Устройства, которые мы потеряли: Инженерное чудо первого коммуникатора HTC

В сегодняшней статье мы продолжим с вами ретроспективную рубрику о том, на каких аппаратных и программных платформах работали легендарные устройства из нулевых.

How to Run a Film Festival on Libre Graphics (lgm2025)

Organising a film festival is 90% communication. The FOSS and Libre Graphics toolbox is well-equipped for this.

Last November, we've been comissioned to produce a small series of printed maps for a cultural center in Lessines, Belgium, to celebrate memories of Louis Scutenaire and René Magritte. We aimed for a project using three colors, and decided to go for spot color printing - using libre graphics tools, mainly QGIS for the design of the map, and Scribus for layout elements and to prepare the pdfs for printing. We also used Inkscape to...
