The GUADEC event is a great opportunity for free and open source software experts from all over the world to get together and share their knowledge. More than 250 GNOME developers, users, foundation leaders, governments, individuals and businesses will be present at the event to discuss the future of the GNOME desktop environment.
"GUADEC has become an essential event for the GNOME community, providing a venue for critical issues to be discussed and new community members to integrate fully."
