About GUADEC
GUADEC (pronounced gwah-dec) is the largest get together of GNOME users, developers, foundation leaders, individuals, governments and businesses in the world.
GUADEC is an acronym for the GNOME Users’ And Developers’ European Conference. Held annually in cities around Europe, presentations are given by software developers, business leaders and users who are involved in Open Source, Free Software and of course, GNOME.
These combine with many practical sessions and discussion groups which set the direction of the GNOME project. It also aims to attract new developers and contributors, as well has serve as a meeting point for corporate interests and allow us to showcase some of the latest technologies.
In its 11th consecutive year, GUADEC 2010 is being held in the The Hague University, in The Hague, Netherlands, from Monday 26th July, until Friday 30th July.

About GNOME
GNOME is an open source project that provides an attractive, usable and accessible computer interface environment for million of users for free. But more than anything else, GNOME is a worldwide community of volunteers who hack, translate, design, QA, and generally have fun together.
The GNOME Open Desktop Day
Prior to GUADEC, the GNOME Open Desktop Day will take place, which is in fact a preconference to GUADEC.
The GNOME Open Desktop Day will be organized in association with Programme Office NOiV — 'the Netherlands in Open Connection'.
GNOME Developer training
On 26 July and 27 July 2010, the first GNOME Developer Training sessions will be run as part of GUADEC 2010.
The participants will be trained in developing on and for the GNOME desktop, and in working effectively with the community.

Thanks Y'all!
The GUADEC 2010 team would like to thank all volunteers and participants for making GUADEC 2010 an amazing event. Thank you everybody!GUADEC 2010, Day 3
With nearly 400 participants getting together to discuss current and future GNOME projects, GUADEC 2010 saw its final day filled with topics addressing diversity and connectivity. Several of the sessions specifically emphasised the multi-cultural aspect of the GNOME project, with presentations by Emily Chen (GNOME in Asia), Jonh Wendell (GNOME in Brazil), Andre Klapper (Identifying software projects and translation teams in need) and Silvia Miranda (Quality translations in GNOME). Other talks again dealt with the idea of a GNOME desktop integrating with web services, including Adrien Bustany (Is your GNOME connected? Unifying the online and the offline using smantic services), Rob Bradford (Embracing the Web - Integrating web services within GNOME), and Zeeshan Ali and Lennart Poettering (Bringing the Network back into GNOME technologies).Volunteers needed - network teardown

GUADEC was in full swing today as 20 session speakers and discussion groups presented throughout the day. Many morning sessions delved into technical detail. Rob Bradford's 5 things every GNOME hacker should know was a success (and he even had 6 tips to share!), and John Palmieri reinforced keynote thoughts from yesterday with his talk The future is JavaScript. The Google Summer of Code Student Lightning Talks drew an energetic crowd, and Stormy Peters gave us advice on GNOME Foundation: Getting things done.GUADEC 2010, Day 1
GUADEC 2010, the annual GNOME User and Developer European Conference, kicked off with a keynote speech by Mozilla lawyer Luis Villa. Mr Villa encouraged GNOME to embrace the web, saying that in the struggle between web and desktop, the web has come out on top. Why? Because the web is a powerful, reliable, cheap, available and a constantly improving application platform. This should be a wake-up call for developers of the GNOME desktop suite to design their applications to web standards, including using HTML 5, CSS-like and JavaScript when building or rewriting code.GUADEC Design Thinking Workshop - one more time!
