what I ment was we should have a real art show... in IRL. I was

very NA minded but I dont see why there couldnt be one in NA and/or else
where.
The large majority of the Design Team is based outside North America
(true, our greatest star *is* from NA), with strong presence in Europe
and South America, but we also have contributors from Middle East and
Far East.
Whoever got the resources sorted out first could just do it. That way
it
can also be a localized event.
There is Libre Graphics Meeting, which will happen this year at the end
of May in Brussels - I have a few plans about that and hope some
European contributors will be able to participate.
If people from other areas wanted to contribute they could either fly
or
ship the work to the location where the event was being held.
Beyond being a community, Fedora is software so the works are mostly
digital... there is little need for shipping. However, flying people in
North America... this is difficult.
I think doing this in IRL gives "regular people" to the
chance to walk
into a building and without even knowing it be exposed to freesoftware
and the culture that loves it.
Having a "real" gallery with rooms and printed works is going to be
*expensive*.
PS: we weren't able to put together even the Picture Book -
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Picture_book, despite having
budget and photographers.
