Introducing GNOME 42

The GNOME Project is proud to announce the release of GNOME 42.

This release introduces Dark mode and an entirely new screenshot workflow. Beyond that, there are several improved Settings panels, many of the GNOME applications have been ported to GTK 4 and libadwaita, and much more.

To learn more about the changes in GNOME 42, you can read the release notes or watch our release video.

GNOME 42 will be available shortly in many distributions. If you want to try it today, you can look for the imminent Fedora 36 beta or the openSUSE nightly live images which both include GNOME 42.

We are also providing our own installer images for debugging and testing features. These images are meant for installation in a vm and require GNOME Boxes with UEFI support. We suggest getting Boxes from flathub.

If you are interested in building applications for GNOME 42, look for the GNOME 42 Flatpak SDK, which is available in the www.flathub.org repository.

This six-month effort wouldn’t have been possible without the whole GNOME community, made of contributors and friends from all around the world: developers, designers, documentation writers, usability and accessibility specialists, translators, maintainers, students, system administrators, companies, artists, testers and last, but not least, our users.

GNOME would not exist without all of you. Thank you to everyone!

We hope to see some of you at GUADEC 2022 in Mexico!

Our next release, GNOME 43, is planned for October 2022.

Until then, enjoy GNOME 42.

GUADEC 2022 Call for Participation is Now Open

The GNOME Foundation is excited to announce that the call for participation for GUADEC 2022 is now open.

Proposals can be submitted on the event page: https://events.gnome.org/event/77/abstracts/

GUADEC, the GNOME community’s largest conference, will take place in Guadalajara, Mexico between the 20th and 25th of July.

This year’s conference includes a number of exciting milestones! GUADEC 2022 will be our first return to in-person events after two years of remote conferences and will include streaming for those who wish to join virtually. This will also be our first GUADEC held in North America. We hope this expansion of our flagship conference will not only make it easier for our community members in North and South America to attend but will also kick-start local participation in the GNOME project. Furthermore, this year we celebrate our 25th Anniversary of GNOME! In honor of this momentous occasion, our conference theme for GUADEC 2022 will be 25 Years of GNOME. We encourage anyone interested in submitting a proposal to think about how their work with GNOME has evolved and progressed throughout our project history, tell us about your current work, or look ahead to future projects and initiatives.

The GNOME Foundation is looking for talks on a wide range of topics including but not limited to:

  • Application development
  • Privacy and security
  • Community and team building
  • Design of user and developer experience
  • Use of GNOME technologies outside the desktop
  • Newcomers initiatives
  • Project planning and governance

The first three days of the conference, the 20th – 22nd of July, will be dedicated to talks. The next two days, 23rd – 24th, will be BoFs and workshops, and the last day will be a fun social event for everyone who would like to join.

We hope that everyone will join us in Guadalajara for an in-person presentation, but we also have a limited number of remote talk spots for those attending virtually. Please indicate if your proposal is for a remote talk by selecting a remote contribution type on your submission.

Talk submissions are due by the 8th of April, 19:00 UTC.

Additional updates about GUADEC 2022 can be found on the event website and on our social media channels. Press inquiries and questions regarding the event can be sent to: guadec@gnome.org
