title: I think that conversations are the best, biggest thing  that Free Software has to offer its user

Launch of of publication + presentation of publishing workflow. 'Conversations' is an extensive collection of conversations between developers and designers involved in the wider ecosystem of Libre Graphics. Its lengthy title, _I think that conversations are the best, biggest thing that Free Software has to offer its user_, is taken from an interview with Debian developer Asheesh Laroia. His remark points at the difference that Free Software can make when users are invited to consider, interrogate and discuss not only the technical details of software, but its concepts and histories as well. 'Conversations' is edited by Femke Snelting and Christoph Haag. The publication was produced collaboratively, using a custom Libre Graphics workflow developed by Christoph Haag.
