In January, Jiří Eischmann started organizing the GNOME 3 Launch Party in the Czech Republic, with the obvious goal to celebrate the major release of GNOME 3, to promote and talk about the next generation of the GNOME Desktop in front of the Czech audience interested in FLOSS and technology generally.
A rather informal event in its form, organized by the Czech Translation Team, will be hosted on Saturday, April 9, 2011, at the Student Facilities in Strahov (Strahov Dormitory Campus), Block 7, Prague (Areál kolejí Strahov, blok 7, Praha 6). See Google Maps.
We will start at 15:00 with the following talks:
- Tomáš Bžatek & Tomeu Vizoso: GNOME 3 from users’ and developers’ perspective
- Vojtěch Trefný: Unity as an alternative way
- André Klapper: Release and bug management in GNOME (in English)
- Petr Kovář: Czech localization
Visitors will be offered fresh Live USB Images running GNOME 3 based on Fedora. After the conference part (around 19:00), there will be a social event/informal meeting in a near pub.
There may be some further news from organizers regarding this event, so follow the appropriate Czech GNOME 3 Launch Party page, or this blog.
Come to visit us and join the GNOME 3 fun in Prague!
Having a unity talk at a gnome3 launch party is a bad idea.
Just to let you guys know.
A number of the designers behind GNOME 3 will be in Prague this weekend.
I’ve booked us into the event ;-)
