Greetings everybody, just to let you know that a French contributor, Mathieu Demange, has managed to put together a LilyPond event tomorrow in Paris: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user-fr/2019-02/msg00178.html
We’re hoping that it can turn into a regular event; at the very least the location that’ll be hosting it is quite enthusiastic and willing to help us make it so. (It’s taking place at the Musical Library in Forum des Halles, dead center of Paris where all subway and train lines converge. Which is to say, no one could ever dream a more suitable place.) Quite a bunch of French-speaking users and contributors are expected to attend; among others, long-time developer John Mandereau is said to drop by, as well as Pierre Perol-Schneider who’s also active on English-speaking lists, and many others (among whom yours truly). Offered as a "free buffet" from 3 to 6pm, this event welcomes both hardcore LilyPonders doing quite complicated things, as well as mere beginners or simply curious people interested either in music or nifty pieces of Free software (ideally in both). There should be some short lectures, as well as more informal exchanges, Q.&A. sessions, demos, tutorials and so on. I’ll let you know how it went, but hopefully this can set a precedent and possibly provide some kind of a roadmap for other people to organize similar events elsewhere in France and other countries! Cheers, V. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
