State of Libre Graphics 2026

Every year, the Libre Graphics Meeting starts with an opening presentation called the State of Libre Graphics, an update from the many software, curation publication and umbrella projects of our Libre Graphics community.

Submission Details:

You know what would be really cool? Make you slides using your project's software!

• If because of this the slide dimensions or format deviates from the norm, that's completely fine, I'll adapt it into the presentation. Video submissions should aim to be under 1 min, definitely under 1.5 min.

Each project should submit in the respective project directory:

• name of project, project logo/branding, further links if you want, and a short one or two sentence description of the project
• A title slide/hero shot and/or picture of the software in use.
  • If need more images, feel free
• Changes/changelog in the last year
• Plans/roadmap for the future
• Speaker notes in a markdown file.
  • Whatever is listed in there will be read aloud (avoid long run-on texts)
  • Mark which text should be read with which slide.
• Presence at LGM
  • If there are members of your project attending LGM, feel free to list them here so people can find you.
  • If you have a talk or workshop at LGM about your project, feel to add a mention here

The submission should end up looking something similar to this:

.
└── project name folder/
    ├── project.md
    │   ├── # Name
    │   ├── Description of Project
    │   ├── ### Further Links
