libre graphics

Pata Macedo one of the students in my "building dynamic websites in a ridiculously short amount of time" class told me about this conference in MTL in early may.

We bring together developers and users of the best of free software graphics applications - Blender, GIMP, Inkscape, Krita, Scribus, and more. 2007 promises to be a fun ride, with tutorials and presentations of applications, and lots of time and space to chat, meet up with old friends, make new ones. Plans will be made, hacking and drawing will be done, fun will be had.

Sound good to me, I am so addicted to Photoshop, maybe this will be the kick in the ace I need to stop relying so heavily on Macromedia image editing tools.
