The Libre Graphics Meeting (LGM) is an annual meeting on free and open source software for graphics. It has a history since 2006, but it suffered from the pandemic and faced the troubles of a generational shift of the organizers. This year, 2024, the first proper edition was held again in Rennes, France, to get it back on track after the 2019 edition in Saarbrücken and two online editions. Now, I attempt to take over the torch and carry it to Nuremberg in 2025.
* An introduction to the LGM and how I became the next local organizer.
* What I've learned so far about the structure of the LGM, or what is left of it after the global COVID-19 Pandemic.
* Challenges in organizing a local edition of the LGM: a work-in-progress status report.
* A call for supporters, partners, sponsors, and a team.
* Ideas for a framework for improved support of future LGM local organization teams and interfacing with a global informal network/organization.
