Yes, we’re already getting ready for the next Guadec. In case you’re not up to speed on the details so far, the venue has been booked for the 15th – 21st July 2007.
We know this may clash with another developer conference, but those details have not been confirmed yet. There are several reasons why we are holding it later than other years, one of which was that many students are unsure of their commitments until the end of July, and asked if it could be later.
Paul visited the venue (Conservatiore, Birmingham, UK) yesterday and took some pictures. Discussion is currently taking place on the gnome-uk list, but may move over to the guadec lists soon.
Which details haven’t been confirmed yet? Andrew was a week or so away from booking the venue for OLS next year when we left Ottawa, and I’d be surprised if he hasn’t done so now, and even more surprised if he couldn’t say “it’ll be these dates with this extremely high level of probability”.
As a GNOME developer who just got back from OLS and heard great things about GUADEC this year and wanted to go next year, this makes me sad; OLS is too big to be able to pass up in favour of hanging out with GNOMEies.
The other details being the details of the other conference.
