We’re currently working on a poster for the support comittees for the nine people accused of \u201ccriminal association for the purposes of terrorist activity”. They were arrested the 11th of november 2008, in France, and 2 of them are still in jail. <\/p>\n

They and others are the victims of a witch-hunt in which the word \u201cterrorism\u201d is applied to any ideas and practices which challenge the status quo. An international movement is emerging in their support.<\/p>\n

For the poster, we re-mixed an open font, the Free Sans<\/a> (think of Free Avec \ud83d\ude09 as Pierre might say) from Free UCS Outline Fonts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Even if the license is a bit unclear:<\/p>\n

From FreeSans font:
\nCopyleft 2002, 2003, 2005, 2008 Free Software Foundation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We did a version with A, R, a, and t glyph modified. The general aspect of the font completly changed. There’s only the regular weight yet, but other may follow. Other versions as well…<\/p>\n

Those “terrorists” were arrested in the Goutaillou Farm, in Tarnac, Corr\u00e8ze<\/a>. Corr\u00e8ze is part of the Limousin<\/a> region. This is why we called it Limousine.
\nIt is also referred to the Limousine car, or limo, which may come from this etymology:<\/p>\n

Le nom limousine viendrait du Limousin, la r\u00e9gion de Limoges, dont les habitants portaient une vaste p\u00e9lerine pour se prot\u00e9ger de la pluie, ou en r\u00e9f\u00e9rence \u00e0 Charles Jeantaud, n\u00e9 \u00e0 Limoges (1843-1906), l’inventeur de ce type de carrosserie appliqu\u00e9e aux premi\u00e8res voitures confortables. L’origine la plus probable est celle du v\u00e9hicule hippomobile appel\u00e9 limousine.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We hope they’ll go free soon.<\/p>\n
