Both the Libre Graphics Meeting and this magazine exist to serve the Libre Graphics community. LGM, now in its fifth year, has been a venue for developers to meet, organize and work. In this magazine, we present to you the output of that work. Libre Graphics #0 showcases the work of developers, users, artists and people with any number of other titles. Some do performance art, some make films. In common, they have Libre Graphics. Why make new fonts? Dave Crossland (www.understandingfonts.com) "Why make new fonts?" is the most common question I have been asked since I set out to become a typeface designer. When I mention I did a Masters degree in the subject, at the University of Reading, England, I sometimes meet genuine surprise that this subject is studied seriously. Often, people haven't ever thought about where fonts come from, since the fonts on their computer are just there, you know? We see different fonts out in the world constantly, so we all know there sure are a lot of them.

    Minor Compositions Open Access Statement – Please Read This book is open access. This work is not simply an electronic book; it is the open access version of a work that exists in a number of forms, the traditional printed form being one of them. All Minor Compositions publications are placed for free, in their entirety, on the web. This is because the free and autonomous sharing of knowledges and experiences is important, especially at a time when the restructuring and increased centralization of book distribution makes it difficult (and expensive) to distribute radical texts effectively. The free posting of these texts does not mean that the necessary energy and labor to produce them is no longer there. One can think of buying physical copies not as the purchase of commodities, but as a form of support or solidarity for an approach to knowledge production and engaged research (particularly when purchasing directly from the publisher). The open access nature of this publication means that you can: • read and store this document free of charge • distribute it for personal use free of charge • print sections of the work for personal use • read or perform parts of the work in a context where no financial transactions take place However, it is against the purposes of Minor Compositions open access approach to: • gain financially from the work • sell the work or seek monies in relation to the distribution of the work • use the work in any commercial activity of any kind • profit a third party indirectly via use or distribution of the work • distribute in or through a commercial body (with the exception of academic usage within educational institutions) The intent of Minor Compositions as a project is that any surpluses generated from the use of collectively produced literature are intended to return to further the development and production of further publications and writing: that which comes from the commons will be used to keep cultivating those commons.

  • Something for Everyone: Using Digital Methods to Make Physical Goods*
    Something for everyone: Using digital methods to make physical goods* by ginger coons A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Information University of Toronto Copyright by ginger coons 2016 Distributed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International license Something for everyone: Using digital methods to make physical goods* ginger coons Doctor of Philosophy 2016 Faculty of Information, University of Toronto Abstract In this dissertation I draw a link between the purported changes being wrought on society by the adoption of digital production technologies and previous waves of technological change in the production of goods. I use two case studies to provide detailed accounts of methods of production and development which use digital fabrication technologies to negotiate relationships between individuals and standards. The first case study, a collaborative Free/Libre Open Source Software development project, represents a kind of digital production which creates digital goods. The second case study looks at the digitally-aided fabrication of a physical good: 3D-printed sockets for prosthetic legs. I further argue that we need new frameworks for studying the intersection of the digital and the physical, or the inextricability of the two concepts. Scrutinizing the way mass methods of production almost always account for the needs of some kind of normative user, resulting in mis-fit for non-standard users, I then question arguments about mass-customization as a solution to mis-fit. One of the contentions I advance in this dissertation is that positioning mass production as necessarily harmful and marginalizing, while seeing mass customization as a solution, creates a counter-productive dichotomy.

  • Mag.Net Reader: Experiences in Electronic Cultural Publishing (Forthcoming) Images
    Mag.net reader: Experiences in Electronic Cultural Publishing (forthcoming) Images: http://ospublish.constantvzw.org/documents/awkward Awkward gestures: designing with Free Software Open Source Publishing (OSP) is a Brussels based design team that uses Free Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS), open fonts and copyleft licences for its productions. We aim to make our designs available as source material whenever possible and try to convince our clients to do the same. [1] Print Party avant la lettre: production line for an 'exquisite corpse' publication as part of The Tomorrow Book Project (Jan van Eyck Academie, Maastricht, 2006) We launched OSP because our portfolio started to fill up with designs for alternative music, copyleft activities and Linux Install Parties and the gap between the language of our work and the jargon of the commercial software we used became more obvious with every new job. We were also interested in the role that software plays in the creative process and trying to find out how our digital tools could become a creative and substantial element in design itself. But since the software packages of Adobe Inc. have become quite the standard in art academies, creative studios and printshops, it is difficult to detect their influence, let alone analyse their effect. The past two years, OSP has made a number of publications, posters, brochures and websites with Free Software and this experience has changed our practice. Although this was clearly our objective, it also led to surprising discoveries about the way we work and what we actually expect from software. [2] Print Party 0.2: How To Print A Booklet In 19 Easy Steps; the projected command line interface shows the second last step (Interface 3, Brussels, 2006) Almost every poster, website or publication that is made nowadays, is the result of a partial or a complete digital process, but worldwide there is just one single company that supplies designers with tools to make them.

  • Wednesday April 10Th
    Wednesday April 10th 14:30 (workshop) Character animation in Synfig Konstantin Dmitriev morevnaproject.org/ In this workshop I'm going to demonstrate an approach for character animation in Synfig. This approach allows to produce simple but good­looking animation very quickly using the special template. For more info please look at this demonstration ­ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9d9a0zX5tg I am an animator with a special interest to libre and open­source software. Since 2001 I am teaching CG animation to kids and actively contributing to various open­source software projects since 2007. My main role in the open­source is leading the Morevna Project and helding administrator responsiblities in Synfig Studio development (http://synfig.org/). From time to time I like creating video tutorials about animation in Synfig, also doing some random contributions to its code. 17:00 (opening talk) Future Tools Femke Snelting, Laura Fernandez, Marcos Garcia 17:20 Programalaplaza: an online tool to write visual sketches for the Medialab­prado Media facade Sergio GalÁn, Victor Diaz programalaplaza.medialab­prado.es The Medialab­Prado media facade is a 15m x 10m low resolution screen. It is an expensive infrastructure unique in the world. Until now, creating content for the facade has been a slow process, where apps has been done almost from scratch and with not so many people creating content for it. How to open this huge infrastructure for a massive and easy participation? Using the power of web technologies we designed and coded "Programalaplaza" (code the square) an online IDE which has all the elements to successfully develop and show visual pieces on the facade only using a web browser.
