  "textContent": "We have been trying to encourage contributors to be more present on various events, international or local. Here is where you will find someone from the GIMP team in the coming weeks:\n\n## Linux App Summit 2026¶\n\n> The Linux App Summit (LAS) brings the global Linux community together to learn, collaborate, and help grow the Linux application ecosystem.\n\n_Linux App Summit 2026, May 16-17, 2026 - Berlin, Germany_\n\nIt happens this week-end, from May 16 to 17 in Berlin, Germany, and we will have one person attending, Michael Schumacher, one of our long term contributor, as well as member of our Committee.\n\nUnfortunately our project did not submit a talk, but we are still interested to meet more of the desktop software ecosystem contributors and see what’s happening around us! So if you attend too and spot Michael, do not hesitate to go and speak with him. He will likely have Wilber stickers to distribute too! 😍\n\n## 10th Congrès ADULLACT¶\n\nThe Congrès ADULLACT is a conference gathering elected representatives of French local authorities, to discuss Free Software usage in the public sector.\n\n_10th Congrès ADULLACT, June 4-5, 2026 - Montpellier, France_\n\nJehan, GIMP Maintainer, will be present there to showcase GIMP as a Community, Free Software. Obviously GIMP is already quite massively present in France, but as many Free Software, administrators and users alike may not realize how it is being developed, by whom, why and how. Nor do they know that it is being developed by a major part in Europe and more particularly in France. Since one of the two main topics this year is the digital sovereignty, this is quite a major stake in this context.\n\nThe event happens from June 4 to 5, 2026, in Montpellier, France. As one can imagine, it is a close event for elected representatives and civil servants only, so if this is your case, we hope you will show up and Jehan will be happy to discuss with you!\n\nJehan’s talk will be on **Friday, June 5, 2026, at 14:20 (French time)** and he will introduce GIMP as a “Free Software and Community”.\n\nWe hope you’ll be many to attend! (oh and Jehan as well will have Wilber stickers, even though it may less a selling point in such a conference 😋)",
