+[LGM][lgm] is an amazing opportunity for developers, contributors, visual artists, and supporters of free 
software projects to come together to work, discuss, and learn from each other.
+Past years have had multiple days of interesting and insightful presentations, _birds of a feather_ 
meetings, and many types of wonderful workshops.
+There's also an opportunity to meet some of the GIMP team as well!
 
-The GIMP team and Libre Graphics Meeting (LGM) go way back. 
-In 2005, annual meetings of GIMP developers branched out to a new conference that embraced developers of 
free software, graphic and type designers, photographers, and 3D artists. That conference was LGM.
+This year the host is the [Westminster School of Media Arts and Design][westminster], University of 
Westminster at their Harrow Campus:

-Ever since then we attend the event every year to hold project meetings, talk to fellow developers from 
other libre projects, and get inspired by the work that you, our end-users, present.
+If you are unable to join us at the meeting, please [consider donating something][pledgie] to help offset 
the costs of project participants to make the trip out to collaborate with so many other awesome project!
+LGM has a [Pledgie campaign][pledgie] running to assist with travel costs for participants:

+Funds from their Pledgie go towards helping contributors from all around the world converge at the meeting 
to share and present their work with others.

+
+### Special Focus: Other Dimensions
+
+For the 2016 edition of LGM, they are looking at a different aspect of Libre Graphics, [*Other 
Dimensions*][other-dim]:
 
-If you are a GIMP user with outstanding skills in graphic design, painting, illustration, or photography, we 
encourage you to attend LGM 2016 and do a GIMP workshop. 
-Please use [this submission form](http://libregraphicsmeeting.org/2016/submit-proposal/) to send a proposal. 
-Submission deadline is **January 10, 2016**.
+> For the 2016 edition of LGM we continue speculating and will expand Libre Graphics into Other Dimensions. 
+We are looking for presentations and workshops that explore the dimensions of space and material: 3D 
modelling and animation, Libre architecture, Open Source product design and other fields of digital making 
and manufacture. 
+We are also seeking contributions that offer reflections on the ‘other dimensions’ of open source 
communities and that engage with FLOSS tools in various contexts including but not limited to teaching, 
learning, practice and co-production. 
+This represents a desire to address the future sustainability of the Libre Graphics movement, through a 
growth of the core projects and topics that will, we hope, allow us to welcome more and more FLOSS projects 
and participants to our community.
+
+
+### A History of GIMP + LGM
+
+Over 10 years ago the annual meetings of GIMP developers branched out to LGM, and we have been attending the 
event every year since.
+It's an opportunity to hold project meetings, talk to fellow contributors to other libre projects, and to 
get inspired by the work that you, our users, create.
+
+At the 2014 LGM in Leipzig, Germany, members of the GIMP team were cornered for a few moments to capture 
some portraits.
+Here are just _some_ of the faces you might get to see at LGM 2016!

-There are, of course, more formats for active participation: longer and shorter talks, hackathons, Bird of a 
Feather meetings, etc. 
-You can learn more about those from the [press 
release](http://libregraphicsmeeting.org/2016/call-for-participation/).
+If you are a GIMP user with outstanding skills in graphic design, painting, illustration, or photography, we 
encourage you to attend LGM 2016.
 
 We'll be excited to meet you in person!
