GUADEC Schedule is LIVE!
Really, it should have been Glynn Foster announcing this – that man rocks!
We now have a preliminary schedule for GUADEC online. This will change considerably as speakers are confirmed, or drop out, or ask to be moved.
I’m really happy with this – we have a big day of talks, BOFs and tutorials on Sunday, with 2 tracks of traditiona techie talks and presentations, one track of multimedia talks, one track of tutorials and one track of BOFs.
Then the crown jewel of the conference on Monday – a day where we get the juices flowing and do what everyone is coming to GUADEC for – plan the future of GNOME. Some of this is planned, and a lot of it isn’t. This is your day, particularly module maintainers who have had to skip lunch to do planning sessions in the past. Use the wiki, use the whiteboards, get your major actors in one place, and knock yourselves out.
Highlights of the day will be the Topaz planning session, the lightning talks (Impress in 5 minutes, or your money back!), and the Freeform Group Session (kind of a second session of lightning talks, where people come back from their planning sessions, and share all of the cool plans with everyone else). Oh, and the party afterwards.
And finally, on Tuesday, we give ourselves a chance to evangelise. We will show the best of the GNOME desktop to local businesses and users. Some highlights of the day will be, without doubt, Glynn’s talk about 101 things to know about GNOME, Barbara Held who will be talking about the EU’s committment to free software, and the inimitable Jon Trowbridge showing off the coolest new development to come out of GNOME since the cheese theme in 1.4, Beagle.
Get on over to the wiki at http://live.gnome.org/Stuttgart2005 and start sharing your plans! Oh, and don’t forget to offer lifts if you’re coming by car.
