Hello everyone! 👋

I created this account because I would like to start a Libre Graphics community in Budapest for people interested in creative tools such as Krita, Blender, Inkscape, darktable, digiKam and other free and open source graphics software.

The goal is to create a relaxed and friendly meetup (“Stammtisch”) where artists, illustrators, photographers, designers, developers, students, Linux users, hobbyists and curious newcomers can meet, exchange ideas, share workflows and projects, discover new tools, and help each other learn.

At the moment, I am planning two meetup dates:
‱ around the end of September
‱ and another around early to mid November

The exact dates are still open — I would like to decide them together with people who are interested in the idea.

There may also already be an earlier meetup around the end of June.

Possible locations:
- Kastner Kommunity
- Kelet Kåvézó és Galéria

Suggestions are welcome!

If this sounds interesting to you, feel free to follow, comment, boost or message the account.
Let’s build a Libre Graphics community in Budapest together 🎹🐧

Kedves mindenki! 👋

IndĂ­tsunk egy Libre Graphics / nyĂ­lt forrĂĄskĂłdĂș grafikai közössĂ©get Budapesten!

Ezt a fiokot azert hoztam lĂ©tre, hogy megprobaljam összehozni azokat az embereket Budapesten Ă©s MagyarorszĂĄgon, akiket Ă©rdekelnek olyan kreatĂ­v szoftverek, mint a Krita, Blender, Inkscape, darktable, digiKam Ă©s mĂĄs szabad Ă©s nyĂ­lt forrĂĄskĂłdĂș grafikai programok.

A cĂ©l egy barĂĄtsĂĄgos Ă©s kötetlen talĂĄlkozĂł („törzsasztal”) lĂ©trehozĂĄsa, ahol mƱvĂ©szek, illusztrĂĄtorok, fotĂłsok, grafikusok, fejlesztƑk, diĂĄkok, egyetemistĂĄk, Linux-felhasznĂĄlĂłk, hobbifelhasznĂĄlĂłk Ă©s kĂ­vĂĄncsi Ă©rdeklƑdƑk talĂĄlkozhatnak, ötleteket cserĂ©lhetnek, megoszthatjĂĄk workflow-jaikat Ă©s projektjeiket, Ășj eszközöket fedezhetnek fel, Ă©s segĂ­thetnek egymĂĄsnak a tanulĂĄsban.

Jelenleg két talålkozót tervezek:
‱ szeptember vĂ©ge körĂŒl
‱ valamint egy mĂĄsikat november eleje Ă©s közepe között

A pontos idƑpontok mĂ©g nincsenek eldöntve — ezeket szĂ­vesen egyeztetnĂ©m azokkal, akiket Ă©rdekel az ötlet.

LehetsĂ©ges, hogy mĂĄr jĂșnius vĂ©ge körĂŒl is lesz egy korĂĄbbi talĂĄlkozĂł.

Lehetséges helyszínek:
- Kastner Kommunity
- Kelet Kåvézó és Galéria

Minden javaslatot örömmel fogadok!

Ha Ă©rdekesnek talĂĄlod az ötletet, kövesd a fiĂłkot, kommentelj, oszd meg vagy Ă­rj ĂŒzenetet.

If you're into creative work and #opensource you might want to check out MABarbe's talk on "The State of #LibreGraphics" from this week's @lgm. It summarizes recent developments of large projects like @GIMP, @Krita, @kdenlive or @inkscape, but also references more specialized initiatives like @penpot, #Hyper8, #Pexieditor, #Tixl, @friction or @Coollab. The #LGM26 site has a list of the mentioned projects, available via https://libregraphicsmeeting.org/2026/projects/

Projects - Libre Graphics Meeting 2026 – RE:wire, Nuremberg, Germany

It's a wrap. The last day of the @lgm featured more cool talks including the one about a @fragdenstaat clicker game made in @godot. Kudos to the local team in #Nuremberg. I feel rewired and inspired. See you at the #libregraphicsmeeting 2027 in #Linz!

The @lgm 2026 in #Nuremberg was a wonderful experience. Thanks to the local team for the great organisation. I'm tired, but inspired. Time to head home now! See you at #LGM 2027 in #Linz.

Interesting talks, astonishing live demos. On the third day of @lgm I learned about some very cool #foss projects like #OssiaScore, @counterpunch or @liblast. Recordings of the talks are available!

An elegant tool from a more civilized age


@simonthiefes and me have put together a typometer for our students in summersemester. We left some of them at the sticker table at @lgm

The second day of the @lgm was a great experience. It included a #LGM community workshop, soldering, the group photo and (lightning) talks including one on "Live Coding for Artists and Designers" by @hamoid and one on the @GIMP community by Jehan.
