##No Flash
In 2003, Constant organised a session on editing and designing webcontent using Free, Libre and Open Source Software. Artists and designers could try Gimp, Scribus and Sodipodi (now Inkscape). For the occasion, a special Linux distribution was developed (Rollmops) that facilitated the install of various FLOSS design tools. "_NoFlash is an effort to propagate the use of free software among artists, elaborate processes of creative collaboration and propose new formats for exhibiting digital artworks._"

##Open Source Publishing
In 2006, OSP was initiated as a (temporary) attempt to test out whether it was possible to run a design practice on Free, Libre and Open Source software. Since 2013 OSP has become its own association, independent from Constant.

##Libre Graphics Meeting
"The Libre Graphics Meeting (LGM) is an annual meeting on free and open source software for graphics. Held yearly since 2006 the Libre Graphics Meeting aims to attract  developers, artists and professionals who use and improve free and open source software graphics applications. LGM promotes discussions amongst software developers, users, and the large intersection of those two categories."
Constant has hosted this international meeting twice: 2010 (Brussels) and 2013 (Madrid).
